interesting phenomenon where twitter and youtube (my two primary art posting circles for a decade) have horrible discoverability despite doing everything right. I impulse post my stuff on TikTok and insta at random points in the day and regularly go viral… or at least my followers see… lol

Layoffs wreck studios. Institutional knowledge is SO valuable in the games industry. When you eventually replace that laid off employee, I don’t care if they’ve got 30 years of experience and dozens of games under their belt. They still have to learn the pipeline, the software, the systems.
