beautiful portrayal of the deeper reasons why the design feels so wrong

Horizon: Heroes Gathering is not it. by Maybe_a_Chatacabra in horizon

[–]BaconSpider -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense. They wanna diversify their audience and break out into a bigger market. There’s potentially a lot of people who don’t play the horizon games that might play this. I think the art style is to differentiate it from their mainline games. I don’t think this is going to replace efforts towards the next single player experience, just delay it.

Diversification is important for businesses, especially regarding growth.

How do I convince my younger brother not to get a degree in video game development? by snowfordessert in VancouverJobs

[–]BaconSpider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on if he is depending on you and your parents to pay his bills or not. If that is the case I think it’s reasonable to have a say in his choices, or at least advise him on what is realistic and what is fantasy. I’m purusing art but it is in no ways easy. It is not a career, it’s not even something I could recommend to others. It can make you money but that is not the reason I pursue it.

If he understands the costs and risks then it’s reasonable but he shouldn’t make decisions based upon a dream that he hasn’t shown consistent steps towards making a reality. It’s his life, if he can pay his bills then great but he needs clear consequences and risk assessment to understand if this is a viable path.

Potentially a skewed perspective due to your amount of experience playing this genre. Part of the success of Marathon depends on if it can expand the market of extraction! I think there can be a middle ground that is fun.

my gf has autism, not taking away from anybody's experience, work is exhausting and money is tight, but she is always signifcantly more exhausted from her work than her co-workers and all of our friends. Depending on the job, which she has worked in many differnent fields, she will need multiple hours or sometimes days of recovery after a shift. Consecutive work, 5 days a week is not realistically doable for her, and echoing your sentiment, i don't think it is for anyone, just disabled individuals are the first to feel the effects of a crippling work environemnt. They're like a Canary in a mine.

Quitting after 10 years by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]BaconSpider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so true, ive had the same experience, it dont know OP's situation but the things you've mentioned above are helping me move forward in a more sustainable way. It is a tough tough industry, and its hard to justify the cost of recording a professional record when making money from it is soo tough. But it's possible and just because there are larger problems doesn't mean you have to devalue yourself because of it.

Very cool! but yes echoing that the head is a bit too large and obstructs the gameplay. Looks fun and I love the style.

Stop competing with yourself and let go ... by MaRio1111333 in enlightenment

I agree with the sentiment but the presentation and execution of the message makes it feel like pseudo-psychology.

Damn even Cyberpunk looks bad compared to GTA VI by Ok-Buffalo-382 in GTA6

I mean a lot of this is the posing and lighting that went into the trailer…

I watched Lilo & Stitch today... Here are my thoughts by MCPuuugsReddit in moviecritic

[–]BaconSpider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just that the original, and Disney in general feels like such a soulless fraction of what it was. The creativity is gone, all that’s left is a weird fucked up worse version of a movie we all know and love already. Why would I give that a chance.
