It's President's Day in the US...

latest?cb=20160624165645

And as such many folks are [chat]ing from home...

Also I am not sure what else to put outside this is like my 5th [chat] in 2017.

May the substandard [chat]s continue.

(Also screw the Sox, go Cards!)

    I had to explain presidents day to soemoen from London this morning. He seemed satisfied that we were "celebrating the good ones" as he took my replacement order for dress shirts.

    Happy President's Day.

    can you feel the struggle within?

    I was woken by a telemarketer on President's Day, the first day I actually managed to not spontaneously and forcefully jolt awake at 5 am since surgery.

    definitely a telecommuting thread in that you did something in 2 minutes but are taking the rest of the afternoon pretending to work on it

    In Mazzy's defense, I was chosen as backup and mine would have been much worse and much more self-involved.

    The real terrible DC game was their blatant ripoff MOBA where they stole League's Dominion mode and Smite's item style wholesale, along with derivative heroes.

    But they also like... either couldn't get the rights to Actual Batman, or wanted to save him for some big reveal? So they just had like three alt universe batmen; victorian batman, steampunk batman, etc. It was dumb.

    It was made by turbine which is owned by warner brothers. They absolutely had the rights to batman

    I meant maybe they didn't get approval to use Actual Batman in a game where you ran around killing other heroes, or something.

    I think it was more they were saving him. That game was cancelled so fast. Like I remember the gobs of money they spent on booths at PAX then bam gone.

    It almost felt like some exec at WB was like "Turbine, you do those mmo games right? Make us a league of legends." And turbine was like "Well a MOBA isn't really what we've done before..".

    "LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. NOW."

    I think the biggest sign you're right is what I already mentioned; they released with only a Dominion mode while having clear laning skills/talents/items. So the possibilities are either:

    They tried to create a typical League style MOBA, couldn't get it playable, and tossed it in a Dominion shell hoping the frantic action hid the game's balancing issues.

    They started with a Dominion-like arena mode for testing purposes, still built laning talents as placeholders, and were rushed to get something playable so they went with polishing the testing Dominion-like arena.

    They were so bad at understanding MOBA design and so rushed to create content they blatantly copied/tweaked laning talents with no real goal in mind, despite intending to create an arena game from Day 1.

    None speak highly of the process behind the scenes.

    I think I'm falling into the camp of referring to trump as "45". Not my president doesn't deal with reality. "45" is just the right amount of shade.
