I remember ~'98 Vancouver, "foodie" hadn't reached the zeitgeist yet and you had to explain to people what you meant. In my book you're the OG foodie :)

"Boomer shooter" is weird because they weren't made by boomers, the early FPS games like Doom etc were gen-X, but apparently to gen-z on 4chan "Boomer" was just slang for "old" and now here we are...

Your echo-chamber be bangin' dude!
"WHAT?" [wub wub wub]
"I SAID THIS ECHO-CHAMBER IS ROCKING!"
"WHAT?"
WUB WUB WUB

Bots generating conflict?

Gamedevs: ideas-man isn't a thing, you have to make games.

Mad Men Ad Man: Yeah we just come up with ideas for fake games for our ads, then rando gamedevs go "WHY ISN'T THAT REAL" and make it real

Counterpoint: a game developer with a silly idea they want to test out real quick who is supposed to be finishing their actual game :..)

Awesome! Congratulations!

If Band Back-Togethering ever starts Getting, loop me in! (I'll do same, though my Vast Network of Human Operatives is probably no match for yours)

You now need to kill someone, attempt a desperate escape, or have immaculate hair. I don't make the rules

Heh, it makes more sense if it's 1999 and games are built with 3D Binary Space Partition :D (IIRC they were called brushes in the Quake engine too) But now I have to go read why they're still in Unreal

This timeline has the best Loki!

Accessory idea: Would a spraycan of clearcoat stick to the surface to make a finished design extra-permanent? Or is the wet-erase already decently durable? (I have a dry-erase design from a historically significant game and trying to preserve it is a PITA)

I used blender for 3d modeling and it never even occurred to me that it included a powerful video editing suite until someone recommended it for video editing, so in case you're me... :)
