I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2".

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery?
Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!!

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!
And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

John Carmack is a self-serving bitchass motherfucker.
Imagine being so much of a douche you claim to have been friends with someone who just passed all the while deadnaming and misgendering her. Can't even pretend to respect the dead while trying to leech off her legacy.

I agree with this sentiment but also I just can't be bothered to do a full High Femme Voice when I'm interacting with people who already know I'm trans. I got to a point where I'm not dysphoric about hearing myself, that's good enough for me.
I can do a passably feminine voice (and train other girls to!) but the voice I like to use in my day to day life is purposely a little clocky.
Why? Because I want other trans people to see me rocking my shit, and understand that you can be trans and POWERFUL.

You are safe to clock me. I'd actually hate it if another trans person noticed that I was trans and decided *not* to talk to me for that reason. I want my people to notice me. Reskeet this if you're proudly and gladly clocked.

ok they deleted and reposted it for some reason but, reminder: this is a survey of GDC attendees only which self-selects for highly paid, senior devs and management
which is to say: this is most likely what a result skewed _against_ unionization looks like right now
