I play games in both analytical and self imposed challenges. I tend to play simulation, tycoon, city builders, settlement builders, survival crafters, etc.
Some of this parsing was good stuff. Do they have relevant experience?

Unfortunately if there were still too many applicants the things screened on would become less relevant and more arbitrary until that number was manageable.

Applicant management is a real challenge with few good solutions sadly

This is also entirely true outside gamedev as well.

With tech startups a lot of time I'd actually see your application, then make the call to interview you.

Big companies we had recruiters and screening tools. Candidates would be parsed down to a manageable number to interview before I see any.

I'm always mixed on watch streaks it can be a fun thing for people to do together but also can be a bad thing for stress.

I do think the best solution would be allowing viewers to opt out.

I kind of keep mine since I don't wanna take away people's streaks.

Strong agree.

Sorry I missed you at the con this year! This was a super busy con for me and I wound up missing catching up with quite a few people.

Hope your flight goes smoothly and is as boring and uneventful as possible.

Nice! I really need to make swag happen some year.

So... Not a divorce, but I did ultimately break up over a truck... (She was very adamant I buy a truck, I got a small convertible instead)

... So... 90s punk rock or alt rock?

Just to be clear, I was given the okay to discuss this with my community so no slap me Twitch! I got permission!

But yeah it was like 7 or 8 about a year ago according to the staff I talked to.

It certainly could have changed, but 3+ is what was tossed around then too, so I assume it's bad info.

I feel for the stat to be meaningful from the industry side you'd need "people who average at least N hours of games a week" to qualify active participants in the industry.

Otherwise we're talking about increasingly the addressable market, which is more of a freetime / economic / societal hurdle.

I honestly don't think it's as impactful beyond the shock factor as it sounds.

Similar statistics exist in the majority of movie goers only watching one movie a year.

Often it's just that activity isn't something they do much of at all. So no need or justification for spending more on it.

This isn't a bash on people making AI. They're making a tool, a hammer.

They're not making people.

A person has thoughts, feelings, and emotions and does things with reason and intent.

A tool is a thing that acts based on the one wielding it. Even if the results are unexpected or not understood.
