People who give products poor ratings online due to everything but problems with the product... what are you doing? Shipping issues, not the right thing to solve my problem, bad customer service from the store. These aren't the product's fault, ya dum dums.

Totally agree. Another example. I like awkward humor and playing dumb for jokes. I'll get comments critiquing the awkwardness or "dumb" moments, correcting me and informing me of the mistake. I get that not everyone likes that kind of humor, but sometimes they just missed the joke.

My hot Final Fantasy take: That fake laughing scene in FF10 was actually a very touching and human moment that really brought two deeply traumatized characters closer together. Y'all just don't understand that there's such a thing as context.

You're very welcome! I hope this behind the scenes look is as fun to listen to as it was getting to hang out with all of you.

A huge thanks to @robotsradio.bsky.social for having the Chip Shot cast on their show! It was a great time, Tom is one hell of an interviewer, and it gave us a chance to talk about the project we've been working on for the past several months. Check it out! youtu.be/fuWZO5IfJ78?...

The mega-corporations that own so much of the game industry have proven time and again to be poor stewards for the art and entertainment that we love. Almost the only tool we have against them is to organize. Support unionized workers. Unionize your studio. Dare to dream of a better world.

I hope Asha Sharma understands this. Checked her work history. Porch Group startup, Meta VP of Products & Engineering, Instacart, Microsoft CoreAI. She did some big stuff, for sure. But my gut says that she's about to learn that managing game dev is a different animal completely.

More Fallout and Elder Scrolls games sooner would be nice, but games are art. And good art is only created by people who are inspired.
