@rystorm.com Hello Robin-Yann! I saw this youtu.be/kvRrN3CXj4s?... at Blizzcon this year and it's a great look at the tools that are used by Blizzard to make the environments in world of warcraft. You'll never guess! There's at least one whole Zoo :D

I keep seeing arguments for games being expensive due to hyper realistic expectations for art, or simply lots of art. What I don’t see is the actual most costly reason: Indecision Iteration is good, but the yearly rebuilding of entire characters, storylines, and levels, is the most expensive thing

There's a level of AI usage in game development where, if you read between the lines, the developers are saying "we're only using it to placate the failson seagull so he'll get off our case and we can get back to work" but they can't say they're just jangling keys for a bloviating manager.

During Lockdown there were times when things were extremely bleak. Destiny 2 became a lifeline to me and being able to login, jump on a voice call and play some crucible or go on a raid with people literally made the difference between me being here writing this and not. Thanks, @bungie.net GMTOF

CEO had me log a Sev-1 bug about a missing 1 px line between UI elements. Production asked me why I'd done it. I told them. They explained: "He did this so he can say, if it fails, that's all he could do and if it works, it was because of his subtle guiding hand." This is them hedging their bets.

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

“I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that,” Weir said. “I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that.”

“For instance, as a lifelong Star Trek fan, it’s always bothered me that there is a presumed ‘responsibility’ within Star Trek shows to talk about social issues,” the writer added. “I just want to watch Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other.”
