2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

I watch this dude sometimes, he says he's a fulltime game dev but all I see him do is play other games. The game he works on has seen very little progress.

Would be nice if he at least admits he's a streamer and not a game dev.

[โ€“] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 10 points 20 hours ago

Yeah but did you know he worked at Blizzard?

[โ€“] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 16 hours ago

He's been working on that game for almost a decade now, too.

[โ€“] Lemminary@lemmy.world 76 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've also noticed this from watching his stream and the more I learn about the guy the less I like him. He seems to misrepresent and oversell himself quite a bit.

Btw did he tell you about the time he worked at Blizzard, for the millionth time?

[โ€“] echodot@feddit.uk 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He worked at Blizzard in the same way that Apple store employees work for Apple. They do, but not in the capacity that's been implied.

Are Apple devs even contractually allowed to say that they're Apple devs? I swear every employee from every other company won't shut up about it on twitter but you never hear a thing from Apple people. Have I just been missing them completely?

[โ€“] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I know a few people who used to work for Apple. The reason a lot don't say it though is because if you do people automatically assume you had something to do with whatever feature they don't personally like, and you get berated about it.

[โ€“] whats_all_this_then@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Ah, that's completely understandable. Most people don't realize that in a lot of companies, even if you are involved, the decision to make the stupid feature/break your workflow comes from a suit 10 pay grades above your level and despite everyone involved trying to explain that it's a bad idea.

Also it's a big fucking company haha

I remember seeing gameplay of Heartbound in like 2017? maybe earlier. it's still not finished?

I mean isn't it a Deltarune ripoff ??

EDIT: Undertale it is then

[โ€“] dustyData@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

Deltarune didn't exist yet. It's an undertale ripoff.

Which is very telling, tobyfox released a whole game on his own. While this " I worked at blizzard, BTW" tool hasn't with an (allegedly) entire company around him. He's a grifter, he scams people around him to profit off of other's work. That's all he does.

Given that it didn't exist yet, more like an Undertale rip off

[โ€“] underscores@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

"game dev" is a way to put it

[โ€“] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sounds an awful lot like what YandereDev did when he was still relevant.

[โ€“] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

No joke, YandereDev has been making more progress than Thor on Hartbound and he at least does not pretend to be experienced Blizzard game developer.

[โ€“] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

yanderedev is always relevant

[โ€“] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 22 hours ago

One of the best cautionary tales for developers
