20 year industry vet here. When I started, it was in a company that was hiring nothing but people that have never worked in games before (and they did not tell us this, like some bad reality show). Of the ~200+ people I worked with there when I started, I would very generously estimate maybe only 10-15 of us still in the industry. To be fair, conditions in the industry have gotten a lot better since most of those people left it. The days of doing 80+ hours a week are long gone for most of us as far as I can tell.

It's really all about loving who you are working with. Even if you hate the project or the hours, just enjoying being around the right people makes a huge difference. Writing that is making me realize just how many of my favorite people and closest friends are now elsewhere and damn, I miss them.

Because you are pulling it every day.

I'm not sure why I would be paying a subscription service for something self-hosted, unless you are hosting the cloud saves for us? I'd love to support you financially, but I'm sick of subscriptions. I'd happily do what I did with Immich, which is a single one-time payment. Love the app otherwise.

Pressing R1 at the time you hit your opponent with a sword attack fires the gun for extra damage with proper timing.

There's very little reason to buy this when Best Buy is selling the ROG Ally X for $200 cheaper with bigger battery, better performance, better screen, better support, etc... But will say I'm glad to see Ayaneo making it into Best Buy at all. Just... needed to be a year earlier.

Exo's been working on these packs for-EVER. He's done so much for the preservation of DOS games over the years.

It's likely just meaning new compilations coming down the line as there is zero cost and zero maintenance for them to keep the games up otherwise and is entirely passive income.

That's funny. I think you fail to realize how big Ticketmaster is. They own most of the venues these shows sell tickets for, so... it's a much bigger problem and is going to require government intervention.

MK2 onwards did indeed have blood.

It's my first time hearing of it too. Had no idea it was sought after in any way, thought it would be interesting for others.

Yes, as I mentioned in my comment.

Exactly why I replaced the headline when posting here to avoid that.

Law & Order, Forensic Files, Inside the Actor's Studio, OSW Review, but to be honest, I don't really need any of it because I tend to pass out entirely within about 30 seconds of my head hitting the pillow anyways.

The more simplistic models being used with the FMV backgrounds was done to keep the framerate of the characters high while the PSX was busy with MPEG decoding.

This is why you have a staging environment and backups for the very rare case where something goes wrong. I've only had to roll back a container maybe 3 times in 5 years at this point and can just roll back to a previous snapshot in a few minutes.

Sad it's not releasing in North America.

Yes, it's a serious question. Pulling far too often is exactly why Docker Hub is implementing lower daily limits.

Funny how almost every wrestling game from this era had a Hogan clone.

Considering it was the pack-in game for the Wii which sold like crazy and a lot of people never ended up buying anything else, I find it hard to call it underrated when it was all anyone was raving about playing back then.
