i'm rj lake. i've been making music and sfx professionally for 2/3 of my life now. i've got a credit on every strange scaffold project released so far (most recently I AM YOUR BEAST and CLICKOLDING) and i'm directing UNBEATABLE at @dcellgames.com!

here's a 60second cut of like 0.005% of my work.

that's fucked! no team should be treated like that.

You may think something cannot be both a conference and a festival, but don't worry, this is not a conference. It's a GDC.

rj @rj.dcellgames.com · 6d

i think the thing that bothers me the most about the gdc rebrand is the implicit push of "GDC" as a non-abbreviatory signifier of itself. it no longer means Game Developer Conference. it just means GDC. GDC means "Festival of Gaming." it's an attempted PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDSification of the conference.

more of a game director job is the same skill as doing improv comedy than any of us would ever like to admit

(this sounds like a joke but it's really true. if you have passably good rhythm it's really hard to make it sound bad, because there's volume drop-outs built into the recording)

scratching spoken word vinyl is a great way to convince people you're way better at scratching than you actually are

that involves being good enough at knowing where to be (and to not be) that your silk is rarely used for healing. this also folds into the hunter crest, which is far and away the best to use if you aren't getting hit, because damage scales up with it. there's a positive feedback loop to playing well

rj @rj.dcellgames.com · 11d

i mean it's just an efficacy thing, right? there's one difficulty mode, and execution of it at base level just involves knowing how to survive longer than the other guy. knowing how to do it fast is its own game

sorry i've been kind of muddling through this thread so far mostly being like "well, it's whatever. i've seen worse" but this is truly egregious. what is he even doing with this

rj @rj.dcellgames.com · 12d

i fucking adore world's greatest dad and i HATED this movie, but i also have zero contempt for goldthwait for making it. i haven't seen it since the day it came out though and maybe i should revisit it
