Bin persânlich kein Fan der verschiedenenfarbenen Buchstaben in den Entwürfen, und generell passiert da in den meisten sehr viel. Wirkt auf mich etwas noisy und unintentional statt verspielt (mutmaße das, dass die Idee war?). Am meisten spricht mich N von allen an!

A slide that reads "Presenting games primarily as  consumer products undermines arguments to preserve and make them accessible as an art form." from a MAGFest panel. That panel from the Dark Knight Returns where he breaks the gun also is on there.

Half Life (1998) is now as old as the first ever arcade game, Computer Space (1971) was when Half Life was released.

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Photo of square orange tiles, set into the ground, across one of which several cats footprints are clearly visible.

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall.

It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?
