My M1 MacBook Air from 2020 continues to serve me well as my main work computer outside of in engine stuff but editing high bitrate 4K video brings it to its knees 😫

Keeping your pay to yourself only helps your employer.
Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"

They want people to assume this means game info or assets.

But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:

'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"
"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.

Wow if Zohran can do that, maybe I, a fellow Millennial, can also run for office (immediately has emotional breakdown attempting to organize a potluck)

Producers are not game developers. Period.

Producers are tortured creatures operating on anxiety/adrenaline, convincing stakeholders that "plans" are real and not fanfiction, while praying to whatever sick god they worship for the game to ship. These things are not the same.
Looking at the registration form for GDC and they don't even include production or QA or narrative or UI as a role you can have as a game developer 😩

This NYT story about how Mamdani dealt with the opposition by the city's elites fails to mention one particular elite institution: The NYT editorial page, which last June railed against him as "uniquely unsuited to the city’s challenges... lacks political savvy"
