Added another social media to the roster. I don't have the energy to split personal and work anymore, so it'll be 50/50 jira jokes/elder scrolls lore.

The whole "civil war was about states rights" thing.
If you grew up in the United States, what's one thing that you learned in history class that you later learned was just propaganda?

The strike rules exclude the Interactive Media Agreement, so video games are safe. https://t.co/cp0wSSDJLP
This also delays a bunch of videogames, right? Like, actors can’t do mocap and voice recording? So both films and some games development will shut down or get delayed because of this?

Shipping is one of the most difficult parts of making a game. Making prototypes and systems is rad, and it’s cool there’s so many resources now, but the tenacity to bring them to an audience is itself a core skill. The “cutting room” is where the hardest decisions are made.
a lot of “how to mak an game” influencers on youtubes have very little experience actually shipping a game but lots of experience tinkering with the cool parts. the irony is that they teach not how to make a game but how to make the same nowhere-bound project they are mired in

To add on to this, that’s a burnrate of around 15.2K per head per month,or 3 MILLION a month. These are pretty standard numbers for AAA/A. So if you ever wonder “why can’t developer X just push back a release date,” the answer is this. Delays are EXPENSIVE.

Of the people I've hired for last 4 years: Most: concept art, writing, production. Least: vfx, combat design, tech art, any engineering that isn't gameplay (graphics, AI, tools, etc.) (Also something to be said about total applicants vs qualified applicants...)

Pro tip go this anon, and every other candidate: "Everyone currently doing the job is doing it badly, but I can do it well" is not an appealing attitude in a prospective coworker.

My real favorite ship is still under NDA, so I doodled something I can talk about. (Shoutout to our cine director @Sentmassen who did the pose)

The beautiful thing about designers is that they will find a way to make it work. The terrifying thing about designers is that they will find a way to make it work.

Sure, you could post on Stack Overflow, OR pay 10% of your salary for a 20 person off-broadway production of "cryptodaddy47, You Are Wrong About C Pointers (and Everything Else)"
