If you want to start making games, instead of trying to make your magnum opus on your first go, please do some game jams. Ludum Dare. Something short with a fixed time limit and specs you need to follow. Learn about developing under restrictions, how to get creative in them, how to scope smartly.

Why this needs to be said EVERY launch cycle is beyond me, but here we are... time to educate!
If I politely tell you that I appreciate your interest, but that I simply don't have enough keys to issue one for every single request, and you choose to respond 'Fuck you and your game'... DON'T. 🔽

i would love to believe statistics like this, but in the 3.5 years i have been in games i have legitimately never met anyone making over $90k a year unless they were at the very top of upper management for an enormous and profitable AAA company (1/2)

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

as an ex-starbucks barista let me say one thing: GO ON STRIKE I LOVE Y'ALL FUCK THAT EVIL CORPORATION
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.
