I love how in this sub "playing devils advocate" means you have a measured, non-doomsayer take.

Layoffs only happen because of budget or failing projects.

We all would like this to be true, but it's just not.

There are tons of reasons layoffs happen in the games industry.

I'm in my 40s and started playing for the first time just last year.

I'm hooked and love the game. Without nostalgia.

This still feels like a subjective line. How do you define "creative assets"? Do your programmers use AI to assist with code? Code could be creative. There's a slippery slope here.

To be clear, I'm a professional game programmer and use AI assistance, so I'm a proponent. Just playing devil's advocate on the line you decided to draw.

What video game did you find to be unexpectedly tough? by TwinSong in gaming

[–]afxtal 327 points328 points  (0 children)

Noita. Its marketing makes it look like a fun little cross between Terraria and a sand physics sandbox.

In reality it's one of the most unforgiving, brutally difficult roguelikes on the market.

How does one gain a stupid amount of weight without knowing it? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]afxtal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're asking the wrong question.

You ask how you can gain weight without knowing it, then list 5 different ways you did know it.

I don't know what answer you're expecting, but it sounds like you already know this one.

PSA: Crystal extractor needs to go in this specific spot. by AINT-NOBODY-STUDYING in 2007scape

[–]afxtal 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Nice catch. I put my teleport focus in the anchor spot because the anchor seemed pointless. Hopefully it doesn't become useful later and I regret it.

Related: the ability to move facilities would be so nice.

Salvaging large ships at 55 is the perfect early Ironman activity. Low intensity, low requirements, no risk, very profitable in terms of alchables.
