Wait they never did this? I assumed it had and I just never played it because my last AC was brotherhood. Even the very early games had some of this!

I see a lot of gamedevs out there begging for feedback on their projects and I just wanna say to all of you: Remember, these are the kind of people you're getting public feedback from.

We're nearly to 3K cards banned! Recently we've taken a crack at tutors and made for commander 5 color Legendaries. Despite it's population, Diabolic Tutor made the cut! You can probably guess what didn't, but here's a crowd pleaser.

With love for the UE5 posts from @erikrobson.net I add to the list how there's no for loop node for maps in blueprint even though it's perfectly common in C++!
I know I can just write a simple little macro for it to do the same thing but still! I know you can do this Epic!

I made a better version of the original that adds the rule of 'only ingredients indigenous to this area. I think it's a mot more interesting to have a mix of continent peices rather than ethnographic segregation

Necessary Reading for this video includes the Contrapoints anti-anti-zionist reddit post. Lest you think Lindsay Ellis actually supports doing anything about the genocide of Palestinians. People like her only want to feel good about themselves and hear the president go "We're looking into this."

LOL I was just talking with a buddy the other day about Stormgate and what a shitshow it is, a day later I see it's come out on steam and had an AI disclosure. I was maybe willing to give it another shot when the game actually came out. I sure as hell have NO interest at all now. $40mil for this BTW

A fascinating branch of the ' solodev exploitation machine' As I like to call it. Botnets, scammers, trolls, trying to essentially catfish people vulnerable to quickbuck scams. That's why you get so many cold call discord messages of accounts pretending to be smol bean artists or w/e #gamedev

Coke rocks, I dont give a shit if people in a lab environment think Pepsi tastes better, I think Pepsi is disgusting, and judging by cultural osmosis most people seem to agree. Something can be preferable without it being backed up by a test audience. No good movie was made in a test screening
