- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 1 week ago:
Describing design problems and attributing them to “bad code” is part of the problem tbh. The issue in your example started long before any code was written.

- Comment on Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games 5 weeks ago:
As a long time Bethesda game fan I agree with you on almost everything you’ve said about Bethesda… But the remaster is a terrible example of your points.
The remaster does exactly what it says on the tin and they’ve been very upfront about how it was made and why it was made in the launch video.
It’s hard to criticise them for cashing in on nostalgia when they’ve shown time and time again with Skyrim re-releases that do a fraction of what the Oblivion remaster does still selling like hot cakes.
Nostalgia is at the core of their business model. That’s why they march Skyrim’s corpse out every two years like clockwork; that’s why they picked Fallout for a new franchise after ES; that’s, frankly, likely why Starfield sucks so much.

Hilarious question to ask at dinner parties with the right kind of crowd. It’s incredible watching people find out that their spouse stands.
Also, standers: represent!

Sure people have breaks, lunches … It’s not unusual to read news or social media during these times.

Is this the end of the metaverse?
I mean, it was DOA so I guess my question is more: is this Zuckerberg acknowledging that the metaverse is dead, finally?

There’s a reveal trailer and a launch trailer for Clair Obscura that give very different perspectives on the plot, well worth watching both.
Obligatory: thanks for all the daily posts!

- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 1 month ago:
Bingo. Everyone thinks it’s about retention but it’s not. Lifetime value of a user is a much more complicated than it was ten years ago when Silicon Valley was joking about DAU and such.
If you ever want to fuck your LTV for a company, just phone their customer services a few time and make sure you waste as much time as possible. Your value as a user will drop significantly as you plummet into negative value
- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 1 month ago:
You’re assuming that these approaches don’t work. As someone who has worked on shitty growth engineering projects for many years, I can tell you they do work very, very well.
I hear people say the same about ads: “why show ads when everyone hates them!”. They fucking work. Big biz doesn’t care about love or hate, it cares about profits.
