The things I specialize in wrt work are an eclectic mix.
I honestly thought I was doing something wrong until last night, when I saw a job profile that literally described everything I can do down to the t.

Why does 'finding the fun' fail so often as a design strategy?
#gamedesign
New designers are told to prototype and 'find the fun'. But the naive version of this is a garbage tactic that mostly results in poorly thought out prototypes that are never going to converge on gameplay.

I don't know ow why, but I dreamt that I was working on a mobile game tie-in to the new Linkin Park album.
Weirder still, it was 3 different kart racing style games whose rewards fed into the other.

All this news about Riot 'wasting' $250 Mil. to produce Arcane feels like the wrong angle.
This is a studio's first venture into animation. Mistakes are natural and to be expected. The next iteration will go smoother.
Moreover, the results speak for themselves. (contd.)

I'm watching my wife play Veilguard, and the writing and delivery of dialogue feels like amateur hour.
Especially after having had Rpgs that do so much better.
I feel like I'm not the audience for this game, at all.
