Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us'

It’s part of a million little discipline things that will make your life better for an insignificant cost. But it’s also not a big deal and if you start caring about that then you should also care about all the other things that “should already be the standard by most devs”. And then where will you find the time and energy to punch above your weight class and release a masterpiece ? When you engage in that sort of task, you always have to neglect stuff that “should be the standard”. It’s cool and people should be cool about it IMO. Nobody’s gonna love you for being super rigorous about your file naming schemes and never being lazy, they’ll love you cause you have good ideas and work them hard.
I don’t find it nice when the internet is always back-seating every little aspect of what creators do, and being super demanding as if they were a mega corp with infinite resource and not a small group of every day people trying their really best to push out something great in a reasonable time-frame while not burning out. Maybe that’s not what you’re doing, man, it’s just one of my pet peeves.

The argument is one of craft, discipline, and rigor at a certain point.
This is just sloppy craftsmanship.
You either take your craft seriously or it’s just commodity. You eventually have to lean into one over the other.

I guess that’s where we disagree. I’d rather have sloppy talented bastards than little robots. One Kurt Cobain over a million Joe Satrianis, any time of the year. It’s okay, there’s room for both, but I don’t find it reasonable to expect both from the same person.
