Re: the newest Scherier article
The main takeaway I want everyone to get is that EA and BW wanted the DAV devs to magically move mountains after EA/BW made bad decisions, and parts of the fandom/general public decided the best course of action was to verbally abuse the devs! Way to go kids!

If I read/hear "Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a good game but not a Dragon Age game", I'm going to scream and it won't be pleasant.

The Road to Summerfall - Part 2
I guess the best place to start is with leaving BioWare. Right off the bat, I'll say I enjoyed working there - a lot. Until I didn't. I started in 1999 with BG2 and ended in 2016, 2 years after shipping DAI and after spending a year on the game which became Anthem.

Saw this posted to reddit, but look! Someone made an interactable map of all the locations in DAV! Along with chests, it also lists notes, small chests, potions, anything you can think of!
Location spoilers, so best for after your first play through, but really neat!

I think I will take time off bsky.
Deleting the app for a few days.
I really can't deal with all of this for now.
To watch the architects of the soul of something that quite literally saved me in my darkest time, being throw away like they meant nothing... It's too much.

Reposting for any of my dev friends to nominate their leaders/coworkers that really make a difference. I sent in a few nominations of my own already.
The Game Dev Heroes nominations are officially open!
Make sure to nominate the peers who have made a difference this past year.
These awards mean so much to people & with how difficult a year it has been for so many of us, ceremonies like this can help bring light to dark times.

People should probably learn the difference between “plot holes” and “things I didn’t like” or “things the franchise plans to explain in the future” or “things film makers didn’t think they needed to explicitly explain because they thought you had critical thinking skills”.

If you dislike something or it makes you uncomfortable, that’s okay! But you don’t need to let the creator know. You don’t need to let anyone know, honestly. You can just ignore it and move on with your life. Fandom is about enjoying the things you like, not bashing the things you hate.
I woke up in the night thinking about this & will forget if I don't wing it into the universe right now, so...
what are some etiquette tips you'd give to someone new to fandom spaces?
