ask me anything about art and games and stories and stuff... i am an open book... today
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Every “free” file converter online = your files sent to some random server.
So I made my own. Runs locally as an app on Mac, Windows and Linux.
Now 1,100 users use it for 3,742 types of conversions.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

Additional GDC tips:
- EAT. BREAKFAST.
- The after-lunch lie-down. This is THE strat. Go back to your hotel room for a bit. Charge your phone. Relax in the quiet. It'll help you power through the second half of the day.
- I don't drink in general, but I'm serious: consider not drinking at GDC.

- Never leave your drink unattended. If you do, throw it out, get a new one.
- If someone is being weird, SAY SO. “I don’t think this is appropriate for a professional conference.” 95% will back off.
- Buddy system esp. after dark!!! Don’t leave a friend alone!!!!
