Before I give an update on my state of rapture, were we all supposed to be yeeted at the same time or is it going by timezones?

What I don't really get is who is this GDC for? It feels like it's trying to target everyone and no one at the same time. And maybe I'm nitpicking, but the event deck really should be reorganized. Some of the most crucial information is towards the end. They should have led with the pricing change!

What I don't necessarily understand is the change to "festival". I enjoy a good party, but I'm not going to GDC to have a party. I'm going to network with other professionals, support indie developers, and hopefully have some sort of professional development and/or sharing of knowledge with peers.

This feels like a response to the feedback that most attendees found the activations happening around GDC more beneficial than the conference itself. It's also likely a required pivot (to some degree) due to the way the event paywalled so many developers out of being able to attend for years.

And tell me why titles have ZERO consistency across all these companies. Sometimes I can't even find roles that fit me because it's hidden behind some completely different title.

The whole thing is exhausting, fr.

Been job hunting lately and it's killing me how roles are now 3-in-1. Community Manager AKA social media manager, video editor, graphic artist, marketing specialist, copywriter, voice actor and streamer. They expect you to have 5+ years experience, yet you're only getting entry level pay. 😭

I went from having no creative brain power to having 3 different ideas. I need to pick one to hyper focus on before the motivation leaves me, but WHICH TO CHOOSE??

I wish I could remove some old information from my head to make space for new. There's so much useless knowledge taking space up in there.

It's so funny that I can remember things from kindergarten still. Like how I had a pretend band with two friends and we called ourselves the Kitty Kat Rumble Band.

But if you asked me what I ate the last three days? 😂 I got nothin'!

Also I'm working on some activations for GDC and DreamCon, so don't think for a moment that this train is gonna stop. Derailed for a bit, sure, but still truckin' on. ✌️

I'm definitely looking for my next adventure in gaming, but I'm also really enjoying having a bit of time to rest. It's been fun reconnecting with my hobbies! Already signed up for a game jam and one of the Indie Game Academy courses.
