And this specifically introduces transactional boundaries, which can introduce a lot of complexity.
Especially in games where the domains (thus boundaries) may change a lot during development as the game design is being figured out.
CCPs previous FPS DUST514 also linked with EVE. All the resources were in the EVE economy and ships could perform orbital bombardments. Although it mostly demonstrated how horrible it is to try to intertwine two very different games together!
I worked with Oddur and Ivar there quite a few years ago now so am looking forward to SEED!
I originally bought a PS3 to play Dust 514, and only got to play for a few months before it got shut down. I really like the concept of different games sharing state and universe. I hope they eventually crack this nuts.
As if they were the only organizing events. There’s so many more „right“ events happening today organized by people who want nothing more than freedom and a common sense and truth loving government. Citing „AfD“ doesn’t do favor to all the other events today who don’t need vicinity to „AfD“. Today anyone who opposes the official perspectives is automatically „right“, isn’t he?
the berlin event was organized by the AfD, an ethno-nationalist party, under the motto "germany first". They are fishing in the social-liberal circles claiming to be in favor of freedom and truth, but they run a well oiled propaganda machine and would rule with an iron fist should they ever take power.
The key demand by the speakers on stage at the demonstration in Berlin is about stopping the sanctions against russia and buying cheap gas from the russian siloviki, who are the epitome of a totalitarian government.
Germans, stop buying gas from Russia, you Germans deserve politically correct gas! Buy correct American gas at ten times the price, shipped ecological friendly by Diesel ships from the US! Wait, that’s also not clean enough for you? Great, then wear 3 pullovers in your apartment, stop showering, stop sauna! No single German should support dirty gas! Turn off your heaters! And don’t go to these AfD-led demonstrations! Germans, do what’s best for you and the entire world. You Germans will save us all from the evil in this world. Yes, you can!
My experience is that in well-running teams, devs are usually pretty aligned what these numbers mean. A difference in proposed points for some task does then usually mean there's a discrepancy in knowledge about it.
As for its usefulness: You of course don't have to necessarily poker to get these discrepancies, but it's a pretty effective way of going about it, I'd say.
Small talk appears, on the surface, to have limited utility. With deeper study, though, it becomes clear that it is the impedance-matching that smooths the interaction between people.
There is a reason that almost everyone who works in deeply-human endeavors engages in it. It respects and acknowledges the humanity of interactions.
Just saying, "No." has a very different impact (and efficacy) than, "I respect and acknowledge you and your work, but that course of action simply isn't possible."
