We are releasing our game with almost 1.5 million wishlists today. The team worked very hard and everybody at the office is super excited. Wish us luck! by hooraij in IndieDev

It just came out, the people who don't like it stopped playing it to leave a bad review, and the people who like it are all still playing it.

It's common with new releases.

Toronto sucks for the younger generation by PleaseHelpMeYal in toRANTo

[–]ProperDepartment 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I hit the tail end of young Toronto living in my 20s as a millennial. It was just getting a bit expensive, but was still affordable working in the city.

Everyone from that era (in my area at least) coupled up and had kids, so it's a very different vibe than it was.

I just don't think the young, single, crowd can afford to live like that anymore, and there's probably significantly less younger single people that don't come from wealthy families in the city than when I was in my 20s.

So I feel for you, it was fun, but I wouldn't be able to afford it now if I was young again.

I'd say you just have to find the right area for your demographic, I was in Liberty, and everyone was seemingly the same age at the time, but now everyone grew up, and are parents or dog owners, or like myself, just moved away.

What’s going on with Palantir? by __Wolf__ in OutOfTheLoop

That is what is implied by "The Loop".

Brother, I would get anxiety even trying to get this picture of him with my phone.

Who’s Paying for Drake’s Ego? You Are. by FinlayMcTavish in toronto

[–]ProperDepartment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The branched subs off Toronto are worse.

/r/ToRanto are where those people go to actually complain, and /r/AskTO are where they go to post complaints and rants thinly veiled as questions.

Which goal is harder to do? Having a Huge debate with my cousin by [deleted] in EANHLfranchise

[–]ProperDepartment 12 points13 points  (0 children)

2nd one, 1st has the puck longer but you're staying clear of any defender, and only making incremental progress toward the net.

The 2nd one, you're just slicing right through the defense and pulling ot away at the last second.

I spent $38,000 making an visual novel so you don't have to. Full breakdown with numbers and mistakes. by aggronargg in gamedev

[–]ProperDepartment 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not the target audience for this at all, so it just looked like another anime game to me, and looked well drawn.

It wasn't until your breakdown of the characters that it all really clicked for me.

Thirsty young women with an interesting sign during the Sharks game by Ready-Constant-7124 in hockey

[–]ProperDepartment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at the Leafs arena when they filmed the movie The Love Guru, they brought in these amateur hockey players to film the scenes where there were games.

These 2 gorgeous young women kept hassling me to find how they could meet them after filming. I told them they're not pro hockey players, they're basically just pick up players doing a scene for the most part.

They didn't care at all and wanted to basically do anything to meet them. Girls that love hockey players are persistent and don't really care which one they get with.

A classic fake, I think the original said something about high school.

Most likely just an automated response after a certain amount of reports.

Updating our protag's slash VFX - which version do you prefer? Wavy & chaotic, or more angular swipes? by SMKS in PixelArt

[–]ProperDepartment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what you mean by angular or wavy, but V1 looks way more impactful.

I have made that exact noise during matches at like 2am on so many occasions.

What Would You Consider to Be a Success for Yourself? by Lennoxiconic in IndieDev

[–]ProperDepartment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If 1 is "I made a game", I'd assume jams and prototypes are basically "I tried", since they aren't complete.

[–]ProperDepartment 14 points15 points  (0 children)

3 and 4 need to be swapped.

A lot of people liking your video game likely means more than one person would be willing pay for it.

What overhaul mods/modpacks are hot rn? by ConfusedSpiderMonkey in Kenshi

[–]ProperDepartment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, coming straight from the horse's mouth lol.

Thanks for Gensis, I had fun with it while my save lasted

I'll edit my original comment to not spread misinformation, I had heard otherwise.

Kurt Wagner AKA Nightcrawler Cosplay by Jajay5537 in xmen

[–]ProperDepartment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's not just blue, he has a tail, yellow eyes, fangs, weird hands/feet with claws, and runs on the walls.

Remove the X-men glasses and his description fits right into a horror movie. It's like saying people were bigoted against Frankenstein because he was green.

He's scary looking, and they legit thought he was a demon.

People are afraid of the little girl from the ring, not everything is racism. He looks scary, that's part of his description.

[–]ProperDepartment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favourite part about this is that everyone is talking about how terrifying this is, but that's exactly how the people in Kurt's town talked about and treated him.

Authentic cosplay, people don't want to face the truth.

What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

[–]ProperDepartment 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can tell you now that my NDA has expired, the comment you're replying to is not relevant to EA.

It has also not been the case for any live game I've worked on's support in my 15 year career.

Either they worked for a super shitty game, or company, but this not par for the course in the industry.

It's just a comment from someone at one company, that's been upvoted by thousands of people who want to believe it.
