Spoiling the crap out of my favorite interview in ages because I need everyone to read what Sean Murray said about No Man's Sky www.gamesradar.com/games/surviv...
Reading (and writing) recent headlines re: layoffs, I want to spotlight this quote from Iconoclasts maker Joakim Sandberg @konjak.org , who, in his argument on the dangers of gen AI, also highlights a recurring, destructive mindset among the people overseeing the people who actually make games.

Absolutely brutal T10 clear in Monster Train 2 tonight. The big Hydra lad applies 20 Corruption on hit, so by the end of the fight the boss was taking 1040 a turn in DoT. Tier 8 took me several tries, but T9 and T10 I got first try. At last I am free to grind T6 for tribe levels in peace.
