  • Is there a name for the phenomenon when a company or group has access to all of the metrics for a product or good then makes foolish decisions using that information?

    Right now Arrowhead can deflect all criticism of their actions by saying “we made this decision based on the numbers” while ignoring the fact that metrics aren’t magic numbers blindly meant to be followed, you are supposed to use them to discover underlying reasons for why those numbers exist in the first place.

    This patch is a big L for me and a bad omen for what is to come of this game if the devs are making their decisions like this.





  • I have only seen the first season. I went in knowing as much about the series as you, being aware that it is a popular franchise but knowing nothing else.

    I had my expectations pretty low when I started the first episode. The turning point for me was at the end of the episode when one of the main characters says “Baka, baka” after something completely stupid and ridiculous happens, that’s when my brain went “Oh it is OK to laugh at this, they are just being silly in this show.”

    Then the rest of the season was a goofy ride full of anime harem shenanigans. On a technical level, DAL isn’t really special, though the characters, character designs, absurdity of the setting and the OVA punch above their weight.
