We need to kill the worship of efficiency.
We have two news channels instead of hundreds of thousands of papers and outlets. More efficient? Absolutely. And it's terrible.
Doctor's offices that are all video? Very efficient. Super shitty.
Efficiency is the enemy. We're so scared of friction.

Buy a book.
Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.
Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

I am jobless at the moment, taking some time to reflect about my place in this industry and refining my skills.
The good thing is that usually a new cycle starts with a new year.
Let's hope that is a great one.

I can't emphasize this enough: If you're struggling to find work in games, you're not the only one and please don't blame yourself. The horrible state of the industry is unprecedented. The crash in the 80s and the recession in the late 2000s weren't as rough as this. There are so few opportunities.

Was looking at the source code for Command & Conquer Red Alert and found this gem by the programmers. Now I wonder how many games are shitting on the computers they are actually running 😂

Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder.

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.
A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

Finally started tackling custom keyBinding. Coding this sucks soooooo bad. 😭But I've cleared the first hurdle:
✅Retrieve current inputMaps

I abused the heck out of my messageDisplay-function, poor thing is a hot mess now. But it works. 🥹

And struggling and thinking that you suck because you don't have enough skill when really you're just missing some critical knowledge is something that can happen to you in real life, and its important to be familiar with that concept and not get discouraged!
