It’s because most of the people who made those games probably left. Companies don’t make games, people do.

Even the people who don’t leave, after having some success, may end up getting promoted. Once promoted their talents may not be suited to management or the promotion might go to their head and they’ll be undone by their own hubris.

It’s a minor miracle that any group of people manage to make more than one banger game in a row.

That’s the most uniform loaf of bread I’ve ever seen, nice work!

I finished Esrahaddon and Drumindor to be up to date with Michael J Sullivan’s books. Esrahaddon was one of my favourites to date and returning to Riyria in Drumindor was pretty good.

The “Scottish” speech of the dwarves drove me up the wall though. It was this weird mixture of Scottish, Irish and “nobody speaks like that anywhere” and reminded me of that one time I was in a gas station in Texas when the guy behind the counter asked me if I’m from Ireland (I’m from Scotland) and when I told him that he said knew someone from Glasgow and asked me if I knew them.

Anyhoo, next up was James Herbert’s The Rats which after recommending to someone here I figured I should reread after 25 years or so. It’s done and I’m on the 2nd book, Lair. The titular rats make for a wonderful horror antagonist and Herbert expertly stokes the tension before people get eaten.

IQ testing is pseudoscience. It’s one of the preferred methods of the far right to try to differentiate between races for that very reason. Pseudoscience is a lot more malleable for their purposes than the settled science that says race doesn’t exist biologically.

Having a “high IQ” is only proof that you’re good at IQ tests.
