Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

I don't watch a lot of TV on purpose. I'm saving myself so that my future wife can share all her favourite shows with me for the first time. I will tell her I love them even when I don't really because no matter how bad the show is, it will always remind me of her.

About ~70% of the way through Harold Halibut I thought the game would leave no lasting impression on me but recently I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

Why were there gender-balanced teams at Sega in the late 80s, and why was this never the case again afterwards? I also provide a chronology of the industry's pioneers in Japan, while addressing the issue of gender discrimination, before discussing working conditions more broadly in a later chapter.

Bonus post to end the week: If you are a graphics programmer do yourself a favor and get a MIDI board. It makes the work way more tactile and fun. Full props to Matt and @aaronmjacobs.com for getting me on the MIDI train. :)

I look at every game released on Steam every day and it is still equally as difficult as it was before to find the games that are worth my limited time.
