@therealcliffyb May I interest you in a scanner? It also requires an update. 😏

@RebelComicNerd In larger studios, some parts of QA may end up being automated. There's only so many people and so many hours in the day.

Someone still needs to code it out. So, QA are devs. Full stop.

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@JLHGameArt Two months designing a full system for multiplayer progression. System was thrown out due to disagreements on design.

Later on, ended up using it anyway when the objection was forgotten. Felt like going in circles.

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

e.g: Some games artificially reduce HP damage when the player is near death, so they don't get killed flat out and have a chance to recover and hide.

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

Talk of Karmic Dice in #BaldursGate3 being weighted in the player's favour tends to ignore that a lot of design in single-player games are already weighted to favour the player.

Multiplayer - We need to be fair.
Singleplayer - Our AI has no feelings. Our players do.

@bombsfall This joke feels unrealistic. You forgot to add the part where they ask us to do this at a fraction of the cost.

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@BlondeNerd I'm sorry, but those balls are still worth a piece of gold.

I'll make it up by petting him a 1000 times.

Now that the weekend is nearly upon us, I can at least have a bit more time for #BaldursGate3.

And hopefully get through Act 1 at the very least.

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@DestinLegarie Already watched the video and never believed you did such things. No worries!

Keep up the good fight!

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@DestinLegarie I imagine most #gamedevs are happy with some discourse. If you attend our meetings, there's bound to be some.

Certainly I don't think we always get it right. No-one ever does. But we sure as hell try.

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@DestinLegarie Agreed. There's no better way for us devs to ignore your feedback if you:

1.) Threaten to kill us.
2.) Tell us we're lazy.
3.) Tell us we're dumb and stupid at our jobs.

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@jesawyer Turbocharge that overthinking!

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@CohhCarnage Guilty as charged. ✋

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

Staring down the barrel of #BaldursGate3, knowing that #Starfield is coming soon. 😅

If #barbenheimmer is still a thing, hopefully #BaldursField or #StarGate will be a thing.

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@DMC_Ryan Wait, didn't Hi-Fi Rush take this crown?

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@TafferKing451 Wat?!

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@garywhitta Need references to confirm.

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

With #BaldursGate3 out now, I feel like saying this little variant.

I have no time and I must scream.

(I hope this doesn't date me too much)

[Wing Hunter @WingHunter100]

@DMC_Ryan I imagine it's also general instability in economics right now. Prices being such as it is, people want their things to last just a little longer.

Still, I agree that length should not dictate value proposition.
