I am really enjoying Blue Prince, and I think it's a great game, but one thing that's keeping me from calling it an amazing game is the level of RNG. You can go an entire run without being offered a lever, making it literally impossible to win.

I will literally never forget playing Brutal Legend and losing my shit when Ozzy and Lemmy showed up.

I'm still so excited about this song, now with video!

Thank you to all of you who have shared kind words, I'm glad people have been enjoying listening to it as much as I did helping out with it.
If for some reason you haven't listened to my debut song yet, now's your chance! Full music video is out today!

State of the games industry:
- Make a shitty game -> get fired.
- Make a successful game -> get fired.

Bernie Sanders posts an 8-min video that explains what’s happening, steps for short term strategies, and steps for longer term stuff.

One example: he reminds folks the GOP has four vote majority. They are weak. He suggests calling your reps. Be mad It works.

We are living in a dangerous and unprecedented moment in American history. I’m getting a lot of calls from people who are wondering how we best go forward. Here are my thoughts:

Agreed. GDC is prohibitively expensive. If you really want to go, have a goal: networking is a great one.

I’m honestly at the point where I won’t be going unless I get into the CA program again. It’s just too expensive for me.
Reminder:
- You do not NEED to go to GDC. You can want to, and that's okay! But you're not missing out/shooting your career in the foot if you don't go
- You should have specific, actionable goals to make GDC worth it for yourself to ensure you're getting real value out of it beyond "going to GDC"
