Looking through this collection there's so many games that have all but vanished from being obtainable in any other way

I read it this year and can't recommend it enough. It shines a very insightful light on how game dev is *way* broader and more varied than we're led to think

Agree, it's why I always recommend reading @brkeogh.bsky.social's book The Videogame Industry does not exist.
Games are a media, an art field. While it's understandable to want to help people pay bills, we undermine them by focusing so much on their monetization - especially when it's unrealistic.

handedness can be a little hard to wrap your head around - it's a very elusive concept as it's mostly perceptual/visual rather than being a property of the numbers/math itself
notably though, you can use it to figure out positive rotation directions, given an arbitrary axis!

Recently I wrote about how the much loved itch.io store got taken down by Funko (as in Funko Pop figures). The situation seems thankfully sorted with itch back up, but things got a little weird.
