I think that's fair, and the whole talk goes into what that means without making them seem stupid or unlikeable

Like, I watched the talk. I think I'm somewhat in a position to provide context? I didn't even like the whole talk, I have points I'd like to make about it, eventually. Sorry I tried to do a nuance on the internet I guess.

You're critiquing, out of context, a single slide of a 45 minute presentation which spent most of its length going into some detail on every point on the screen.

I think in the context of the full talk "bad decisions" was just a kind of fun way to say something broader. Like it doesn't have to be their fault that the decision doesn't pan out, it can be for a number of reasons. I think "make decisions which lead to unexpected outcomes" is perhaps closer

I have been going back and forth over returning tomorrow because I've been up to so much lately that doing nothing sounds honestly amazing... but also I feel I have Unfinished Business that must be resolved, like a ghost who mainly haunts game dev hangouts.

So I've decided neither of these work. It's a puzzle strategy game about figuring out how to make the number going up, in a team eSports wrapper

It's arguably more like a clicker in that you are queuing up into matches over and over and the matches themselves have stuff going on but are essentially non interactive, but then there's almost always stuff to do in between those matches, so it's not that kind of thing either

If I've sometimes suspected games of having good actors who weren't given proper direction then I have basically 0% trust that someone writing a prompt is going to get it.

Yeah voice direction I've always thought a hugely underappreciated skill too Which I think massively contributes to making it all work

To me that's whole new depths of not caring. No respect for the artists and no pride in their own work either
