Audio (sound effects, music, and dialogue) has a weird relationship with temp assets, mostly because of issues revolving around human psychology.
Problem #1: How do you communicate that something you're hearing is temp?

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

I just wanna say as a dude Going Through Some Shit right now this is an incredibly irresponsible thing to post that makes me feel even shittier than I already do. Feeds into every scrap of self loathing I carry with me and functionally is indifferentiable from the worst voices in my own head.

“They were not just tasked with defeating a Republican. They were also tasked with defeating the old guard of the Democratic Party that essentially led us to many of the perils of this moment.”
AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

the fucked up thing about playing kingdom hearts with the modern re-releases is that enemies only have the final mix colour schemes and they're so much worse across the board. regular trickmaster in kh1 looks so much cooler than its final mix version
left = original / right = final mix

I’m not a “you must play every game” person by a long shot, but if you’ve never played a game with a story you loved or a story-from-systems narrative that struck you, idk, you probably haven’t played enough varied games

Fun fact: at some point several people’s names were patched OUT of Destiny 2’s credits. People who worked on that game and were credited accordingly, were, for some reason, subsequently removed.
Video game credits are atrocious.

Everyone’s free to do what they like and not watch what they don’t want to, but am I the only one who thinks not supporting creative work because the fandom is shitty is…stupid?
I’ll just *never* understand the mindset that throws aside a piece of work bc of actions by people not DOING the work.

Not gonna support KOG, the fandom just turned out to be toxic and it is TOH fandom 2.0, besides I'm sick of seeing the Disney haters saying that this show is a "revenge" on Disney while Dana said that she love to work there, the only thing that she's against it's the censor of the Lumity kiss 😑😑

The gall to expect the nation to mourn a man who happened to suffer the price he demanded other people pay for the policies he supported is quite something.
He didn't care when any of us normal people were killed in this exact same manner.

I know most of these people voted the way they did because they fear change, but if a chain restaurant is your culture, then you have no culture.
Referring to a mediocre breakfast restaurant as your culture and heritage is one of the whitest things I've ever read.

Thread. They're correct as far as they go. I go a bit further, but not in any way that's worth burning your time with. To me it was just a generic corporate branding change: companies make weird choices to simplify their logos all the time, why get bent out of shape about this one?
1. I was not planning to write about Cracker Barrel’s new logo. Neither was I planning to write about the voluminous rightwing backlash against it. The redesign doesn’t look “woke” to me. But change is hard for some, especially rightwingers who see danger everywhere.
