Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

    We have our staff meetings 3pm on Friday. whyyyyyy

    This should be an OSHA violation.

    I'll answer my own question: It's because we're a help desk and that's when all the clients have left (because their bosses don't inflict cruel medieval torture on them) so it's a pretty free time for everyone.

    But, dammit, I'm a dev, not one of the help deskers, I shouldn't need to go. :(

    But what if they need to you to explain in progress stuff to the help deskers so that when they get called about it they can have some excuse as to why they don't have any way of helping the customers currently?

    Zelda tutorials are like a transcendently perfect example of how not to do a tutorial.

    Fucking 45 minutes of poorly localized shitty dialogue from annoying characters telling you how to do insipid tasks that anyone with half a brain will figure out in ten second of free play. Unskippable. Painfully un-immersive. Just awful.

    Tutorials should take the form of a more integrated ramping up of gameplay and involve some actual challenge or content. Especially for games that aren't hard to control!

    Call me crazy but I actually enjoy that part of the game. I like that there is phase of nothing really big happening. Just doing some mundane shit to get into character and then having shit start to happen. It helps me get into the shoes of a hero who isn't really prepared to be a hero or whatever.

    I like having that section in lot's of different kinds of games actually.

    That's totally fine and something to give merit to, but even that immersive-process can be built rigidly (as in wrong).

    That's true. I mean if you stripped the 'tutorial-esque' bits from that part of the game it certainly would not decrease my enjoyment one bit.

    The WiiU is actually really awesome.

    I wish EA and others would give it a chance and release some shit for it.

    Miiverse is amazing and half the time I am on the thing I am not even playing a game.

    What is it that you want to gain weight for?

    Once I gave up the idea of 'bulking up' and just accepted that I was of skinny build I became much happier with my work-out progress. I just focus on keeping up some nice muscle definition. Sure I may only weigh 135 but I gots all dat definition and I look damn good with out a shirt.

    I went to McDonald's cuz I was hungry while I was out doing errands and I have little will power. I blew almost my entire daily calorie budget with that meal. McDonald's is insane.

    10 piece chicken nugget is ~550 calories

    Just eat one of those and it isn't too bad.

    my goal weight is 140-150. The idea is to get up to 150 and cut to somewhere between 140-145

    I don't even like their hamburgers. They're incredibly bland. But I felt like a burger and I didn't want to spend a lot. SO MCDONALD'S.
  • SarksusSarksus TEN FUCKING DOLLARS Registered User regular
    Like, the ketchup and onions are more flavorful than the burger. That's what I taste when I bite into it, and then underneath is a vague burger flavor.

    I got my iPad mini today.

    It really is the perfect size.
    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes.

    When I want a burger I do the local Kreckel's or I grill (or learn how to grill rather, still don't have it down yet. :P ). McDonald's has decent milkshakes though.

    I'll answer my own question: It's because we're a help desk and that's when all the clients have left (because their bosses don't inflict cruel medieval torture on them) so it's a pretty free time for everyone.

    But what if they need to you to explain in progress stuff to the help deskers so that when they get called about it they can have some excuse as to why they don't have any way of helping the customers currently?

    Nah, I'm basically around to develop side tools for the people, I help everyone else do their jobs but they don't need to know anything about what I do and I don't need to know any of the functional stuff that goes on at the meetings.

    The help desk deals with two programs. One I used to develop for, but currently don't have access to either the code or the database. It's a big and complicated enough program that I can hardly work on memory. The other program I've never done any kind of development for, so I have absolutely no understanding of the technical or functional sides.

    So I go to private meetings with the heads of the help desk where they tell me the tools they want developed, and then later I go to the staff meetings where I smile and nod and pretend I have any idea what they're talking about with all of their accounting nonsense. :)
