@Xibanya I find this all very relatable, and maybe I'll tell you about it, someday.
@sinbad Wooo! Oh man. So glad you found it. It's soooo good.
@glassbottommeg I need to be able to sip coffee, mouse, and type at the same time.
@fuzzybinary Honestly, they were doomed the moment Riccitiello took the reins. I'm stuck with Unity, because I have a lot of shipped products I'm maintaining on that tech, but the whole situation is filling me with despair.
@sinbad Dragon Age 2 has a bit of this, interspersed with everything else.
@sinbad I like the romance options in some games, but I actively avoided them in Mass Effect, because WTF, these people are your direct reports! Not OK!
Sometimes, I go look at what the gamepad controls are like on the industry leader in a given genre I'm working on, so I can be consistent with what people are familiar with, and they're honestly so bad that I just end up doing my own thing, anyway.
Trying to merge refactored code is like O. Henry’s "The Gift of the Magi,” only without any love to console you.
@mcc I am cooking dinner at 11:39 PM and relate to this statement so much.
@lum If you die in this game, do you respawn in a sealed cave?
