The most important thing I can tell everyone that I've learned from being a YouTuber who explains how stuff works is that each and every time I thought "this is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained" I was wrong.

Finally got around to try Indiana Jones and The Great Circle.
Went in expecting a first person Uncharted.
Super stoked to discover that it's basically an immersive sim, a mix of Prey/Dishonored, Hitman and Uncharted.
Still in the Vatican level, and I'm loving it so much more than I expected ❤️

A better way to frame it is "You may notice yellow paint in games. We talked to experts about why" or something to that effect. The video could stoke imagination, conversation.
Without normalizing more metered discussion around game development, we won't have developers feeling comfortable sharing.

people who lived through the prep work for Y2K are always rightfully defensive about that period of time in computing. NPR should have said “Y2K didn't live up to the hype *BECAUSE* years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation” and avoided some of the backlash here 😬
People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.
Y2K seems like a joke now, but in 1999 people were really freaking out

2 years ago I responded to a Tweet from @shankmods.bsky.social
It turned into an unforgettable adventure
Shank is a great storyteller, and the video he made chronicling the whole ordeal is truly something special
Even if you have no interest in CRTs, it’s worth a watch!

2025 is the year people lose trust in Google because of AI slop
I was excited to tell my kids that there's a sequel to Encanto, only to scroll down and learn that Google's AI just completely made this up

I love the revamping of Game Developer but am tired of all this engineers first - this is what games are - stories.
game != engine (for you nerds)
Also... the every game has to be a totally new thing, that new mechanics are required versus a good version of something is just lazy and exhausting.

One of the biggest questions in 2024 was if developers should move on from Unity and other proprietary engines, and if so, how?
At GDC 2024, developer Rez Graham made a case for building your own engine, outlining the available tools, as well as some pitfalls #GDBestof2024

Why (and how) you should leave Unity and Unreal to make your own engine
Longtime developer Rez Graham shares the advantages (and disadvantages) of building your own tech for indie game development.
