You're right, I could play that indie game I've been meaning to get to. Or I could lose the next 6-months of my life to another live service action-rpg-looter-shooter. Choices are hard.

This was honestly the toughest and best lesson I had to learn coming from a different field. Game dev has so many competing priorities and it's easy to tunnel vision on your area of responsibility.
I think the biggest lesson I've learnt in game dev is knowing which hills to die on. There will be hills daily. Ideas and features you believe in are numerous but they all won't fit in the product.

If you fight on every hill you will be exhausted and you will annoy people. Pick you hills with care.

Garrus is my favourite dog on the Citadel. Oh and David is a great game dev too.
Hello. I am David. I am a Game Designer. I like to study history and I am an RTS sicko. Here is my dog. His name is Garrus Barkarian.

Successful evening teaching Magic the Gathering with the new beginner box. The design of the tutorial game is really clever and my partner picked up the basics incredibly quick!

Honestly never thought F1 and Liberty Media would let this deal through. Wild times to be an F1 fan.

A story in three parts. I tried being friendly with this player so they wouldn't steal my stuff in the Division 2's PvEvP dark zone. They did...🥲

I know this is a reprint, but the art on this Magic the Gathering card is so good. Also checks off the other things I love - simple text + powerful effect.

Here’s a 🧵on our Marketing and Community teams decision to theme our updates/patches for Company of Heroes 3 versus sticking with update numbers (ex: 1.2.0). It’s been both a blessing and curse, but we’ve learned lots of lessons along the way!

Please show me your sicko gamer spreadsheets. I know you all have one for something. I'll start. Here's my tracker for loot in the Division 2.

My takeaway here is that it's a crime Yuki Tsunoda has been passed over by Red Bull for so long.
Who wants another stat?

Only four drivers have 20 Q3 appearances this season & ten drivers have at least 10 Q3 appearances:

Verstappen - 20
Norris - 20
Piastri - 20
Russell - 20
--------------
Leclerc - 19
Sainz - 17
Hamilton - 16
Alonso - 14
Perez - 13
Tsunoda - 10
