I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs.
I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history.
The people at id have done a great job moving that legacy forward. DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein are not easy names to carry on, especially in today’s industry. The last few games showed real care, skill and respect for what those worlds mean to people.
A note on digital preservation: id's history is critically important to the history of games. I’ve preserved id’s complete early history from our start at Softdisk through to August 6, 1996, including materials and assets that, as far as I know, id itself no longer has. I hope someone is doing the same for the company’s ongoing legacy (the work, code, assets, stories and the people behind them).
I’m thinking of everyone at id today, and everyone else affected by yesterday’s layoffs. Romero Games was there a year ago. I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you.
i havent seen a single person as upset about playstation cutting off physical media as the official dominos account. that shit meant something to them. the line between pizza and disc are thin
@Kone_thorix I'm not sure if it's because of what kind of avatars i'm using, but I feel like the muscle detail isn't really noticeable, at least on brighter skinned avatars.
I'm glad asym fans are starting to realize how ridiculous it is to get angry over someone thinking a game is killer sided when the game in question has a horrible learning curve.
The cruelest joke of ADHD is feeling intensely motivated to fix your entire life while you’re stuck at work. Then you step through your front door and instantly lose the ability to do a single task. It happens daily, and absolutely no one believes you.
@Robert73400501 Oh I DEFINITELY knew that feeling back when this originally still in progress😭 But hey, now that it's all done, anybody can binge it whenever!
If anybody yearns for a modern Nuzlocke that’s a multi-part series and has the old feel of ACTUALLY getting attached to the Pokemon, I highly recommend the Soul Link by @DotoDoya and @SeeReax
It’s a randomized playthrough with a shared rom and has so many highlights
Nowadays Nuzlocking is so oversaturated that you feel like dudes who do this for a living don’t actually grow that attached to their pokemon
But back in the day they’d be screaming like it was they firstborn son if glup shitto took one for the team
