I work on video games and have way too many hobbies.
Yeah, 1-3 get most of the nostalgia love but imo 4-6 are just much better made games. 6 will always be my favorite.

Megaman 2 has some weird curve to the difficulty because of things like Metal Blade being broken. Megaman 3 tried to go harder I feel because of this and went overboard on top of being a very rushed game. After Megaman 3 though the rest of the NES games have a lot better balance and design.

Don't tell them that the Horus Heresy novels exist in universe and are based partially on old romance novels written about the time period, their heads might explode

The wiki part is the real problem. People don't read the actual lore and just go through the wiki and then get shocked when they realize that the actual lore is presented very differently.

I'm glad I try not to get involved with my hobby spaces online much these days.
Caught up with an ongoing book series this weekend and wanted to see what fan theories people had and immediately get hit with: "This series sucks, here's how I fixed the problems it has in my self published series"

But then again I've watched this play out dozens of times before with DnD and Magic. No matter how many amazing other games exist in the world people just keep flocking to WotC only to be let down over and over.

My studio can’t keep tech artists because they hire to be generalists and pay them crap.
I’ve had to do tech art work recently because were short handed but I’ve also been told to not let it affect my engineering tasks because “you’re paid too much to do tech art.”
