My first thought was absolutely "they're getting ready to keep people in."

Only a matter of time before a dmz-style border fence goes up and guards are posted facing inward. I hope I'm being hyperbolic.

A blaze of glory would be utilizing his Supreme-Court-granted powers of presidential immunity and officially act to save, at bare minimum, the country.

Go ahead and ride your high horse on that moral high road, just don't trip over all the corpses.

I mean, it would have been nice if the game had been finished when it came out.....

But hey, they've fixed nearly every problem I had with the game on launch. Which is infinitely more than most of the companies who release shitty broken games.

I think after years and years of 3d games, I just don't like 2d anymore.

I've become institutionalized by a third dimension...

I don't even enjoy Castlevania anymore and those games were my jam back in the day.

I never could get into terraria, but some days I want to buy it just to support a good developer.

It was as much her own "fault" as it was Wesley's.

Wes created the little universe bubble she got sucked into, but her own subconscious filled it and made things disappear.

I once dropped a water bottle out of my backpack, and couldn't find it when I retraced my hike, but I did start noticing tons of trash everywhere.

So I started keeping a trash bag in my backpack, and filling a small bag every time I hike.

I may not have found my bottle, but I'll make sure I clean up more than I left every time I'm out.

I've had plenty of times where I get home and empty my pockets of the trash I accumulated with no can nearby.

And if I try to put something in a can and it falls out, I'm taking it with me because I didn't succeed in throwing it away.

Shrugging ans saying "well I tried" as you walk away isn't even trying.

Being a first time, or even just smaller developer is a nightmare when you compare it against large companies.

You basically don't have a chance if you try to carry your dream yourself, because you lack funding. But getting in bed with larger companies for funding and marketing puts an insane amount of pressure to perform well or go under.

I can totally understand why so many things were over-promised. I can't excuse what we got on release, but I do understand why he lied, even in the weeks leading up to release where everyone who plays immediately knows what's bullshit.

And to be honest, I would likely do the same in some situations.

Like the multi-player aspect where supposedly you would be able to see each other in-game. They really thought with the size of the procedural generation it would take a lot longer for people to meet, even if they were trying to meet up. Unfortunately they forgot to take statistics and probability into account. With the large amounts of people playing, two were bound to end up close enough to meet in the finest few days.

I think they really thought they'd have time to fix it before anyone met.

You'll say anything when it's your future, and the futures of all the people you work with, on the line.
