NEW VIDEO! To me, the best satire helps us envision a better world. Grand Theft Auto, as made by a Rockstar that treats its workers as terribly as it has done, says this is as good as it gets. Here's a video discussing why I've personally had enough of that.
Enjoy! Shares appreciated!

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

I can work in Unreal, Unity, and probably whatever in-house engine you'll throw at me. I have worked on DLC for Sniper Elite 5, various community mod projects, and custom maps for TF2 and Half-Life 2.

Time for one of those show-and-tell threads!
Today, share a game (with link and thoughts) that you never expected to enjoy, let alone love. Something that just completely blindsided you.
After disliking Star Ocean 3-5 (the only ones I'd played) I loved SO6, despite some rough edges & bland art.

I picked up Dungeon Drafters on a lark, figuring it'd be a throw-away deck-builder... and instead I spent nearly 100 hours on it last year, delved through the depths of the steam forums, spent many more hours thinking up decks(and have yet to exhaust it)

I picked Lee Sang-Il's phenomenal 2016 drama Rage(怒り) for film club next month, and ended up rewatching it twice this week...and I already have 4 pages of discussion notes....on the subtitle translation alone....

-Pubs/devs don't always respond to emails from excited writers
-Editors can't always afford to pay for reviews/features
