Be very careful, even if the studio has great ‘uWu’ presence online and treat their employees great, it doesn’t mean that they’ll pay their contractors fairly. It’s scary because in those situations, you might be willing to accept their low pay thinking ‘oh but they’ll hire me again! Ooh I’ll get visibility! ‘It’s okay to give away my Steam OST royalty money, I’ll get more gigs with them later!”. Spoiler alert: It probably won’t happen. It’ll be a one time low paying gig and that’s it. Don’t be fooled by any wholesome persona or online popularity, it’s a marketing tool. Freelancing sustainably means you need to know your worth and find ways to have it be respected. I’m writing this in the context of staying healthy in the games industry for years to come. I think it’s worth saying ‘no’ to exploitative gigs so that you preserve your long-term mental and financial health. That’s why in my last newsletter, I said that it’s okay, hell encouraged, to have another stable job. Freelancing cannot immediately become a full time stable career. Your health matters more and that should be the priority when negotiating pay for your next gig.
As a freelancer, it's much more than just getting a contract
It's about sustainable gigs. That includes saying no to short term exploitative contracts. I dont want people to burn out after 5 years.
Theres more to this excerpt so go read my latest newsletter!

My latest gameplay for Invincible VS! She has some very creative and technical combo routes, had a lot of fun putting the combat together.

Didn't get much time to play, but love all the comms. See you at launch. 🫡
Couldn't believe That Take when I saw it. 😒 This is a much better way to frame things.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.
As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.
ICE HAS MOVED LUD WITHOUT NOTIFYING HIS LAWYERS.

Lud has been a part of the fgc for a long time, is an absolute sweetheart and to see this happen to him is downright b.s.
Please help out if you can.
I forever have this clip at the ready. Quintessential "what they want vs what they need" balance story.

This is not a random arcade match. It's part of a ECvs WC 5v5 at EVO 2003
The part about SooMighty being insanely high is true, and also the reason why he went for repeated snapbacks while comboing Sentinel. Dude was too blazed to remember he had already fucked on the other two characters
My code chops are rusty but could you simplify this by checking (!isGif && !autoplayDisabled)?
It's crazy, stay safe man 🙏
NOLA TFR is completely different and is limited to drones.
Hah, just started using Geist in my decks. This will be nice to have.
Airing immediately after halftime was diabolical.
I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many.
The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.
But IMO the world hasn’t been made any better by half-built products looking for quick exits and requiring constant data collection in order to run their A/B tests
I am personally of the opinionated, obsessive, craft + taste > market analysis, vertical integration, long timelines ilk of technologist
Tracks that PetSmart would do this 😒
We didn't really eat out when I was a kid, aside from the occasional pizza shop or McDonald's in town. Couldn't afford it. The first time we went into a Pizza Hut I thought we were in some fancy restaurant. The tablecloths, the lamps, nice printed menus... seemed like a different world.
And 80% of these 996 "AI startup" dorks are just vibe coding a chatgpt wrapper. Wasted youth.
if your curious how me and others worked in the gameplay capture dept at bungie, this GDC talk might be your thing.

This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.
It worked.
I was surprised by this, too, but you do apparently have to declare when taking more than $10k cash out of the country.

Did you see the VA cast?? Stacked is an understatement!
