Tornhelm posted:Who knows if his editors will post it, but Asmongold reacted to the LTT stuff on his last stream, so if they do things will flare up a bit. The Asmongold effect on the Youtube algorithm is ridiculous. (Not sure if I want to watch it myself. Most clips I've seen are him hollering about things like a drunk monkey.)

I've watched a two hour video essay on Ghost Recon Wildlands, a three hour essay on the Sierra simulation-strategy game Outpost from the 1990s, and a five hour essay on survival-horror game The Forest, but those were actually good

I enjoy Tim Rogers' style but I can't bother watching the ones on some Japanese game I'd never heard of and isn't something I'd be interested in.. Although when I have tried it has worked great in just putting me to sleep because he has a very soothing voice.

If we're listing our favorite super-long videos, Noah Caldwell-Gervais's travelogues are excellent. His Lincoln Highway video is worth all 7.5 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmFQR0IltDQ

Tokimeki Memorial, though you've never heard of it and don't care to play it, has probably influenced some of your favorite games in ways you couldn't even imagine.

Yeah that’s the one I tried (twice!) and couldn’t make it past 45 minutes either time (2nd time continuing from about where I left off) without dropping off. Gave him him 2 full views for the view count though

A lot of what happens in startup culture is textbook Peter Principle. Bootstrapping, crunching early employees with poor senses of what is reasonable get promoted into management because they’ve been around the longest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle quote:The Peter principle states that a person who is competent at their job will earn a promotion to a position that requires different skills. If the promoted person lacks the skills required for the new role, they will be incompetent at the new level, and will not be promoted again. Though with modern startups a lot of these people get promoted far beyond their abilities and stay there because of internal relationships and career momentum. The best example comes from Blizzard and their struggles with getting D4 off the ground. That entire project was a death march from day one because it was run by well like producers from WoW who had no real management and project management experience. It was only after they left that things got on track https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/12/08/diablo-iv-release-date-crunch/ quote:“Diablo IV” initially began development over five years ago. Under the leadership of director Luis Barriga alongside lead designer Jesse McCree, employees described a sense of inertia as large parts of the game would be worked on and then revamped and decisions stalled out. A battle royale mode for the game was discarded early on. McCree and Barriga did not respond to a request for comment. And they both left after overlooking sexual harassment and a frat boy culture on their teams Sigma fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Aug 17, 2023 |

Businesses, especially smaller ones, are cursed by the view that you "have to" reach management or your compensation hits a ceiling. So people that don't want to or don't know how to get promoted to management, and often there's not anyone in a position of authority able to realize the managers are terrible at it. By the time that's figured out, the original ones can't be unseated, because that would be "demoting" them and they have seniority. I 100% believe LMG is well on this path and there's never an easy way out without upending the entire company.

wargames posted:Only thing here i disagree with is making GBS threads on people under 30 being in management positions, the whole you need to be 50+ is a loving boomerism and we need to put younger people in a position of authority to learn. It's perfectly possible to have good managers under 30, but less likely. Especially when - in LTT's case - a lot of the people who work there, and are now in senior management positions (i.e. managing managers) have no experience or training at being a manager outside of at a single place of employment. This traditionally makes for lovely managers. I've had several, and been one myself. Managing a team of people who individually do job X, most of the time, requires experience at doing job X. Managing managers requires experience of being a manager yourself, and usually, senior managers should have got that experience in multiple places working in multiple ways, with a breadth of experience dealing with a variety of processes, cultures and "HR-related situations". None of which most of senior management at LTT really have. You don't need to be 50+. But you do need to have a breadth of experience to do it well. making GBS threads on the value of experience is a horrible idea.

mobby_6kl posted:I don't know this guy but at 1:20 he says the self-harm was not a rational choice He immediately follows up by responding to someone who claimed Madison's workload wasn't that bad with the reasoning she would have come up with to self-harm. Self harm is never a rational decision when looking at it with hard and cold logic, but in the middle of some poo poo it might seem like the only way to get a break, which is what Asmon appears to be saying in the segment.
