@SnapItsAndrea truth
@GamerPerfection Yea it was a stretch goal we weren't able to make. It almost didn't make it last year but I kept pushing. Out of bandwidth for this year though.
I told management that the community told me the Community Crunch with TLC details can wait until next week.
Ok, ok, ok... it's coming soon ™. An hour or so.

@M0nztr @NotDollie For sure. But trolls won't always be trolls. I've converted a troll or two. So my belief is that while we can't stop trolls, some trolls will stop. Some people learn and some people grow. And if enough trolls stop, it's a drastically different environment for the remaining.
@NotDollie We also have to get away from this "get used to it" narrative. Yes, coming into this industry you have to be aware of it, but things never progress if we just accept the status quo of "trolls will be trolls". Nah, we can do better.
@M0nztr For some, yes. Other factors contribute to high turnover in the Industry (like crunch culture) but, for forward-facing devs, this does wear some people down.
@hawksfan12th If reposting it makes a couple of rage babies think about the toxicity they consume and regurgitate, it's worth it.
It's okay not to like a game. If you don't, consider just...moving on
Being critical...sharing why you don't enjoy something is fine. Lingering to harass, calling out the dev, personal attacks, or just talking sh*t is not.
but the culture is so toxic that being candid in public is painting a target on your back
game devs want to talk about what we do, we love to share the challenges we face, the shortcuts we take, the way our pipelines work...but it's rarely worth it
@NotDollie They gotta keep an extra side of #PositiveVibes. 💪 But honestly, no excuse for this.
Despite the fact a minority of gamers conduct themselves in this way, it's relatively prevalent in Game Dev.
This is one of the reasons (especially forward-facing) Game Dev's burn out and switch careers.
The gaming community wants Devs to be more candid...
@MargroumT @ComplexMinded Congrats, I've seen a lot over the years and that was up there with the worst. Step outside every now and then.

@Morbid_Avenger
@MargroumT It's a game bro, taking it to insults about a person's parents is just immature.
@MargroumT Imagine stooping that low. Congrats.
@jono_wilko @NotDollie all love ❤
@J0K3RGaNg @ComplexMinded oh man...
