@V0ldek@BlueMonday1984 Reading this list reminds me of a telling of Beauty and the Beast where she's exploring the castle and each room is more beautiful than the last.
Every item in this list is like wandering a fever dream where each room is more ridiculous than the last.
Easily 50% of this list is unthinkable if you know anything about what the job entails.
But I think "writers" stands out because you can almost see their logic because of video games, a creative industry currently in a death spiral because everything is homogeneous wallpaper paste. This is total "head in the sand" treatment of that, like AAA sales aren't plummeting and people aren't flocking to indies. I mean all's relative, but the conditions that let that happen do not exist for books and cannot be forced.
@teahands@gamedev A* ("A star") might be a friendly starting point. It's generally intended for square grids, but a little algebra to get the right distance for the angles might make it possible to extend to hexagons. Even if you don't end up using any part of it, just understanding it might help for fundamentals.
@german Winston from Overwatch. Sorry, but when he's got a whole POTG animation that's a big shot of his panting, spraying mouth and then they go "actually he was cleaning his glasses," BS, they KNEW what they were doing. Or at the very least they ASKED. XD
