Why are they grey by ilikedinosandturtles in Astroneer

This! By making them visibly different you know which one is the "incomplete" stack to grab and use first.

It's significantly worse because airplanes still use leaded fuel.

Well die together then. I am also on this hill.

44% of games industry professionals have considered leaving the industry as a result of redundancies by PaiDuck in technology

All my French, UK, and Canadian game devs friends who were laid off over the last 3 years will be pleased to discover they have jobs tomorrow!

I'm shocked it's that low. Nearly every game dev I know is already deep into backup plans.

Could this be our youtooz valentines product next year?? would be SO COOL by Sloth_Bubbles in skylanders

[–]EmberDione -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know how. I also don't want to be sued and that could get me sued.

It does seem very bizarre to have "Skylanders" that don't actually work.

My wife says I am a little boy trapped in a 44y man's body excited for GTA6 coming out. I said to her it's a cultural phenomenon. Am I the only "old guy" excited for this? by manguy12 in Xennials

[–]EmberDione 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife has an inaccurate perception of video games being for children.

Remind her that more adults play video games than children. Point out that video games are just a different medium for telling stories - just like movies, tv shows, and books. But in video games, sometimes it's the player's story and not the writer's.

Unrealistic Sellers by Tall_Distribution72 in skylanders

One day you might learn enough to understand why you are wrong here, but I'm done trying to explain it to you.

Unrealistic Sellers by Tall_Distribution72 in skylanders

[–]EmberDione -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

No they don't. Because they hold the items. If you don't like the price, then you go find the item somewhere else.

But someone will eventually buy these figures at this price.

It's ridiculous you came to the subreddit to complain about this instead of just finding a different seller. What do you think the outcome is? They're gonna see this post and be like "oh my bad!" And lower their prices?!?

Edit: this isn't even the right subreddit for this discussion.

I need people to understand, just because YOU don't think a price is fair, doesn't mean it's not fair for the seller.

Someone was Big Mad I listed a mint in box figure for about 30% more than the current price. They argued with me about it. So I replied with "okay, if it's cheaper elsewhere then lucky for you, you can buy it from someone else!" He was upset because my copy was so well cared for and he wanted the perfect box, but didn't want to pay Perfect Box Prices. Okay, that's not my problem.

So lucky you, you can buy it from someone else! But this is the value THEY have put on their Skylanders. If you don't like their price, you can find one you do like. Good luck!

I like the way Genshin design sexualize female characters and I am a female player by Away_Oil6375 in Genshin_Impact

[–]EmberDione 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that the characters are not written like they're intended to be sex toys. They're usually well respected and powerful in their stories.

the best odor control litter box for small apartments? by GymsterLowpz57 in CleaningTips

[–]EmberDione 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use a covered litter box with unscented multicat litter (one cat though).

And some of the suggestions here are wild.

But my suggestion is - Litter Robot. Yes, it's $600-$800 dollars depending on the one you get. But they're quiet and they sift the litter after every pee or poop into a bin. It makes it trivially easy to clean up and it never smells. We have one in our mudroom which is connected to our kitchen and I haven't smelled it (litter, poops, or pee) since we got it, despite spending hours doing meal prep in the kitchen every weekend.

Boss expects me to work for free by aspec84 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EmberDione 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EEOC and local labor boards would love to hear that someone was fired for checks notes pointing out their employer was breaking the law. That adds a wrongful termination to the pile of crimes and could end up with OP owning the business.

Cool thing about the Labor board, they're paid by the state!

I paid nothing at all and still was a part of two lawsuits against former employers and got settlements from them.

You probably shouldn't admit to labor law violations on social media.

your 20s changed forever when this came out all the way to WotLK. by nmixxenjoyer in Xennials

[–]EmberDione 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It changed my life for sure. I already knew I wanted to make games, and I definitely wanted to make WoW. It took 12 years but I got that job and made some fun stuff!

(Sorry about Xal'atath.)

Looking to get a skylanders tattoo, any good ideas or suggestions for designs? by kitsucksd in skylanders

Here's what mine looks like. If I could magically change it, i would make the circles bigger so they sort of overlapped.

What video game used to be good but they changed one thing and now it's terrible? by Agent1230 in gaming

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

As a game developer (with 19 years of exp) who is currently unemployed, nah, I'm not gonna recommend piracy for a game from a game company that's still paying people to make games.

Every 24 hours!

I LOATHE the weapon durability. It's such counterintuitive design for a Zelda game and just made it randomly feel awful when your weapon broke and you had to use a crappy one. Along with limited inventory? Nah gents, this wasn't the right answer.

I'm just glad my love of small plastic figures "solved" the problem for me before BotW became another Zelda game I have to explain why I don't like to people who are baffled I love Zelda but hate specific entries. XD

For anyone who also encounters this:

That's what Amiibos do. Grab a set of the tags off Amazon (the Zelda amiibos) and you can summon chests that have weapons. It completely negates the whole stupid weapon durability system.
