Oh no, Ubisoft games at risk of becoming even more bland and shit.

I think the thing annoys me about this more than anything is that the Games Industry, which I work in, currently has a problem with junior roles.

It is exceptionally difficult to find a large studio willing to hire someone with no industry experience, it’s often the case that a large studio won’t be hiring junior roles at all.

So there’s no new talent being cultivated. And the game industry needs that talent to evolve and survive!

First drafts of NPC dialogue is 100% something that junior writers would be able to do. It is incredibly frustrating that large studios are creating tools to cut down roles.

I would argue that foregoing new junior candidates in favour of these tools goes against ethical game development.

I know its fun to be like omg twitter is dying lets goooo

but its really sad that we're losing yet another form of human communication and years of information because of another ceo baby manchild. I'm going to lose contact with a bunch of friends i've made because of this and it sucks

i firmly believe “megabase builder” should be a new diagnosis in the dsm6 because there is NO way a sane person would put themselves through this

i unironically believe electricity is the closest thing we have to magic in this universe. consider:

• it's basically what human "souls" are made of (your consciousness is the result of miniscule amounts of electric charge jumping between neurons in your brain)
• when handled incorrectly or encountered in the wild, it is a deadly force that can kill you in at least half a dozen different ways
• when treated respectfully and channeled into the proper conduits, it is a power source that forms the backbone of modern society
• if you engrave the right sigils into a rock and channel electricity into it, you can make the rock think
• there is a dedicated caste of mages (electrical engineers) tasked with researching it in ivory towers
• whatever the fuck Galvani was doing with those frog legs
• look at this and just try to tell me it isn't a kind of summoning circle

I love the idea of dead gods. Not in the sense of “hey i killed something supernaturally strong” but in the sense of “i killed it and it’s still a god.” It is still worshipped. prayers are still answered. miracles are performed in its name, even as it lies pierced by a thousand swords and burning with chemical fire. even as it drifts through vacuum, decapitated and bleeding molten rock. in cosmic spite of being shot through each eye and hurled into a plasma reactor, it still radiates the power of the divine in a way that primitive death cannot smother. the nature of godchild is not so simple as to be tied to the mortality, or immortality, of any living being.

Oh I see so it's not that the person who made it was cultivating the strangest vibe possible for the grimace birthday playlist it's that they put every song ever on it

[grimeclown]

The word "faggot" appears in the lyrics on this playlist multiple times. Dead Kennedy's are on here.

[grimeclown]

I cannot. Stress. Enough. It is on the grimace birthday playlist.

[grimeclown]

IT IS ON. THE GRIMACE. BIRTHDAY PLAYLIST.

happy summer to dykes in tank tops and basketball shorts, goths who's makeup is melting, little kids catching frogs and fireflies, guys who just bring their guitar everywhere now, 13 yr olds very obviously in their emo phase during a family vacation, gas station employees, old people sitting on porches, and dogs swimming at the beach
