I'm going to wind up going down a film/TV production rabbit hole. The switch from 4:3 to 16:9 for television shows has got to be a landmark in media history. I'm not a camera buff or studied up on shooting techniques, but the differences, and the impact of those differences are abundantly clear.

I'm getting a bit closer to creating art for the sake of it. Let's see if that goes anywhere. It is marginally more interesting than dying.

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.
Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

Because of their slow release model, it seemed clear that they were going to bank on the game's growth in year 2 or 3 of its full release. Having a large roster, a ton of skins, and a good chunk of time to refine the competitive aspects just made sense. This is throwing all that out the window.

The slow rollout of this game over several years dramatically lowered hype for the game. The small roster doesn't appeal to LoL fans or the general public. What it had going for it over everything else was the dev team. Whatever it would've grown into dies with those jobs.
Riot spent a decade developing a fighting game then laid off around 80 developers less than one month after release:

- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
