This is supercool, a real-world validation of the Belyayev Russian Fox experiments. But also the raccoons at my house seem to be getting more and more thuggish, so I dunno.

Really weird that "Extremist" hateful content by default is on the "warn" setting while rudeness is entirely hidden
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Also because I saw this on LinkedIn and you’re gonna get a lot of math for responses:
If a client wants a minute of animatic, think about how long that animatic will take to make, add two buffer days, give them a day rate.
If that math is below a thousand dollars, up your day rate.

Gamedev friends, this is more proof that we are not to blame for the current state of our industry.
These are the same executives that follow every trend blindly and ignorantly.

What a shitshow.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

There is an infantilization of Greta in some online discussions that really bothers me, and though I am finding I have a weird time trying to explain why I am so bothered, I think it boils to: Neuro-divergent people are not inherently more naive, more innocent, more righteous, or more childlike.
