Had never heard of Shedletsky so I had to look him up. Turns out he was former creative director for Roblox. That's it. That's his grand claim for being a Master of the Modern World. Dude, I did some quality assurance on the original CIVILIZATION, but it doesn't make me fucking Galactus. - ThreadSky

To be fair, Civilization isn't designed to exploit children for free labor and money, so he's got you beat on practical experience at being a terrible human being.

People Make Games' video on Roblox was eye opening and terrifying.

hummingbirdsound.bsky.social•16 days ago

I am so sick of these morons.

electricmaenad.bsky.social•15 days ago

Roblox is a shitty knockoff of Minecraft and it's full of creeps. Ze boy has confirmed this.

I use JIRA, do I get a fiefdom ?

bobbycorwin.bsky.social•16 days ago

I use JIRA, you're entitled to grief counseling

Oh my sweet Jesus.

So many of my catapults smashed so many phalanxes. Thank you 🙇

I was a game designer for Microprose at the time, but the 16 bit edition masters were due for submission and QA was overwhelmed, so I got roped in. I'm guessing you probably played the PC version, but I'll selflessly accept your thanks on behalf of the team nevertheless. Thank you!

You’re welcome!

Also, you are now a veritable god and deserve to run the world. Please be in charge of air traffic control.

This video backs it up.

Hmmm … By his logic though, as one of his on stage assistants I co-starred with Derren Brown on his Broadway show in 2019.

Wonderful! This is going to be so helpful!

It’s so intensely cringe.

>Worked on a game that is about taking over the world

>"No, I swear I'm not scheming to take over the world!"

Ah hah! All the pieces of the puzzle are coming together!

twintremere.bsky.social•14 days ago

Oh sht, I just realized who that is... Wow

thepaladinjournal.bsky.social•16 days ago

I did some one-off beta-testing for the game World of Conflict before it was released. That makes me qualified to run a nation's military right?

tubbles.bsky.social•14 days ago

Civilization 1 was one of my favorite games as a kid, so I just wanted to give you kudos for being part of making it happen.

mrkhagol.bsky.social•16 days ago

The amount of arrogance these 'dudes' have is just 🙄

pseudandry.bsky.social•16 days ago

Creative director for the place where everyone has to upload their own assets if they don't want stuff to look like shitty minecraft? Wow give him the keys to the kingdom

bobbycorwin.bsky.social•16 days ago

That actually does sound like a politician ☠️☠️

hesews.bsky.social•16 days ago

Let him try to fix his own plumbing.

magnusboi.bsky.social•14 days ago

but it could tho

twifferthegnu.bsky.social•16 days ago

isn't that the game where 7yr olds stand on a block and make fake money?

mewjam.bsky.social•16 days ago

not just that! they are also targeted with rampant sexual grooming

mandalee.bsky.social•16 days ago

Allllll of these boys need to be informed in no uncertain terms that they are nowhere near as smart, capable or impressive as they've been told they are.

katieherself.bsky.social•16 days ago

I think they're all headed for jail. This is not a video game.

bobbycorwin.bsky.social•16 days ago

In a just world

mandalee.bsky.social•16 days ago

🤞🤞

songya6793.bsky.social•16 days ago

The current world would literally be better if you are galactus😩

jonathanlhoward.bsky.social•16 days ago

I dunno. I mean, I like planets, but I'm not sure I could eat a whole one.

kentonagbone.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wait so it's your fault Gandhi goes apeshit?

jonathanlhoward.bsky.social•16 days ago

Fault? No, that's deliberate and historically accurate. Gandhi was the first Mongol warlord, whose hordes swept across the steppes of Asia and no wait that was Genghis. Ah. Oops.
I wonder if it's too late to patch it?

chhopsky.tv•16 days ago

i should be in charge of everything

bitwisebear.bsky.social•16 days ago

Ahhh the powers of being a sociopath.

I worked on Halo, I deserve to be Admiral of Space Force lol 😂
