Having worked with it, WoWEdit is both a great engine I wish other engines could mirror in some aspects AND rife with“spaghetti code” problems where fixing a bug in modern content can randomly break an elevator in a decades-old raid.
Blizzard calls WoW’s “spaghetti code” reputation an unfair characterization and says the engine is one of the best out there. Plus, Forever’s visual upgrades are headed to Retail. 👉 icy-veins.com/wow-forever/ne… #warcraft #midnight

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!
Generates a meme with AI to argue that AI can ship with speed and quality.

Look, @TimSweeneyEpic isn’t entirely off on his crusade. While gamers want to know if they’re buying generated slop, the @Steam AI label is a one-hot classifier.
Zero-thought AI slop shouldn’t be bucketed with games where a solo dev used an LLM to help understand debug errors.
He’s certainly not my first choice when it comes to Sweeneys on the internet, but he’s not wrong, even if he’s not right in how he goes about it.
This is too common in the industry, not just social media scanning.
The “culture fit” interview round can often be used to discriminate. A manager cannot discriminate in hiring, but the decision is offset to a panel of thumbs up/down without traceability on their reasoning.
I think the vertical loot treadmill problem in Forever could be mitigated if item stats/effects are either enabled or boosted when within the relevant content.
Within the content, the power progression fantasy feels significant, with only a marginal impact on the outside world.
"Run For Your Life" also refers to a specific debuff you get in certain encounters of the King's Fall raid, including against the final boss. Running the raid without this was doable but challenging.
