I think it is a bit of an unclear wording personally. “Made with”, despite technically meaning what you’re saying, is often colloquially used to mean “fully created by”. I don’t mind the AI tag, but I do see the photographers point about it implying wholesale generation instead of touchups.

Are you my cat?

Those all seem like good ones to me, too. Honestly the defensive juggernaut thing doesn’t really exist period in GW2, so I guess it’s by design. At least not compared to other RPGs. Everyone is quite squishy.

You’ve made me realize that a mesmer fantasy I miss from GW1 is a domination magic mesmer. Something that heavily punishes certain types of gameplay and doesn’t do the illusion thing. Is that what you were getting at with the mesmer part?

I wonder if they would ever consider adding new specs to only some classes instead of all at once. On one hand people would definitely rage and whine, but I could imagine that making for much better designed specs over time.

I’m curious, what kind of niches do you see unfilled still? I already felt like some of the gen 3 specs were reaching a bit.

It felt like they wanted to focus on features more in this one. There was a lot to unpack I think for those who like to go through and theory craft.

I do agree that the ones you mention were much better cinematically though.

Definitely check out the myst remake, as it has modern movement available (and it’s gorgeous). These two games are basically puzzle game masterpieces and remembered so fondly for a reason. Hope you enjoy them. 🙂

I’m a designer and there’s some truth to this. Sometimes it’s a great new partnership, but sometimes it’s too many cooks in the kitchen if there’s no clear vision holder.

Mobile games make more money than the entire rest of the gaming sector combined.

I believe that’s called perfectionism and imposter syndrome. Just remember it’s a story in your head and don’t give it more credence than it deserves.

Would there be any interest (or does it already exist) for a community dedicated to indie shoutouts? I picture somewhere specifically for fans and devs to call attention to good games without marketing budgets or their own work in the case of devs.

“Damn, look at the tail on that one!”

…said no one ever.

They claim it all runs locally. Anyone want to turn the Internet off and call their bluff?

Crossstitch it, put it on the wall

There’s a ton of Scandinavian influence in western Washington state where I’m from. I think you’d feel pretty at home. 🙂

I don’t have any specific recommendations but I’m from the Pacific Northwest and it’s really interesting to me to see a post like this. Are you from there too?

Generally publishers handle storefront and distribution

Shitty corporate backed agency supports corpos. More news at 11.

No shit. Going to the hospital is important to me but I wish I didn’t have to do that, too.

This game literally gave me a mind altering experience. The point at the end as you walk towards the light, I started to be unsure if I was controlling the character anymore or not, and it was actually quite dissociating like a psychedelic experience (I was sober at the time for the record). Truly incredible moment that no other game has pulled off.
