Leading any team primarily means Big Spreadsheet. All serious project management tools try, and usually fail, to compete with Big Spreadsheet.
I described that despite popular belief, the reality of being a Lead Writer isn't as much "does most of the writing" as it is "Big Spreadsheet ™️" and lemme tell ya I am feeling Big Spreadsheet this morning

Lots of welcome QoL stuff in the remaster, and it has some of Squeneix's least fugly remake fonts, but the upscaled graphics are a strict downgrade IMO.

Sumerian (c. 4500-1900 BC), and it features a dog:
"A dog walked into a tavern and said, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one!"

Lots of people still genuinely struggling with this, and/or pretending to struggle with it.
“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.
