kind of wild to see someone retire from game dev, rather than just fading away into another career after being laid off for the sixteenth time

Part of how you know the transfem spidey meme is pure wish fulfillment is that a big part of the humor derives from a journalistic institution being led by an avowed trans ally

I'll be real I don't think SuperEarth is lasting another year
You're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year.
How are y'all faring in this deal?

some weeks you get lots of gamedev done and other weeks progress crawls forward and then you beat yourself up about it and that doesn't help so progress is even slower and this is all good and normal and healthy actually

This is a very serious problem for libraries, archives, and knowledge-keepers of all kinds. If you don’t control access to your collections, *you do not have collections.* If we do not have permanent access to records, stories, & sources of knowledge then our histories and memories are not our own.
"In 2022, Wiley removed over 1,300 ebooks from academic library collections; [they said] perpetual access is not an option for subscribed content. In 2025, Clarivate,... announced they would stop offering libraries perpetual access licenses for ebooks and primary-source digital collections."

There was a mass disabling event in recent history that could cause long term health issues including but not limited to mobility, recent studies showed that nearly half of those diagnosed with Long Covid have suffered mobility and balance deterioration.
I imagine some may need mobility aids.

You want to keep kids out of trouble? Don't shut things down at 7 pm
This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.
This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

Very depressing to see so many miniatures companies starting to embrace AI, slowly, but surely. For logos, for graphics, to ''paint'' miniatures...and for the actual models.

Spoke to several people at Develop who have recently discovered that they are neurodiverse. Good for them! Basically though, if you are a videogame programmer and have had difficulties with some/many aspects of life since you were a kid, you probably are *something*. It's worth looking into it.
