Studio Art Director @EA DICE, sr AD on Battlefield, acquired taste
Prev; BGE2, AC Origins, R6 Siege, JD3 etc
Opinions are mine (especially the smart ones) and do not represent the views of my employer bleep bloop bleep
Sometimes I think about the fact that we should have better external recognition for tech art vs art direction.
The two are intertwined when you look at a final result, granted.
But amazing rendering for ex is not art direction (even though impacts it) & that needs to be highlighted.

Mine was Lord of the Rings because I thought some parts of it had been turned into a jokey cliché b movie (Demi gods hurling each other at walls??, overbearing music, Gimli the clown, zooooms, Boromir the dumb asshole, Legolas surfing)
I’ve come to terms with it now but y’know I’m a nerd too

Funny - I watched the John Olivier episode on Boeing during lunch today, and yeah. Not a big mystery, but also it's still hard to believe that kind of bs is allowed.

Reminds me of that American tourist who went to the Calgary stampede a few years ago with a fully loaded gun. Upon expulsion he claimed it was outrageous - how else could he defend himself without his gun? He didn’t feel safe without it!
My man, no one feels safe with you carrying a loaded gun…

I’m so tired of this game badgering me with its incessant interrupts, staggers, inescapable repetition of Big Hits and unfair gaslighting I think it’s just a really bitter recreation of working in game dev.

load up on your physical media if you can. torrent like a madman if you can't. streaming isn't coming to save the day. behave like you got a hot tip about plans to burn the Library of Alexandria.

Not having most people at work right now is DELIGHTFUL 🌈
I can actually... think?
I can actually... organize my thoughts?
Fucking paradise.

I was playing a game tonight and the gameplay was boring and I said "this is boring" and then the character said "this is boring"
And
I have to ask
If you knew what you were making was boring
Why did you make it?

I think for anyone outside the US it’s just so absurd and dangerous and also why would anyone ever need ammo on the regular? It just is a massive divorce from “normal” modern life.
I’ve spent most of my life 1ish hour from the US border and I still have trouble integrating this “US normalcy”.

Then you are competing against yourself, trying to do something stupidly hard and could end up self immolating in a most grandiose way, thus proving you are in fact an Honored and True Game Dev.

I get it but you’re calling out the wrong people in a very unfair way.
Complain to EA and Riot. But there are a lot of hard working folks in the meantime that want their games to be played and appreciated. I don’t know many greedy devs tbh.
