That's a tornado.

En vrai on s'en fout, gagner une élection par les militants républicains, ça représente que dalle.

Le vrai scandale c'est que le mec est au gouvernement alors qu'il représente un parti qui a fait 8% aux dernières vraies élections nationales.

This certainly sounds the right way to do this.

But I really wonder about the stuff at bungie being "just" incompetence, because their defence is "weren't aware of this, just used assets left by a former Bungie employee that's not here anymore"... And yet the art director had been following the plagiarized artist on twitter this whole time.

And they have an history of "just taking" when they think they can get away with it, as they've done with fanart. So, shitty studio culture sounds a definite possibility at that point.

Placeholder doesn't need to be anything more than basic featureless textures on cubes, and you should own them completely. If you made your placeholder to look like it fits, you're asking for it to be forgotten and left in place. Which might not be too bad if it's finally not too out of place and it's yours.

Especially in a professional studio, they should know better than using stuff they just "found" as placeholder. To me it's either terrible incompetence... or worse, they thought nobody would care anyway.

Ouais, aux 2/3 avec 2 jours restants ça paraît compliqué.

Oh. That guy. Thanks for the reminder.

Important context for whatever he has to say, between the rants about teh woke gaem jernalizm and cancel culture, and being called out as an edgy harassing asshole by his own employees.

I guess there are some cultures, especially work cultures and those enforcing them, that I don't mind being "cancelled", if only it worked.

Dans un monde ou les questions de morale sont censées être complexes, y a des gens qui se sentent contractuellement obligés de se ranger du côté du mal.

Yeah, I guess for those wanting an exploit that was patched out it could be useful. That's not the use case I expect from the term "bad update" though.

I don't sell my games, so I see zero point in game key carts anyway. All I want is those to be identified so I know that if I want these particular games I don't buy the useless cart version.

Incidentally I absolutely never had to return to the base unpatched version of a game on Switch, and I have quite a few of them.

Uh. I was aware of Dinosaur Planet and how Nintendo had Rare rework it into a Star Fox game, but I had no idea that an almost complete beta version of it had been found.

It's lacking the ending and it was already on the way to starfoxization though it seems.

Those of us in Web3 gaming are well aware that things aren’t working

You can stop there. That's because so-called "web3 gaming" solves a problem that only exists in the mind of the dozen vocal idiots that want it to happen. And that problem is mostly "I don't really like video games, but I would play if that game was just about thinly veiled real money transactions instead".

I regularly see people angry at a game's price, whatever the price. Even when it's like a 20-30 bucks indie game. Often with absurdly specific game size/hours to $ ratios, that they use against other games of varying similarities.

Games are not a staple food. There's nothing wrong thinking, "that's not worth that much to me, I'm not buying it". There is something frankly ridiculous in the more and more frequent "that's not worth that much, company owes me that specific game at a lower price".

It's not like we're lacking options, either.
