30+ years in AAA game dev and the dysfunction is pervasive at large companies. If the C-suite could visualize the diminishing returns and massive opportunity costs of their own mismanagement, they’d have no choice but to fire themselves and deploy their golden parachutes.

I've been using Beeper for 3-4 months. I find it very useful, easy to use, and easy to setup. I use both the mobile app and the desktop app.
Re:Starfield’s 1k Planets May Be One Giant Leap for Game Design

I'll take you all back to 1986. Starflight was released. 270 star systems and 800+ planets. In Starflight, you have the freedom to visit any random planet, discover a collection of artifacts, select just one artifact to take, depart from the planet, spend an additional 20 hours exploring various other planets, engaging in battles, saving your progress, and more. Afterward, when you return to the same planet, you will encounter everything exactly as you left it, with the cluster of artifacts still intact, except for the one you previously took. You can't even do this in Starfield - perhaps from a glitch or something else, scenes can reset, loot can respawn.

You wouldn't know by chance what brand/model you are using?

Hopefully, the hospital won't put a lien on your home. Some states allow them to do that.
