Today’s news took some wind out of the sails of my office Halloween costume.

A printed image stuck on cardboard with a fake Kotaku headline that says “GTA 6 launch moved to March 2026” and underneath it “Developers everywhere shitting their pants”

Rockstar saw this tweet and went "Oh shit, we can't release anywhere near that".

That's a *lotta* loot!

I don't think so but I've hit all the big cities: Oulu, Rovaniemi, Turku and Tampere.

Heck yeah. It's all about hitting the right frame of mind.

It's one of the most important things to manage as a knowledge worker. I find it helpful to close Slack frequently so that I lock in on my main work for longer stretches and only check it at natural break points.

The national pride is cute.

Phew I've been dancing a while, let me take my head off and cool down.

Well shit. Head back on, let's go!

I've lived in Finland for seven years.

Yes, I assure you I have Done the Things. 😅

What makes the final phase of game development tiring isn't necessarily long hours. It's the intensity of the work itself. The number of pings you get, the amount of context switching, pushing several critical lanes at once. Tense decision-making. Solving complex bugs while the clock ticks down.

Finland doesn't build tall buildings because nobody wants to have to say kahdennessakymmenennessaensimmäisessä kerroksessa.

I love that. Moody.

I mean this was supposed to be the DLC and it took 8 years. 😂

Now you know what to avoid.

I worked at another studio that did this, giving the director's tickets automatic max priority which was named after him. Mental to think about it now.
