I’ve always loved GDC. I went every year for 13 years. I’ve made some of my closest friends at GDC. I met my wife at GDC. I’ve struck life-changing business deals at GDC. I’ve always been inspired, motivated and rejuvenated by GDC.

This AI slop promo video makes me hate GDC.

Remember kids: the real GDC is every hotel bar in a three-block radius around GDC.

Are you fucking kidding me GDC? Is this a real question youre asking right now? You were a joke before when most people couldnt afford to attend you but now...

Fuck right off a cliff with this.

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.

Also worth noting: Jenny Jiao Hsia's autobiographical opus Consume Me, which won the Grand Prize at this year's Independent Games Festival along with a few other awards, is also delisted in itch search (but also has a searchable Steam listing)

Can confirm that most of the works by @radiatoryang.bsky.social, as well as my own card game (but not the extras, ironically) no longer show up in itch.io search results, much like anything else tagged NSFW, it seems. Good enough art for museums... But not payment processors!

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

This looks bad, right? But here is the thing... ITS WORSE

This survey only reached a narrow selection of respondents. Notably cut anybody who has been unemployed for too long. Mostly just ppl who can afford to attend GDC. Many laid off before 2025 are still looking!
