Probably Enter the Gungeon, since it’s actually rendered in 3D even though it has a 2D presentation.

A lack of adequate planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

Gotta make that line go up TODAY

Making it go up tomorrow is the next guy’s problem

This was a surprise to me, too. I naturally assumed the author was referencing Phantom Liberty because, y’know… it’s fucking excellent.

What a shit measure. A key idea is to fail fast and fail often, as this leads to faster growth through more frequent (re)assessment.

SW companies only care about profit. If failure rate is 268% higher but profit is simultaneously 10% higher, then Agile is the better choice.

FTFY

Starfield can’t be fixed. The game’s issues are rooted in its core - procedurally generated maps, zero-consequence writing, forgettable gunplay. They could fix stuff like base building, giving it an actual purpose, for example. But in order to make exploration and role playing interesting/fun they’d have to effective make a whole new game.

For a median salary of $112k/yr. Just sayin’.

A boomerang is a short video that runs forwards, then backwards, then repeats. The post was already a boomerang, so you just needed to click share.

Great review. This echoes my feelings as well.

Loop Hero feels like it’s on the precipice of being good, but the path to success with the gameplay loop is pretty hard to sus out. You do stuff, and it seems like you’re getting the pieces needed to progress, but then the game doesn’t really change at all.

Agreed that it’s fun in bursts. Worth playing for 10-20 min every few days. This isn’t like Enter the Gungeon or Slay the Spire, where you feel like you always need just one more run.

The absolute worst is when you want to go home and play video games, but you only have time to do the bare minimum chores required for continued existence and then sleep.

Backlog isn’t sexy. Management wants sexy. Nobody’s boss wants to hear about how the DB schema was improved - they want to see some new, flashy widget.

And the whole product line suffers because of it.
