Dragon Age vet says the "fidelity death cult" and a "fear of backlash" over reused assets is making AAA games take way longer, but that creates room for Dark Souls-style surprise hits
  • I love that this comes out of Dragon age's dev team, as if they weren't part of the reason why people started being so aware of reuse and just general laziness.

    Also, nobody cares about reuse, we care about reuse that makes the game worse.

    The fact that dragon age 2 had 6 dungeon tilesets they reused super lazily with a very mediocre random generation algorithm and they got shat on for it doesn't mean all reuse is bad, it means the ratio of content to playtime has to be higher than whatever that fucking was.

    But most of all, going from a completely bespoke, no repetitive side quests, all killer no filler CRPG to whatever the fuck DA2 thought it was going to be? Step down, no matter how much of it would have been original assets, it was just worse design and a lower overall level of craftsmanship. I could throw that gameplay loop together in a day of work, it's just not interesting.

  • I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.
  • This isn't like, basic necessities food. This fast food.

    The cost is the manpower and prep involved in being able to deliver food, fast.

    The deals are there to make you check the rest of the website and be acquainted with their products, in exchange you get a price reduction.

    There is no ripping off, you're just not doing an additional bit of trading. If you don't want food at the price Domino's offers nobody says you must purchase from them.

  • Kota Ibushi Says That He's Still Rehabbing His Ankle Injury
  • I wonder if there is a way to fix this in the shortest amount of time! I wonder if there is a way to fix this in the shortest amount of time.

    Bro stop, you're gonna be held up by studs and bolts if you keep going like that.

  • SquaredCircle’s Weekly Pro-Wrestling Discussion Thread! (June 9th 2024) (Spoilers) (Also 🎈 Happy Birthday 🎉 To Us!)
  • It's such a nonsensical point too, some of the best wrestling I've seen is in Stardom and TJPW, which have crowds in the thousands and no tv deals in the US. If ratings meant anything other than "old people watch this" there would be a very different breakdown there.

  • [Fightful Select] Update on Jeff Hardy-AEW
  • I wonder if Copeland joining was a factor at all in Matt leaving or nah.

    You'd hope all this time later they'd be fine but who knows.

    Either way the Hardys are in no state to run it back against E&C

  • Nao Kakuta will be graduating from wrestling in July

    Can't imagine this was the plan 3 months ago when she won her first title and immediately had to drop it.

    Let me be the first to say: FUUUUUUUU-

    Repurposing an Animus Heart

    Way back at the beginning of my figuring out home automation, I bought a Animus Heart.

    It's ok but it's extremely limited and the UI is terribly sluggish and unwieldy, so I'd like to replace the OS with Home Assistant instead.

    I have reason (my router recognising it as a such when it crashed) to believe that on the inside it's just a Raspberry Pi with some added bells and whistles.

    Has anyone tried this? Is this feasible?
