For anyone who liked Mass Effect and kinda hates EA, I strongly recommend this former BioWare employee’s account(he went independent). For reference, he worked on the only good part of ME:A, the combat. And also drops bombs on why that game was a dumpster fire.

Blizzard seems to be falling to Activision, now that they finally have their hooks in the company. I expect them to run Blizzard like they have always wanted and for all the talent to leave over time.

It's a tragedy how AAA games publishers and development have borrowed the worst traits of modern American corporate culture. Inviting in MBAs with no interest in games beyond the short-term profits to be extracted, adopting mobile game and MMO tactics for other games, and vampire squidding the passion out.

It is the nature of the beast, especially now that this is a billion dollar industry. This is why unionization and labor advocacy is the only way forward for a lot of the game industry. Until that happens, every single one of our favorite studios is going to get bought up and sucked until the marrow falls out of its husk of a corpse. Because there is no way to fight back against the EA of the world that will buy up a studio with promises of independence, only to murder that studio when the new CEO takes over.

Well, you can just refuse to be bought out (which is what I'm assuming Valve has done). Realistically what matters are the developers, not the studio. Follow the devs of your favorite games around, they generally make really interesting games after having the freedom to just sorta do whatever (Torchlight was made years before Diablo 3, but generally more well received, but sold less well, and eventually some of them went on to make Rebel Galaxy).

Daily workout? Hot damn that's a lot of workout.

I've been skipping exercise to play as much AC odyssey as possible before starting work on Monday xd

Skipping leg day is an expression to make fun of people that only train their upper body (biceps primarily) and thus have flimsy legs

when you can't have a regular schedule ur kinda forced to do everything everytime
but you don't go to the gym every day

you can also mix a ton of muscles in the same movement with compound excercise being way more time efficient

like dealifts, snatchs, squats, etc...

Publishing is really hard for independent developers like Obsidian, from all reports. Without the non developer support staff and marketing budgets that companies like EA can provide, its hard to make it work. Which is why a lot of people are talking about unionization and moving toward a model that works more like movie studios, where the developer/studio are more capable of existing beyond the production of a game.

RE2 Remake demo ended a lot faster than I thought. Only took me 22 minutes to reach the point where it ended, and I didn't take a single hit. Was a nice experience though and I'm satisfied with the technical performance.

True. It's a demo for the public and I'm sure it's on easy or medium difficulty, but it was a bit of a snooze and I didn't ever feel scared or limited on resources. I'll hope the game picks up the pace with more B.O.W.s and zombie numbers and knowing it's the beginning, serves as a tutorial.

it's all about position, deadlifts need to be done in a perfect way otherwise it might hurt you

I think Atelier Lydie and Suelle is right up ITH's aisle, but the game is 60$ and the dlc is an extra 80$ (some of which is like, basic parts of the game). So the price is a little outrageous

Amusingly enough Microsoft unironically seems like a company that funds game development and allows passionate devs to make good games, at least that's what I've observed so far from the games they've been funding/studios they've been buying

Who knows, maybe they'll become awful soon
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Kind of goes along with being the worst team to win TI ever. Not that they didnt deserve it in the moment but it took a perfect storm of patch/luck/timing etc. Which made it a great story.
