This is the longest gap in employment I’ve ever had. About 6 weeks. Luckily between the severance, savings, and low debt I was really able to take time to find just the right opportunity.

Excited to announce I’m joining PeopleFun as Principal Technical Game Designer! 🎮 Looking forward to working on innovative mobile games and bringing fresh experiences to players. Can’t wait to dive into what’s next! #GameDev #MobileGames

What do you do after getting laid off? Go camping! The mountains agree with me. I may never leave!

There’s always one bug that only reproduces on my machine. 🤣

I love to mix the lemonade and tea flavor. Or lemonade in Topo Chico.

Here are some of the public lands that would be sold off in the Pacific Northwest under the Republican tax bill.

We must stop the reckless pillaging of these national treasures.

Found this picture of me at the bookstore.

Totally agree with you here!

I didn’t say they should pay extra. And Dean didn’t say they were in the same building. He said they are at the exact address where his studio formerly existed. Unity assumed it was the same company.

And I’ll say again, I wish Unity wasn’t so quick to terminate their users account.

If you pick comfort the next screen asks the AC temp and radio volume. And it’s supposed to be a nicer car. I only pick comfort for the long haul to the airport when it’s expensed.

The design and lighting of the PS cover, but with the DC controller. 😅

Oh yeah I agree with you. I think this happened at my former studio too before we had an IT dept to do regular software audits.

My previous comment was about the Reddit title. I don’t believe it was scraped data.

I meant “…not start…”

None of it seems like scraped info. Just info the users entered themselves into their Unity profiles.

Still Unity can handle this better and immediately start with terminations.

1 person signed up for a personal account with a work email. 1 person signed up for a personal account with a personal email but put their company name. 1 person is a contractor that probably opened other contract projects without signing out. And two work at an old address he admitted not updating.

In Brazil this week for Gamescom LATAM! I’ve got a hangout crew of all new friends. Can’t wait for the convention to get started!

Just sunbathing with my friends. Soaking up those negative ions.

I'm delighted to have been selected as a judge for the Ukie Student Game Jam 2025! It's an honor to evaluate the creativity and dedication showcased. I appreciate the focus and effort that goes into game jam submissions and promise to review each one with the thoughtful consideration it deserves.

Good point! Something like this T shape would be more universal.

If they didn’t blow into a reproduction of a velociraptor’s resonating chamber, was it even a dinosaur tour?

This Steam Deck mount looks silly, but greatly reduces the risk of dropping Valve's handheld on your face while gaming in bed Bedtime gaming sees most significant upgrade since hot chocolate and a podcast.

It’s a known issue. I’ve been considering 3D printing something like this:

Former professional opera singer! That’s pretty cool! My job before game dev was professional cheesesteak developer. 🤣

The game’s executable more than likely doesn’t have the write permissions to the install folder. So that leaves the user/%AppData% folder or the user/Documents folder. If you want the user to be able to back up their save games, the Documents folder is easier for them to find.

I came up with an exciting game idea in 2023. A couple months ago I started putting a couple hours a day into it. I’m not ready to share art or details, but I’ve got the whole story and character concepts done! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

I’ve been a YouTube channel called The Tape Library. It’s stories about hauntings and weird events. Somehow it helps me get to sleep.

Nice! Is that glow it the dark? 🤣

I got some new knives for my collection too. Each one is $25+ on Amazon, but I got the pack for $10 at Sam’s Club! The silver one is kinda dangerous, but the red one is perfect.

Oh yeah, I like using Figma for flow charts and UI mock ups. I’m not sure that’s free though.

Notion, it’s pretty great. I’m use it for writing my game dev docs and D&D campaigns. It can be overwhelming at first, so it’s good to watch some YouTube vids on page formatting and databases.

Is there an example feed with ads? I think game dev related ads are fine, maybe even welcome. I learned about Game Devs of Color and Gamescom LatAm through ads on LinkedIn. But they were clearly labeled as ads.

How would your approach building a 2D Player Controller differ if you had 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day? We asked @mikegeig.bsky.social and we'll be learning how to to adapt to time constraints in our new livestream series - Crunch Time! Join us LIVE on Feb 20 at 9am PT / 5pm GMT: shorturl.at/7kPnT
