I'm Kenn and I've been working in the Game Industry for 20 years.
I run a Game Industry Coffee Chat most weekday mornings and a Weekly Wind Down on Friday afternoons over at discord.gg/gicc
I talk here mostly about the game industry, production, cooking, parenting, California, and pop culture.

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

Come join us for the chat. Let's get into it.
This morning in the Game Industry Coffee Chat: Silence!
- Accusations that recent Rockstar layoffs targeted unionizing workers
- TGA has apparently erased all mention of future class from its website.
- Stories from other devs about times they've been punished for speaking up.

To add clarity to this:
Influencers in China that discuss topics such as medicine, law, education, or finance must prove they are qualified or certified to do so, in an aim to clamp down on misinformation.
Right now it impacts large influencer accounts (1m+ followers) + bans false advertising.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

This is easily one of my favorite topics to discuss. It's some of the most critical skills a producer can possess, balancing the complex web of competing stakeholders.
I'm lucky to be in the company of some truly great producers to help me figure it out! Also, I may have an opinion or two.

Dearest Martha,
Know that this long and bloody war has been cruel and unkind to the city of Portland, where many a day had been spent a-folly in our youth.
We dare not speak of these atrocities, as we fear raising attention to the offenders' actions would only further jeopardize our lives...

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.
