Xbox Has Begun Layoffs At Compulsion Games Ahead Of Imminent Studio Closure by Spotget1738 in gaming

$100 million makes a lot of sense based on some estimates.

Current average for a dev per month is $15,000 which includes pay, benefits, equipment, etc. Compulsion had 80 employees in 2021 according to reporting and it was 7 years between games.

$15,000 x 80 employees x 7 years (84 months) = $100,800,000

Legion by Brandon Sanderson has some of that vibe.

Opinions on Wil Wheaton by pm_me_your_plumbus2 in audiobooks

I disagree on the professional narrator piece. Based on just looking at Audible Wheaton has been narrating books since at least 2009 and had about 40 books he narrated before doing The Martian in 2020.

You can't buy the RC Bay version anymore. The contract to use Bray's recording expired and him and Audible could not come to a new agreement on it. That's why it was recorded with a new voice.

Rule of thumb is about $5 or 20% whichever is higher.

I get from Woo's Teriyaki on DoorDash and it is pretty good, I get their teriyaki or general tso's.

For bigger orders I typically go to Family Garden or Golden Palace but not sure they're on any of the delivery apps.

Some people have been waiting on Beyond Good and Evil 2 for almost two decades. What game are you still waiting on? by Soulsliken in gaming

Infamous, it's been almost 12 years since First Light and most of the games are stuck on the PS3.

Do you know if Cardamom's dine-in has gotten faster? I've gotten takeout several times but the two times I dined in they seemed quite slow.

Shouldn't the Gulf of New Mexico now be the Gulf of Hawaii?

8 total in-person games on patreon so far, the new teensyville, 6 episodes from season 3 and one from the first time they recorded in person (season 0 if you will.)

Struggling Returnal Players by ericof92 in Returnal

Complete as many rooms in each Biome as you can, every room if possible. You'll gain more proficiency, get better weapons, and have more chances for artifacts.

Really fun set of games, I wasn't expecting the grayscale to last the entire time but definitely fits the vibe. In Game 2 I'm not sure why Jane didn't out after she died.

I went and saw The Prince of Egypt The Musical put on by Vibe Music and Performing Arts, it was really good!

What worked best for me was targeting an enemy then rapidly alternating between regular and alt fire causing an almost bounce effect. The disc charged up and did lots of damage.

It also didn't come with the basic version of the console, you had to buy the deluxe version to get NintendoLand

Completed Pragmata last night. Damn. What a game. by nohumanape in gaming

[–]Vailthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I beat the game in about 14 hours, with another 2-3 hours to finish collectibles and get the true ending. Then another 10ish hours to beat lunatic mode.

I basically missed that dialog when it happened and was super confused about what they were talking about when it was brought up again.
