the zoot suit Samus meme is interesting because Tom & Jerry's Hep Kats (1943) is really the first "metroidvania." The early route into the girl's house is closed off, so Tom has to collect pieces of more powerful gear and then backtrack. I am making this post specifically to piss off 2-3 game devs.

Don't just listen to players. If given the option, they'll optimize the game out of their games, and the story out of their stories. It's our job to filter information and data and feedback into good work, and while we'll sometimes miss it's better than blindly following surveys.
I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi.
Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes.

'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.

This industry is falling into deeper pits of stagnation because even if you make *Marvel Overwatch* and have it blow up as well as it could possibly have asked for, people lose their livelihoods. Institutional knowledge can't exist under those circumstances. Nothing can grow or be built upon.

REMINDER: In the UK it's illegal to blanket force return-to-office mandates on disabled staff who need to work from home for accessibility reasons. There is a legal duty for reasonable adjustment that takes precedence over C-suite whims.

"spoink" doesn't feel like a legit pokemon to me. it feels like something you'd see in a romhack made by a teenager. it looks like it came from a set of bootleg stickers. it should be on a slightly odd holographic card that your aunt got for you while abroad. i don't say any of this disparagingly
