I'm not sad I'm not at gdc but I am sad i don't get to hang out with my friends 😔

Every year, #WhatAGameDevLooksLike is a highlight for me. I don’t post my picture because I’m a White cis male, and a lot of game dev looks like me.

But, I love, love, love all the people claiming their space. Y’all are awesome. Thanks for showing up.

I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible

Is your game good if you can't say a sentence that is comprehensible only to people who have played too many hours?

"Rivers are a recent innovation and change how I look at transit"

Now I feel like the meme where this sentence almost certainly came from but I'm dead serious. There is no joke, Qud is Parkourmenus

Heard the sentence "all games are menus or parkour" yesterday and I can't stop thinking about it. This shit post of a sentence is going to drive me insane with it's correctness.

Finding new terminal velocities for bullshit is the worst modern pastime.

Time is a flat circle because didn't MW2 have a level called Takedown that is about a spec ops team going on a rampage in south american favelas to grab someone? Real Life imitating call of duty feels like a bleak sign.

Imagine reading this before coffee and not seeing the quote and thinking to yourself "really learnin more about Cat this morning."

I feel like until I worked in game dev I never truly understood how funny any sentence starting with "why don't they just--" is

Calling it a "Festival of Gaming" as a different era compared to "Game Developer's Conference" tells me that there isn't a love of the craft at the heart of this. I have zero interest in what this might be now.

Damn that is an *excellent* point.

Are people more sane off the internet or just better at hiding it? Genuinely cannot tell any more.

Tormenting @malloryog.bsky.social by inventing drinking games about her choices in games is a sign of a healthy working relationship. Probably.

I'm trying to comment on this without being hyperbolic.

As a manager, insisting on deadlines that you and your ICs straight up don't believe are possible almost GUARANTEES that a) their work will be thrown out or completely redone and b) you will put them in danger of burning out.

The new doom is great but when firing the shotgun all I can hear is Steve Ballmer saying "Developers, Developers, Developers".

Plans for my flight home let's goooooooo. People I really respect have been talking about this and I am so stoked to check it out.

More games need to hire narrative designers to work alongside your systems designers. Literally making my life so much easier.

all I know is that so many people deserve better than this.

Damn, making games is so fucking cool.

My courage is boundless.

Me and @malloryog.bsky.social : "we're an idiot sandwich"

Get the idea of “good, sane, kind billionaire” out of your head. There is no way to become a billionaire without extreme exploitation and moral debasement. There is no and will never be a “good, sane, kind” billionaire.

I head home tomorrow at some point but haven't decided when yet. We can chat tomorrow!

Friends, if you thought the war thunder forums resulted in a lot of confidential leaks this is going to be so much worse.
