#WhatAGameDevLooksLike is coming back to GDC next week for its SIXTH year! Last year I wrote about the challenges of mass layoffs, online harassment, and lack of funding, and #WhatAGameDevLooksLike was a little beacon of joy and celebration of how brilliant, diverse, and kind our industry can be.

Great thread. My favorite first move is to LOUDLY narrate the inappropriate thing they're doing as if it's a question and you misunderstood
"Wait, did you just ask me if I had a bf?"
"Sorry, did you ask me to come to your hotel room?"
Embarrass them.
And a simple "Ew!" is a VERY powerful weapon

If you find someone with identical plumbing, that's a doppeldonger >_>
If you mix two different flavors of instant juice powder that's a doppeltanger
when you see someone made almost exactly the same joke as you but theirs does better numbers that's a doppelbanger

How many hours and/or attempts does it take someone deep in the throes of hyperfocus to eat a meal while it's hot?
Today that number is 11 and 4, and includes throwing one dish out that sat in the microwave for 9 hours before burning through several attempts at another 🫠
