Is there a word for when designers don't have anything to do so they just start arbitrarily making the user experience worse to justify their existence?
YouTube is reportedly testing a homepage layout without view counts and upload dates
- I say "GiMmE A HuG MaN" before scooping up my cat so often that it's become a verbal cue for him to run away and hide.
- 1. My cat screams at me to come up on my lap 2. I'm working so I tell him no 3. I remember that when he dies I'm going to think about each and every time I didn't let him sit on my lap 4. I sigh and let him up 5. He steps on my balls and leaves immediately
- Love it in JRPGs when your character starts at level 7. You know they were up to some shenanigans before you even turned the console on.
- One of my favorite movie gags of all time is the Black Panther who doesn't understand how a script works so he just recites the parentheticals along with his lines.Black Dynamite might just be one of the best movies ever
- Was asked to collect 12 slaughterfish scales. Spent about 30 minutes moving around trying to get the slaughterfish to spawn. Then I got a pop up telling me the quest giver died. So yes, I would say this is definitely The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
- Idk how you can figure this considering we're almost 5 years into the PS5 and its best exclusive is an arguably inferior remake of a PS3 exclusive.PS3 was PlayStation worst generation. Yes despite ushering in Uncharted and The Last of Us. Overall that generation is objectively their worst.
- Love googling & having half the page taken up by an AI response "The question isn't phrased clearly but I'll attempt to answer 🤓" No shit dunderhead I didn't ask a question, I searched keywords hoping to find the same result I would have gotten back in 2009 when Google worked.
- As goofy as it often was, there were instances of the hyper-realistic Western fantasy interpretation of Japanese RPGs actually landing.
- This might be based on my own nostalgia, but isn't half the fun of Oblivion watching a bunch of hilarious-looking NPCs with one of three potential voice actors interact with dysfunctional gameplay systems? If this is removed, I fear so too will the soul of Oblivion will be lost.The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake is reportedly real, and built in Unreal Engine 5. The remake is developed by Virtuos and will feature improvements to gameplay systems like stamina, blocking, and stealth in addition to remade visuals. (Source: mp1st.com/news/the-elder…)
- Konami's Castlevania collections are a great example of how the simplest QOL features enhance the value proposition of a re-release. Instead of punishing people for emulating, recognize that people love your games and give them a superior way to play them.
- I only trust GameFAQs walkthroughs written in 2005 by someone who constantly inserts sarcastic statements such as "are you having fun yet??" when talking about more difficult sections, and also punctuates everything with the :P face
