just so you guys know theres a new trend in design focusing on shapes that are a little more naturally formed.

it’s sad that “skeuomorphism” has become synonymous with tacky textures and decorations when it really just means that, say, a button has depth and looks like a button that you could press irl

carry on then posted:i'd bet it has something to do with creating those kinds of icons requires paying talented designers and teaching them how to achieve the exact visual style that's consistent with everything else. if everything is just flat shaded 2d shapes you can farm that out to fiverr. see also that corporate "whimsical" illustration style where everyone has massive legs am I misremembering or was there an iOS release where the advertising department designed all the new app logos?

making good icons is so difficult it should be considered its own specialization, one of the best teams I ever worked on we had a guy who spent like 90% of his time on icons and it was wonderful

as someone who has used anroid and actually liked a few things about the stock version on pixels, those themed icons are absolutely indefensible

Instead, you grab a throw pillow and sit on the floor. At least, that would be what I would do if I actually wanted to watch the tv and maybe connect the ouya to it.

it's a lot like that scene in MiB where will smith moves the table so that he could actually write on the exam... the whole thing is a test. The egg chair is for display only.

the article raises the question of "why?" they have no advantage in any sense over anyone else competing in the space and google has no experience or interest in providing gaming products. it was a half-baked idea they completely failed to execute on, so why keep it around at all?

FMguru posted:i thought the real problem with stadia was the difficulty in convincing publishers to pour resources into supporting a platform that, if successful, would become a powerful competitor I liked this part quote:The most damning evidence in support of that thesis is Google's mismanagement of Stadia's first and only in-house game studio, the Stadia Games & Entertainment division. At the Stadia announcement, SG&E was charged with creating exclusive first-party games and working with third parties to bring "bleeding-edge Google technology" to partner studios. They're a bunch of idiot children with smartest boy in the room syndrome who assume they know everything and are automatically the best at anything they do and yes my monitor is on. Google has way too much money for it to ever happen, but I would love to see them get monster cabled Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Feb 16, 2022 |
