This felt like a 2 part comic without the 2nd half

Started playing LoZ Oracle of Seasons. I never played the oracle games and so far they’re great. Never realized how much I like the GB Zelda games.

Afterwards I think I’m gonna revisit the Golden Sun games.

I am a sucker for time loop games. Looking forward to seeing progress.

Or pikablu by fighting the elite 4 50 times without healing

Yeah it’s why at later jobs I advocate for complexity points and don’t do consulting anymore.

Tying money to hours spent on a task just encourages all the wrong behavior.

I just don’t work at places that do time tracking like that anymore.

My favorite was getting reamed because you put 30 minutes over the estimated hours on a task.

It made task accounting a nightmare as you’d have to dump hours onto unrelated task whenever something inevitably took longer than expected.

I agree about Xenoblade 2. I played for 10-20 hours and had to drop it. At some point I would find a horde of enemies and go “dear God not ANOTHER fight” and just start running.

I didn’t realize they took away the apex coin option. That sucks.

I used to top up to unlock the next pass and bridge the gap when I play casually with friends.

Not sure I’m gonna be paying anymore towards this.

People that advocate for presentation naming haven’t endured a major company rebrand.

Case of the golden idol is such a stellar game.

I figured out the twist pretty quickly but it’s excellent how they build it up.

Waterfall is missing the part where the customer realizes they didn’t actually want to go to Mars they just wanted to view it out of a telescope.

But now they can only travel to Mars and the telescope is out of the budget because you spent so much money on the rocket

10 years ago it was copy/pasting from stack overflow

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever heard that term before in my life and I’ve been doing this for a while.

And I don’t think I ever wanna hear it again.

Wut?

This is purely because Twitter changed their pricing structure to charge out the nose for API calls so Nintendo and other don’t wanna pay big money for a worthless feature.

And procedurally generated environments

A lot of their 2.5 D games are actually pretty damn good.

I had a lot of fun with Triangle Strategy and I heard a lot of good things about Octopath 2

No Starch Press usually does good stuff.

No Starch, Manning, and O’Reilly are my go to publishers for tech books.

I try to avoid Packt like the plague.

“We’re making something new and don’t have high hopes for it. Just don’t even bother”

Isn’t System Shock Bioshock in Space?
