@MrBitterTV I've been meaning to get to it, seems very much like my jam

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@Dacidbro How can *50% of King players live like that!!

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@AngryangryD @xppenusa Yooo that's my town, hell yeah

In the upcoming Samurai Pizza Cats trailer, Big Cheese says he probably won’t even be playable…

So I fixed that 👀

I made a fully illustrated/animated character demo showing how he could work in-game!

@blastzero_games if you’re still looking for animators, my DMs are open :)

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@TheCartelDel Right now it's basically lead producers/auteurs like Kojima, and composers. But having that info down the line for like - animators, modelers, combat designers etc would be great

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@TheCartelDel I deeply wish info like that were more publicly available - the more that people can track the work of individuals and teams as markers of quality, the more valuable workers could become as individuals

@GenePark @TheCartelDel @SpawnWaveMedia How the turn tables

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@TFT will there be a fix for the static "0 gold" sitting on top of the android mobile screen? It's been there since PBE and it's now also on live, which makes gold tracking very unpleasant

@whatacoolwitch Take the drugs they give you + play TTYD

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@thisislijoe Very happy for you man

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@TylerDinucci Finally a reason to say go bison

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@TheCartelDel No argument that even with no data, they could + should have gotten closer than... that

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@TheCartelDel Can't speak for Virtuous' handling of the work, but I've been told part of the atrocities between that and FFXII remaster are that square simply lost the old data so facial models + animation data didn't exist

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

Who's on first, millennial style

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@DustinBrowder You can't be saying things like this and giving me hope!!

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@thaGaGaGuy @Speedkicks Even if this was done intentionally and in a non-layoff fashion the amount of on-boarding needed to teach these complex systems to new people is immense and highly inefficient, and not everyone will get up to speed as quickly as others. Some never get up to speed

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@thaGaGaGuy @Speedkicks It would, but that's not a hypothetical. Layoffs are designed to be a surprise and keeping documentation up to date is a near-impossible task under the best circumstances. Dozens of "I'm the only person who knows how to do this" people are gone and their knowledge with them

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@tafokints It's the reason in the 2000s people would insist you shouldn't train fighting games online: you play against bad people who force you to learn bad habits in order to counter their dumb ideas.

[Barrett Womack @TheDerrit]

@tafokints Plat: Will do really dumb things that learning to anticipate would make you a worse player
Emerald: Will do dumb things well
Diamond: Will do smart things that you will effectively anticipate

I run into this all the time. Same thing in Tekken, same thing in RoA2.
