I'm not sure, that's a sound design question. I'll ask around.

I'm humbly requesting @natashahoar.bsky.social play Marvels Wolverine so I can hear all her thoughts on the audio and VO specifically.

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.

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

It has heart and it is fun! I think it's definitely a solid film. The biggest thing I struggled with was that I left the film with several plot/character questions that the film leaves in an unsatisfying place.

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.

And just hours and hours of playing online with my friends and coworkers. Celebrating every new release, watching streamers when a new raid dropped, getting excited for players to hear my work. It was a job, with plenty of frustrating bits. But I'll treasure the fond memories. Eyes up Guardians!

Me talking to a writer and a game designer in review: "So... this dialogue isn't really working... This character isn't so much a believable person as he is a collection of immediately contradicting messages. Any suggestions for how we can fix this?"
