    In Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, there’s a period of time between when you get your hammers and when you learn how to make small Mario/bury Luigi that the brother in back can swing their hammer and because you don’t know that move yet causes an angry Mario/Luigi animation to play like a “WTF BRO”

    Those bastards removed it in the 3DS remake and I was so very disappointed when I found out, it was literally the first thing I tried after getting the hammers in the remake

    It was such a small detail, but infinitely enjoyable as a kid, removed for nothing:(

    They don’t.

    They are under so much pressure to have scrum meetings that they have to sacrifice development time in order for the scrum master to keep his meeting KPI on target.

      What even is this? There’s no such thing as meeting KPIs in any agile framework.

      And Scrum does allow for long meeting in case of extreme situations but any self respecting team will not take more than 10% of their total time out of a sprint for this.

    There was this company called Scaleform Corporation. What they created was literally translation of any Flash UI to c++ pluggable game engine. Autodesk acquired them because it was flash games boom, best gaming times in the history of this planet. Scaleform became part of Autodesk Gameware where you literally could create game logic.

    When corporation called Apple killed Flash on their phones another corporation called Adobe killed flashplayer enteirly (acquired from company called Macromedia).
    After that it was just a matter of time until Autodesk killed Scaleform and Gameware.

    Funny thing that Adobe was company that Steve Jobs wanted to acquire. And because of his big ego he killed flash to kill the feeling of failure. Today it’s year 2025 we just didn’t realise that Steve Jobs was a biggest villan of all, it won’t be announced until 2050.

    And that’s why the games are shitty guys. We need better software for creators.

    Cuz most modern UIs are actually web uis in disguise, and it’s easier to modify a standard progress bar than to make a new one.

      I’d say that Microsoft’s Fluent design language is even worse. Material at least tries to use rounded shapes and animations; Fluent has been pretending that monocolored rectangles are interesting since 2010. And it has been consistently wrong.
