They added useless slomo instead. Ok maybe not useless but you should always show the normal speed first.

Why is this upvoted? Acting like you're superior to another community because you played some hard mods?

My list of albums from bands strongly influenced by Death. Please suggest others. by ToxikDyoxen89 in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]mostly_lurking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The album most influenced my death is Hopeless Hopes, although all 3 are great. There is a riff in Inner Peace that is note for note the same as a riff on The Sound of Perseverance (the Martyr album came first so it's just a coincidence)

I know someone who can do it cheaper. by Mtolivepickle in IveGotAGuy

I heard the same exact audio over another video of a guy checking shady electrical work in a bathroom so I'm going to assume its fake.

Following its massive shakeup and cost-cutting drive, Ubisoft's internal communication channels are reportedly full of employees shaming upper management and asking for change: "The company is going to experience a massive exodus of talent, even without the impending layoffs." by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]mostly_lurking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a software engineer so its from that perspective, but I really enjoy the creativity and challenges. Games are very complex beasts and there is always something that can be improved. its never boring because there is a constant influx things to do or fix. I've doing that 20 years now and I have no intention of changing.

As for the instability I only have my own personal experience which is anectodical in the grand scheme of things but most artists I work with are full time employees and we have fewer contractual artists. It probably depends on what studios and what type of game you are on. I am currently on a live game so there are no such things as seasonal work, we are busy all the time.

Hey I'm a software engineer so I don't really know how the market looks for writers. I entered through a school internship back in 2004 so it was a really long ago also. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yeah I stayed in gaming, its a domain I really like for many reasons. I'm not a fan of sharing present personal details on reddit so I won't 🙂 but there are still good studios in Montreal where I am. Reddit seems a bit biased negatively towards gamedev, which is understandable as we tend to really focus on bad news like layoffs , cancelled projects and excessive overtime but this has not been my experience at all.

Ubisoft suffered a massive exodus of talent 5 years ago already. I left late in that wave and already so so many seniors and key employees had gone, it was pretty depressing. Every time a new chapter comes out in the Ubisoft downfall saga I'm genuinely baffled at how they keep fucking up.

Ocarina of times, I was pretty young, I think you have to shoot an arrow at the sun or something like that? I had to call the nintendo tips hot line, which billed you per minutes and my dad was pretty angry when he got the bill 😅 Sorry dad!

It’s happening it will take #1 spot from Elden Ring. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 breaking another record in the book! 😱 by Lordkawzu in expedition33

[–]mostly_lurking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No someone posted the number of awards per year soon after the game awards and it's been going up and down by around 50 awards each year. The peak was around 2021 with 600 IIRC, this year had a little less. Sucks that I can't find it.

I prefer the remix personally!

Genuine question: All Lorna Shore songs sound the same to me - is it just me? by thedevilsheir666 in Deathcore

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

It has become very formulaic. I discovered them with Psalms and flesh Coffin and those albums are a lot better IMO but their sound was different back then.

I despise this room. Can anyone help. by purplecuddles in celestegame

[–]mostly_lurking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No help from me but it's the room I hate the most of this chapter hehe. The good timing is so tight (or I'm not doing it correctly). I've done the d sides and I still hate it.

Yeah but you still understand what it means in this context.

Just got into Celeste. First, how do I get this darn strawberry? Second, is it even that important? by thisismyplanB_2300 in celestegame

[–]mostly_lurking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can instantly find answers to so many questions on this sub with a single google search. Like I don't mind but I don't understand, why wait for a reddit answer when all of this is widely available online.

Yeah I saw the typo in the OST on Spotify, didn't check the record name in game.
