How fast do I need to nerd, to be a turbo nerd?

I often refer to my push bike as a twin turbo because of because of the engines pushing it... Do I qualify?

jobbo, you do not undestand joke development. it's super-cool to do those “everyone else“ vs “me“ meme-jokes.
but lets hear out data from star trekizen about the essence of humor:

A joke is "a witticism, a gag, a bon mot, a fluctuation of words concluding with a trick ending." (TNG: "The Outrageous Okona") It can also be described as "a story with a humorous climax." (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) Or as "a verbal comment or gesture designed to provoke laughter." (VOY: "Drone").

here is data's try on stand-up comedy:

"This gentleman went to see his surgeon and was informed that he needed an operation.
The man thought about that and then said, "I would like a second opinion."
The doctor said, "Okay, you are ugly too"."

thats pretty funny if you ask me (which you didnt). but lets have a look at the vulcans.

According to Leonard McCoy, Vulcans don't tell jokes. (TAS: "Yesteryear"). In 2268, Ensign Pavel Chekov reported that the Enterprise would be only one parsec away from a Klingon outpost, "close enough to smell them". As Commander Spock explained that odours cannot travel through the vacuum of space, Chekov claimed it was "just a little joke". Spock replied, "Extremely little".

Overwatch 2? That's a gamble. The first game is still going strong and people have a lot of time and money invested in it. I wonder how many will move to the new version. They risk fracturing the playerbase.

A couple of people in the /r/sc thread pulling the "AAA devs just pumping out rubbish" line.

I wonder in what reality these people live? There is always trash being pushed out, always has been, including some trash pushed out by CR in his time, but there are also many great games being actually released every year, both by AAA and indie devs. Meanwhile, CIG, number of delivered games: 0.

It might be Overwatch 2[.0] reason being Overwatch 1 will be getting all the new modes while 2 is just the PVE stuff.

In the end it might just be a gated DLC like Destiny2 Shadowkeep

Thanks. They have done PvE modes for a while now. As i recall, didn't Overwatch actually start out life as a PvE during its design phase but then they switched to making it a PvP game?

Also like Fortnite, which started out as a PvE game but then they jumped on the Battle Royale bandwagon (which worked out very well for them).

I suspect things come full circle though, as people tend to move on to the next big thing in PvP sooner or later, and i guess both Fortnite (which recently added bots to Battle Royale) and Overwatch have seen player attrition, so need to focus on a PvE experience to keep people playing as the harcore PvPers move on.

For me as a (Fortnite) Save the World player, this gives me some hope that Epic will start paying more attention to its red headed stepchild.

Kind of? When Blizzard cancelled development on their MMO codenamed Titan they stripped the design team down to a skeleton crew and said "find something to do with the assets we've paid for or you're back on WoW duty", and that something was the prototype for Overwatch. Overwatch was always explicitly a PvP Team Fortress game, but it has models and supposedly some story elements that date back to an entirely different game.

Yeah, Nintendo is a AAA dev and publisher, and it has but out a ton of good stuff, and as someone who grew up in a nintendo-only household, the idea that AAA devs are universally trash is baffling.

I think the Japanese AAA devs are nonexistent to these guys based on their complaints.

:lol:

But i just can't call chris a producer... He produces nothing.

The actual job of producing and making sure everyone else works together to produce something he clearly dosent do...

Even if his job was technical debt producer there would be some coke fuled sweaty excuse, where he absolves him self for not making any technical debt but it's all right around the corner, he just needs a few more weeks to finish implementing collatoralised technical debt obligations. Then all the technical debt will accrue much faster.

Because these people don't look at the reasons why a game is being criticized. If you asked any of them why No Mans Sky was being raked over the coals when it was released and why it's now being praised by those same, they couldn't tell you even after they googled for 5 hours.

They don't read peoples criticism of Star Citizen, Derek Smart doesn't have to mentioned nothing of the latest broken poo poo in the game but the moment you say something about it, they just bring up Derek as if it's some sort of gotcha card.
