when I was a kid I thought executives at these big companies didn't seem smart then I got to college and saw the challenges of coordinating technical teams I thought maybe I'd underestimated them then worked at EA off and on a few years met some executives and quit because I was right the first time

Am I the only person always getting holes in his pant pockets? This flimsy garbage material keeps splitting open. I only have a phone and sometimes wallet in there. No keys.
Anyone know a good brand?

If you work in a creative industry, you *must* read this

β€œIf you were a man, every one of those negatives would be in the positive column.” - My first performance review in games included as negatives: β€œpersonality is too big, too confident, asks too many questions”

Yes, there’s a double standard

Good advice for sound editors & re-recording mixers…

Your brain and data may be in the internet, a world that is both everywhere and nowhere. But your ass is still firmly planted in the jurisdiction of somebody's courts. And police.

Proton is correct. The odds of you finding a company that won't comply with its local police are basically zero.

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this πŸ˜‰

I think I'm done with doomerism over how AI will destroy things.

It will (it is), but at this point I'm more interested in what comes next? Because it will. AI will finish killing this iteration of the internet, but not permanently. It'll kill journalism for a while, but something will replace it.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

people be careful about posting your favorite 9 video games these trends may seem harmless but in fact they may lead other people to learn about you and ways they find you relatable !
