🚨Trump's Project 2025 will dismantle Veterans' healthcare! This is not only a betrayal, but dangerous to the lives and well-being of those who’ve served.
Please read and share this critical information!

Fwiw - trade shows cost approximately 30-40% more post-COVID vs pre-COVID.
And for a show that was more downfunnel marketing than direct revenue generation, that radically changes the calculus.
"Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024
...
While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Okay I wave my magic wand and every single person on the street is now 100% sober.
They still can't afford a first and last month deposit, they don't have a 700 credit score, have an eviction on their record, and can't afford a 10% rent increase every year.
Now what?

Oh cool! The last big thing I worked on before I left is up.
It's a system where you can set triggered effects for IRL games via donations.
Like forcing a NAT20 in D&D, or a countering a card in a game of Magic, or a reverse a billion in Uno.
Glad to see it is out in the wild!

Try pitching a VR game without guns and you'll know my pain. Someone actually said "what if you added guns" to my slice of life narrative adventure game.

Thank you for proving my point.
ALT Screenshot of my tweet that says: "There have been a lot of "hot takes" in regards to how game dev works and it's made me realize how much a part of the gaming community has zero empathy for others. We need to get better at that." And a reply to my tweet from a username LmaoKek that says: "No we don't have to empathizes with your job or your situation we just want good products for once we want you to do your job properly to make it worth while spending full price on a game. The crying about work is beyond the joke"

The woke agenda is ruining movies, I mean if they made Alien today they’d probably cast a woman as the lead and make one of the characters trans
Fun fact: ups and FedEx only directly service 20% of addresses in the USA. The rest are handed off to USPS who is obligated to service 100%

It's really easy to take principles like DRY overboard, but remember that premature overloading is almost always unnecessary. Don't build around features that aren't yet needed. They will likely change before they are implemented, and working around those assumptions gets hard.

AOC introduced a bill that bans members of congress from trading stocks and it needs to be much bigger news

The watershed on mandatory in-office work has come and gone.
If you're mandating people to work from an office, you're abdicating trust, flexibility, better teams, better work/life balance and doubling down on higher costs, lower productivity, and a more vulnerable workforce.

Disliking something that's bad isn't the same thing as having a value, having a value is when you act in accordance to your beliefs even though it's personally inconvenient for you to do so

Unity quietly released a new hands package that introduces a hands subsystem enabling native hand tracking via OpenXR in vanilla Unity. It also fully supports Meta’s aim extension that adds far rays and pinch.
The sample hand mesh is getting fixed soon and xri samples are coming
After Beast Wars, I binged #Transformers Beast Machines. It's honestly not bad, but it's not a great transformers show either. If it was any other IP, it'd be great.
Decided to binge watch #Transformers Beast Wars (1996), as I haven't seen it since it originally aired on TV. Honestly? It holds up well. It's chock full of scenes recreated from famous movies like Terminator and Rambo2, so it's a fun re-watch as an adult
