When did I say I was talking about the definition of a woman?

At what point did I say you as a centrist am saying that trans people don't exist?

The centrism fallacy:

A: I want B to be erased.

B: I want to exist. Fuck off.

Centrist: Now now don't be rude. Let's find some middle ground. A wants B to stop existing and we must respect all opinions. B, do you have a compelling and reasobable counter-argument for your right to exist? Be civil.

As a computer dothings maker, absolutely! I'd request a sketch or make one and ask if it fits the client's intention as the first step of any such project.

That should be enough to get started. It can be easier if you clarify a few things:

  • remove "Very simple user experience". It means nothing.
  • Mobile-friendly is fine, but you may intend "mobile first"? See it that feels right to you.
  • Draw sketches of the customer's UI, your UI, and the cleaners' UI. It may feel like a lot of work but trust me it's going to save ten times the effort in communication total.

Be prepared to spend at least 3000-5000 USD on this. Anyone offering less is not able to do the job.

"Waterfall process" is a curseword in software development for a reason.

To me it proves the person is thinks that a game can be created without prototyping and iteration. In addition to only doing 10% of the work, they are under the illusion that they have done 80% and completing it is just a rote exercise. They have also overdesigned untested features and mechanics which makes any iteration harder. I'd have to break their thing down and iterate over the parts with them while also explaining this to them.

It's just double worst.

I have even bigger aversions to anyone coming with "I have this fully specced Game Design Document"

The case studies, historical events, and intellectual movements discussed in the book all receive superficial treatment, and in general the content does not work in service of the argumentation.

That's how academics say "this book is racist horseshit"
