Strange, not in FireFox it seems.

[edit] comes broke but with a lightly different thing using Edge as well ( shows a sort of IMG icon ).

- this
- and THIS
- and THAT
- and can you add this
- and that
- and we should change this
- and we'd like to have ...

( and that thing that months ago I did ask you if you wanted you never replied NOW you want it .. )

<italian moment>
CAZZI ! RAZZI ! SPAZIALI !
</italian moment>

.. back to work ..

CHE PALLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ( to test UI stuff )

Log in, log out, press that button, select that shit, what if this does not work ? What if the user is allowed to do this but not that ? Have you checked that menu ? Have you checked that operation ? Did you report a correct error msg ? Did you use the proper TERMINOLOGY ? Have you verified the colours ? The correct shape ? Is it "Button A" or "A Button" or are you allowed to say simply "Press A" ?

.. and I still have to verify on thing about "volume" and "that boot animation" ...

"Me casca i coioni" ...

The thing is I don't even think you could ever automate any of all this .. how could you ?

[edit] - unless maybe you'd have "something statistical" that does "random inputs" and see if any of that causes a crash, but that would be a crash test not a "functionality test" , you'd still need "a pretty complex script" to do things and/or "record a fuckload of macros" but still you'd need something to programmatically fire them up ...

And then 'how could you possibly" without having a human see what happens "understand if the action does the wanted result ?".

Without going into specifics, were sales of Llamasoft titles on PSVR enough to justify support for the upcoming PSVR2?

Maybe the question you should ask is "were sales of Llamasoft titles on PSVR enough to justify support for the upcoming PSVR2?" ...

We did not do "too bad" and you know that "generally" all the new stuff we do will be made to work WITH AND WITHOUT VR (*)

Sales .. are a funny thing ... really "funny" .. can only say with a lot of truth "NEVER as anyone would like/thinks/hopes them to be" .. we are still going, we are still making sw .. can't say we are any "richer" or "in a comfy position" .. we are always "in the line of fire" .. VR is a "funny market" as well said that, I am not really a big "marketing expert" .. but it's definitely not an easy one, well NOTHING is easy ...

I suppose it's a bit like "everywhere" some found "the magic title" that made them "millions" ( I SUPPOSE, I don't know the truth ) .. and others just don't ...

But yeah, as long as we are alive and we can put hands on certain tech we'll try to do the best.

(*) EXCEPT when *SPECIFICALLY ASKED NOT TO* ... (**) "we have to follow the rules" ..






(**) T4K IN VR DID EXIST, AND IT WAS ULTRABLASTING AMAZING !! I had to REMOVE all the VR by request !

[gilesgoat]

ALMOST THERE ..

I need to fix a few "glitches" ( the changed the name of the CEO ? and removed someone ? ) .. "add some name there" .. "add another here "... "fix that symbol there" ..

But yeah getting there ..

"The devil is ALWAYS in the details".

[gilesgoat]

<annoyed>
DUE PALLE SPAZIALI !
</annoyed>

.. how comes that "over 50% of time" of "making a console game" goes into "fixing MINOR - but still important - UI crap" many of which have ZERO functionality about the game itself ( but do have for "system things" ? ) ...

.. the name of that person .. the title of that other .. "add this thing" .. "I don't like that icon, change that look" .. "no that thing says X we should say Y" .. "I am not sure about that legal line" ...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH ...

"Necessary evil" ...

[edit] ah yes "what about that rating ? Do we need that other ? " "what about that marketing issue ( I don't know a shit about ?) " .. "what about that metadata I am not sure ?" .. etc. ...

[Jamesac]

...

[edit] ah yes "what about that rating ? ...

Depends on how much swearing and other rude bits are hidden in the code, I'm thinking.

[gilesgoat]

Here we go again ...

.. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. forms .. ( different forms this time ) ...

I live ... "in the constant fear" of "I hope I am doing right what I am doing" ..

Am I SURE of what I am doing ? OH HECK NO I AM NOT .. it's all new to me ...

[gilesgoat]

Just to let you know "I am still in between that 'FORMS PHASE' " .. actually now I am with a "strange" checklist of things to check and .. trying to check them ..

IT'S PARANOIA !

That's the part where "I wish I could be so rich to be able to pay someone else to do it"

I guess part of this problem is when you get here you are already SO WORN OUT and STRESSED and still "mega stressed thinking NOT to do anything wrong" that all this stuff is "soul destroying" ..

Anyway going throught ..

[gilesgoat]

... re-update ..

"I don't understand any more a shit of what I am reading" ..

Boys if this thing is mega confusing ...

Firmware version ... xyz .. but mine is not that .. ok I go to change/upgrade/etc.. "but I cannot find the version listed there" ...

SDK version .. I am not sure .. they don't talk about it ...

Something else version .. where in the fuck I read/see/know about what version is that "something else" .. again listed in a way "I never seen before" ..

Other versions listed "with numbers never seen" ...

.. is that what you want ?? .. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT ??!!



... wtf you want ? I don't understand it ...

[gilesgoat]

Mini update ... "I am running some certification tests" and trying to learn how "the process" works ...

.. it's PARANOIA/SOUL destroying .. check this .. check that .. have you filled that field ? Are you sure you put correct values in it ( NO ! ) ?

.. I really really really HATE this phase ...

[gilesgoat]

FRUSTRATION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS !!!!

Ok maybe suffering a bit from "Xmas inertia" .. fully back to work today .. in a "I hate my life" stage

I am still doing "conformity tests" and I am in a stage of "I strafucking HATE consoles" .. "why they event invent 'online crap' if it does that SO MUCH TESTING for 'shitty things' ? " ...

I am maybe "getting too old for this ( testing )" .. I CAN'T STAND this time-consuming testing any more .. it rips off my soul ..

My balls are falling on the floor ...

I hate all this phase, I really do .. SO MUCH SOUL DESTROYING ! ...
