#god what a crunch

[densitywell]

spent like an hour trying to find a post abt the disparity of origin companion's content in bg3 and couldn't so, hey, this fucking sucks

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #the fact that the astarion favoritism is baked into the game itself is so darksided oh my god #bc what do you mean wyll has TWO THIRDS THE AMOUNT OF DIALOGUE??? #anyways this thread was also how i found out that astarion is the only one with durge specific scenes #and bc the writer was being forced into crunch and writing for both of them. lol #ETA I know abt Wyll being recast/rewritten and Karlach being added last. the post I linked goes into all of that in detail #as well as linking to another post that goes into even more detail and explains where these numbers came from. #you do not have to tell me. or accuse me of making shit up to make people mad. i know and i'm still mad lol #game design is very complicated yes but there's many ways they could've avoided giving the one black character the least amount of content

Hirogaru Sky! Pretty Cure, Episode 22 but only Battamonda's scenes

...which is an unsurprisingly big chunk of the episode. Gimme the bug man arc. I know this is a dire situation but i keep laughing because he is so insane and petty and brings me joy. I am so fucking excited, this is fucked up lmao

Also this makes battamonda saying he's not a sore loser even funnier

i’m using him to stir my tea. no yeah im holding him by the legs and stirring him headfirst don’t worry though he’s holding his breath. well a bit of him went a little too sodden and crumbled off into the bottom of the mug but ill just scoop it up and stick it back on later. yeah i’ve got a pritt stick don’t worry. well these things happen

#he’s drying out on a paper towel now. he’s all damp from the shoulders up. #if i was mulling something he would be my cinnamon stick. if i was lighting something he would be my match i would drag his head along the #side of a matchbox. if i was brushing my teeth he would be my toothbrush. if i had a dog he would be the stick we played fetch with. #throughout all of this i want you to imagine him as being slightly bewildered but also quite resigned. that is just what he’s like #I need to. god I don’t even know I need to crunch him #r

people with their fave's extra hours of dialogue and double the romance scenes claiming the char in question wasn't l*rian's writers' pet... I can't this is a stupid fucking hill to die on and that is objectively provable there is a reddit thread where someone literally did the maths. You are just wrong and you need to shut up.

#tbd #(1) one character in bg3 got more romance content than eeeeveryone else by a pretty vast margin #a clown who works at l*rian literally admitted to the blatant favouritism what more do you need #a clown i might add who in their own words #was the narrative design LEAD who worked with individual character writers to plan and develop storylines :^) #and magically only had time for the (1) one character who you keep insisting isn't a writer's pet #as if writing all those extra interactions wasn't giving more work to everyone down that pipeline during crunch lmfao #which is even more irresponsible #but soo many people at l*rian just let that happen lmfao #i love how it's like 'BUT THE STATS SAID' #it's only proving the fucking point my dude #the stats in both early access and full release said a certain couple of chars were the most popular to romance #meanwhile both those characters only got half the potentially romantic scenes the writers' pet did #(1) character got preferential writing over ALL the others for the durge romance like jesus christ #'more talked about than your fave' my god shut up you cretins #like shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down #you can get a seat at the table of people who have every right to bitch when l*rian writes in more romance scenes so it's six for EVERYONE. #and all those fucking extra wittle durge interactions #EXIST FOR EVERYONE ELSE #and now i go back to my hiatus bc this site is bad for my blood pressure #fandom wank #bg3 critical

I am pretty sure I've made this exact post before but I think it's sooooo funny how much people like to complain about the "don't over-deliver, you're creating patterns" gdc talk while also complaining that the reason destiny 2 is """bad""" now is because they are delivering a consistent level of content that steadily improves instead of every season getting exponentially bigger and better than the last like do you hear yourself bestie

#gameplay wise this is the best season we've ever had by the way #narratively it is also pretty darn good though that's more subjective #it takes 3 months to develop content for a season. you cannot do 4 months of work in 3 months without crunching. #and if you do 4 months of work in 3 months once. you are setting yourself up to have to do that forever to meet player expectations #please develop your frontal cortex. #i do have complaints about the narrative this year (defiance & lf) but guess what! those are indicative of over-committing #lf had a shorter development time than wq. defiance tried to make a big moment even though expansion seasons are generally smaller. #and coming off a very well-polished narrative w/ seraph #like im not trying to make infinite excuses but like! these things don't happen because everybody on the team suddenly got bad at their job #they happen because of poor planning and rushed deadlines!!! this is why you cannot over deliver in a live service environment!!!! #in conclusion i hate seasonal models and im so excited for the episode format god nuke the games industry please

Larian your game had 400+ devs and 6 years of development time. What do you mean you had crunch?

You had your devs on Twitter mocking those who said that expecting this as a standard from other AAA studios would destroy studios. (In fact, a black indie dev was harassed by your fans because of this.) Yet you couldn't make this game without 6 years and dev abuse?

