How did Insomniac make Marvel’s Wolverine more accessible? I spoke with Michele Zorrilla and Sam Schaffel from @insomniac.games about high-contrast shaders, traversal assist, combat cues, violence settings, and the research behind it all. Watch: youtu.be/hPvcpzUBCVU

6) Marvel's Wolverine - @insomniac.games I beat this game on the hardest difficulty, which is something I have never done before. I legit had a great time playing this. I loved the challenge of it, and because of the accessibility, it's one of my favourite games of the year.

Screenshot from Marvel's Wolverine: Logan stands on top of Omega Red and tries to pull off Red's mechanical tentacle, which is wrapped around Logan's throat.

Saying one of the most prolific live service titles “fell short of expectations” in a massive layoff announcement is a slap in the face to every dev and every player who knows how much Destiny meant in an industry where longevity is rare. Whose expectations did it fail? The investors? The execs?

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

I'm so happy to see the pride folks have from working on initiatives we led via Black at Bungie. And to clarify, with the help of the Bungie Foundation and the amazing fans, the pin and emblem he's talking about raised $425,000 for the Equal Justice Initiative in the first year!

bungie, former destiny 2 devs told me, was a fraught work environment, but many devs and teams did what they consider to be career-best work despite that

In general what I enjoyed about our work on the open world content was that we were able to do weird stuff and take character-motivated swings. Devrim Kay, Failsafe, Sloan, and Asher Mir are a pretty wild lineup. And it was great being able to explore very different aspects of the world than you could see through the eyes of Zavala / Cayde / Ikora.
Working at Bungie was the most toxic, dysfunctional experience of my professional life. But the incredible people that I got the chance to work with were some of the best in the world at what they do, and I consider all of them friends to this day.

The thing to take away about Destiny 2's fate is that shit takes a long time in game dev. The discussions we were having a year or two ago are echoing as fixes in this final patch. The dour community mood from a year ago killed it now. Echoes & shadows of years past affect games more than you think.

I'm reminded of this observation -- Somewhere along that lower gradient men cease to see woman as people. And I sorta think it might be at about the 25% mark, to be honest.

A viral image showing two bars. The top one is how men see other men: it's 90% white and labelled "good men", and about 10% red labelled "crazed evil men".

The bottom bar is labelled "but it's actually closer to this" and it shows a detailed gradient between white on the left and red on the right, with progressively bad labels like "well-meaning men who underestimate the issue" and "men who think certain women deserve it", culminating in "monsters so cruel we can't even fathom."

One aspect of hip hop that I don't see much discussion around is when artists reference past rap songs in their lyrics. For example in the J Cole song Sparks Will Fly he says: "I love you like a fat kid loves cake and shit, I love you like a bad kid loves breaking shit." youtu.be/aLNksgXTSKc?...
