Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.
Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as βinsurrectionβ with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

Being a columnist is so cool. You can have absolutely no experience whatsoever and still drop whatever takes you want. Serve in the military? No? Work in natsec? No? Have an academic background in defense? No? Have any government experience at all? No?
Who cares! Fire that column off anyways!

Been talking about this trend for years when it comes to games spending. Why are there premium gamepads, $149 collector's editions, Pro consoles and general rising prices? Because the price-insensitive, affluent players are the ones doing more of the spending as everyone else shifts more to f2p.

A blue square promotional template for GCAP that shows a woman with pale skin and open brown hair in a black shirt smiling at the camera. To her left is the title βUnsaved Progress Will Be Lost: Why the Game Industry Forgot How to Make Video Games and How to Fix Itβ, along with text beneath it in different fonts that say: Institutional Knowledge!!!!!, Has the game industry lost its mind??, Layoffs/Bureaucracy/Burnout/You Name It We Got It!, and Letβs get into it!

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about βinfightingβ on the left arenβt aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear whatβs actually being said.

Look, having 42% of a game's data be total fuckin' nonsense that cannot be interpreted by the engine OR the developers is probably fine.

Whenever I use spreadsheets to track/edit data & balance for multi-million dollar games I definitely do it because I don't want to be very accurate. Close enough is good enough, especially when using it to export data to a game engine. Feeding it improperly formatted data never causes massive issues