Crunch is abuse. It's torturous and detrimental to the wellbeing of devs. For Larian to do that, and then have their devs encourage the mocking of anyone who said "this isnt a sustainable model for AAA studios that are expected to make games as fast possible"? That's disgusting.

#girlbob.txt #bg3 #pointing this out cause the other time i remember this happening to a studio was cdpr #the witcher 3 became a smash hit and was considered by many to be the 'new standard' for open world games #and this reputation of 'we made tw3' is what lead to everything around cyberpunk 2077 #and god if bg3 crunched their writers #say a prayer for the qa testers #pray they at least got paid for what is the worst and most abusive part of a studio when there's crunch #sorry. just a bit frustrated at how much of this conversation is stopping at either #'is astarion/durge canon?' or 'were the other characters not given the same amount of time?'

[synthville]

so what im getting is that it was absolutely unnecessary to isolate raffi on gotham city in order for her story to go on.

a story that’s so halfhearted that five episodes in—halfway to the end. btw—her motivation is yet to be explained (why go back to this sector of intelligence work when teaching seemed to be fulfilling? was she made to do this?? did she volunteer because her son now lives on this planet now apparently?? was losing elnor cris and possibly seven so painful that burying herself in work seemed like a better option??? who knows! not me!!) and it’s definitely a retreat character-wise but the fact that they still haven’t laid the groundwork to make this stick is kind of amazing lol. it’s the way they’re not even pretending to give a fuck about her or any of the other women characters for me—they said you’re a womb or a subordinate ladies pick one and shut the hell up LMAO?

the fact that the ‘real plot’ is happening on that other ship while everything raffi does is basically an afterthought with backstory slipped in between the cracks like aged caulk is so disheartening and pathetic. star trek picard make an effort maybe. she’s a polarizing character that’s been stuck in impossible situations, weighed down with retractions and stereotypes (they thread the line but HM) because the narrative continually refuses to meaningfully engage with her and a lot of fans of the show wont examine their own biases to see why they have such a viscerally negative reaction to a complicated black woman character that’s good at what she does, knows it and refuses to kneel at the foot of their hero’s :)

and if it wasn’t for ms hurd elevating this performance with sheer will, massive talent and the whip of that (sexy) ponytail? shit would be so much worse. but it’s still bad! because instead of giving her a nuanced, thoughtful send off she’s once again being made to suffer for the nth time. because why? oh right so wise man worf can guide her to the light lol give me a fuckin break.

and it’s no accident that if you cut raffi out (which they literally did in ep4 miss musiker you WILL be avenged) the story could more or less proceed as usual. that’s by design.

because legacy characters or not, im simply not buying that the main white cast members (plus two interlopers idgaf about those new guys and they’re doing nothing to make me care either. pick a random channel and their stories are being told right now live and in color like don’t piss me off) just so happen to be on the ship with the lead yet the sole woc is sent away on some underbaked adventure because ‘reasons?’ please. this season literally could not be more transparent about the audience they’re catering to and who/whose stories are of importance and consideration.

and i knew this would probably happen once the premise for s3 was revealed but i still can’t get over how obvious it is that there really was no plan for raffi and that she only happened to bypass the cull of the la sirena crew because she was romantically linked with seven at the time. which is baffling considering how things are (not) going between them (#theyareMARRIEDletthemTALKandKISSandREST)

and it’s not just them like everything about this season is quite literally happening just because. every slightly interesting or fresh development (and character it’s true) from the previous seasons has been dismissed or diminished and for what? secret sons and man pain? ew lmao. no suspense no lingering threads just excessive shots of ships, an aggressive insistence on biological families and rampant, shameless references to past glory. a mess.

#doing everyone so dirty but it’s fine because ‘familiar faces’ yeah okay 👍🏾 #like can we all be serious for one second lol #they’re not even trying. #at least if this season was good i would somewhat understand why they snapped my faves out of existence but it’s literally not #feels insane to see so many people praise this #is this really where we are as an audience? nostalgia = good? really? #and the new characters they chose to add? come on #no space for rios but yall had space for TWO random white guys? #a christmas miracle! #like the kid is one thing but captain crunch ? they’re playing in my FACE #like i don’t even have any firm feelings about him because he’s pretty much a giant bore but #seeing all these allowances being made for him because of what he looks like whilst raffi continues to get shit on irks me so bad #like i knew it would happen ive been alive in the world lol but still #unsurprising but irritating af that captain crunch can sulk around in all his dickheaded glory #and it’s fine because he’s gods most traumatized baby boy but let raffi lash out once and it’s questions about her competence #and calls to have her removed like oh what’s the difference i wonder #‘men can laugh while a woman can only chuckle’ -godforbid she be black and self assured- like that person was preaching i fear! #if this sounds bitter it’s because i am <3 #michelle hurd deserves so much better like someone pls get her a five season dramatic series on a prestige network asap! #looks at this dissertation i just wrote oops ain’t mean to rant like that but they forced my hand 😭 #now to watch raffi’s spar scene on loop and forget about the show until thursday comes around and rattles my cage again lol #raffi musiker #.rfi #stpk
