Had a chance to ask @ImKeithDavid what his advice for me was in regards to pursuing voice over work. His response:
"Nurture your own uniqueness"
A short exchange, much appreciated.
I've been itching to get back into the content game for a while now. Life has been one brick wall after another for the past 8 months, but I'm so close to the next chapter, and I couldn't be more excited about it.
A reminder for those laughing at this: people with families lost jobs in attempting to bring a creative vision to the world, hoping that players would love it.
Everything is worthy of criticism to varying degrees, but it's sad to see people be happy when livelihoods are impacted
#FalloutSeason1 walked so that #FalloutSeason2 could run. Easily the BEST video game adaptation we've ever received in live action. Looking forward to future seasons
I'm still very new into the world of game design, but the comments on this video seem off to me.
It's not clear to me that "more content" is the answer to making the game enjoyable for you again. I think people dramatically underestimate how much this update will shake up combat
@MartyTheElder Two things can be true at the same time. Yes, interference is a factor, and at the same time, when innocent people die under circumstances like Alex Pretti did, demanding accountability is important in the face of an administration protecting the ones responsible for his death
I really try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but Alex Pretti was not an immediate threat to anyone's life.
That ICE agent was SO far out of line its not even funny
Scratch that. This entire "Tales of Ba Sing Se" episode in The Witcher is truly awful. Pacing, tonal shifting, line to line dialogue, it's so terrible.
How did anyone look at this episode and think that THIS is what people wanted from the show?
Jaskiers entire song was good. It was also entirely and from start to finish, out of place. The Witcjer is NOT a musical. It was a show that happened to have a couple of memorable in-world songs.
Such tone deaf decisions
This trash is why I removed X from my phone (and will do so again after posting this)
People prop up intense opinions because they have a DESPERATE need to be emotionally engaged
Intense words = spent emotional energy = 0 energy for meaningful pursuit = life with little purpose
Ricci gets asked if Battlefield is going to die since BO7 just came out:
โ100%โฆ Battlefield is gonna be dead and thereโs gonna be no comp.. Battledads enjoy no comp on that sh*tty game.. real men go to a game that takes skill.โ ๐ฃ๏ธ
'Star Citizen' is about to reach $900M in total donations ๐ฎ
โข Game has been in development since 2012
โข Still in Alpha with no official release date
Maybe this is just a phrasing thing for me, but "wanting to see it be more right" is kinda odd in my opinion.
I'd prefer a centrist experience. Both sides have meaningful things to contribute to the industry as a whole. Unfortunately, I think tribalism tends to hamper this.
On this edition of Ask Marty Anything, I break my rule and take on a compound question as I answer whether it is possible for another game to change the industry like Halo did and why so many in the entertainment industry lean left.
$1000 isn't THAT far off what a decent entry level PC would go for
$350 for a GPU
$250 for a CPU
$100 for a Motherboard
$50 for 16GB of RAM
$50 for the power supply
$50 for a fan/heat sync
$50 for a case
= $900
And that would be a pretty low end build.
Exactly. The entire point of Steam Machine is to standardize ENTRY-level PC gaming at a reasonable level of performance!
Idk if some techtubers have become entirely out of touch with their free 5090s and 6-figure incomes, but "entry" is not $1000 lol.

Everything about this season of The Witcher feels like it's screaming "Look at us! We're a high fantasy show!" As if it's desperate to convince me of what it's trying to be. In turn, it makes everything feel entirely unconvincing
In the last year, I've lost 130 lbs.
In the last month, I was laid off, have been job searching, started a game design course, and have felt the financial pressure of it all. I've gained 18 lbs in that time.
We fall to learn to pick ourselves up. Hard โ impossible.
In an age where so many feel as if AI is replacing everything and everyone, the human component of connection and relationship has NEVER been more important.
Developing interpersonal skills is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
