I mean TGAs are bullshit anyway (I'm still convinced Game Science bought their GOTY nomination), but this is just extra bullshit

1 game should not dominate a category? Either expand the number of nominees, or split into more categories?

"Western audiences only care about animation if its for kids!" is an assumption that needs to die already

look at how western audiences turned out for the cinema screenings of Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man!! Anime is no longer niche, its goddamn mainstream now

Ok decision was - bite the bullet on the CPU, wait a bit more on the GPU

Because... i can just shove my old GPU into a new PC if need be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Im only looking for "slightly better than it" anyway

Literally, twitter wont show you anything in chronological order. Im assuming "Most popular first", which is totally useless for me finding out anything from a business

instagram wont even let you look at posts unless youre logged in, just a jankily cropped preview

I have to turn the game off now because it's no-video-games hours and I don't want to have the game off

I want to be playing it, damn it

A better place holder for a loading screen would be stick figures standing where you want them in the final art. You will NEVER mistake that for the final art

But that's not the point. The point was "we were told to put slop in from higher up, so here's slop"

Because when you're testing something, you're going to look at it hundreds of times. You start to go blind if the assets LOOK final, but actually aren't

Someone will forget to replace the placeholders. And then you ship with placeholders. And then players notice it straight away.

There's a reason you don't use anything in English as place holder text, because you glance at it and think "yup that's right". You use lorem ipsum instead

Placeholder textures are bright, obnoxious and clashing. Or straight up red xs

The point is always to be obvious
