people pay thousands in conference fees, hotels and flights,

to see a talk on something that doesn't work,

that is also being used to justify firing them.

Not sure what to write about? Here are some ideas for #notGDC

Did you see/hear something cool in a game you played, that others may have missed?

Do you have a favourite technique in your discipline?

Is there a tool that you wish existed? What do you do to work around it right now?

#notGDC was pretty late notice this year. To give people more time to make stuff, we could make it longer?

We created a vote on the Discord,
A) Keep notGDC just during next week.
B) Make notGDC all of the month of March.

What does everyone think?

Now more than ever we need somewhere to share knowledge.

A place free from AI zealots, and late-stage rapacious capitalism.

A place that is safe to travel to without the threat of detention and state violence.

*music swells*
