Maybe Sarah wanted the promotion, didn't get it, and resigned because of this.

Some people are saying he was fired. Those people are probably wrong but it makes it more interesting so I chose to believe it.

It feels weird that Sarah Bond left too. 

It feels like MS is pushing hard on AI here. 

I wouldn't be surprised if they left on their own, because of MS's direction.

Been playing a lot.  Like 6+ hours yesterday and quite a bit today.  

I had played like half of Persona 3 years ago. I think the PS2 version on PS3. It's probably been like 15 years. I recall not finishing it and feeling like I liked it less as I got closer to the end. 

The opposite of my experience right now. I kind of think I'm further in the game and yet more eager to play. Maybe the Reload is better. 

It's still introducing new things like 30 hours in.  

The game is very long. 

But I am looking forward to it right now.

Spent a fair amount of today: 

- Playing Persona 3
- Cleaning the house
- Creating a custom client to grab a bunch of Japanese vocabulary from a pretty cool API.

The inflated budgets of modern AAA games is insane. There are so many free tools or a lot of assets that can be used and easily tweaked to make whatever look you want. I could easily see all the premade assets that expedition 33 used when I played it, but they did them in such a unique way most people wont see or care. 

Game dev is fudgy hard but there has never been a time that's it's been as easy to make one

But IGN said 60 fps was max! /s

I play at 30fps cause I think it's fine. But it's certainly a downgrade.

I'm usually okay with playing at 30 FPS assuming the hardware is limited to it and its a game I havent played but for PC gaming I usually go for 4K 60 Minimum if not 4K 120 FPS

At the most extreme cases (which I havent come across yet thankfully) - I'll reduce down to 1440p 60

60 is usually my goal when it comes to PC gaming.

But its honestly hard NOT to notice a difference especially between 30 and 60 lol.


For an example when I played the Ratchet and Clank games on PS3 - almost all of them were 60 FPS which was smooth and great but when I played Into the Nexus , I instantly knew it was not 60 and it was horrible lol.

I was playing the entire Ratchet and Clank series (The original trilogy collection, Future collection, etc) on PS3 back to back  and they were all great...until Into the Nexus - so it was very noticeable lol.
