Aw man, @thenarwhal.ca , I used to really appreciate the reporting on First Nations, but this is an unfollowable offense. Please don't use the plagiarism theft world destroying machine.

Don’t Ship the Wrong Game: A Framework for Choosing What to Finish | René Habermann | GCF 2025 YouTube video by Game Camp

I'm not going to be at GDC next week but it turns out I can watch good presentations about gamedev from right here at home!

LLMs are going to 10x the price of RAM, is Claude at least going to fix the fact that every desktop app is now a full fat install of Chrome that leaks memory like a stuck pig?

Do not buy creeptech, do not wear creeptech, and do not tolerate the creeps who do.

Nice surprise opening my email this morning!

Economic abuse by a partner contributes to one death every 19 days, report finds Financial abuse is a factor in more than half of deaths related to domestic abuse but is often misunderstood

One of those facts about UBI that should be obvious to anyone who gives it any real thought is how significantly it will reduce domestic abuse. In Kenya, unconditional basic income cut domestic abuse in half. In Canada's Dauphin pilot, it dropped by about a third. Everyone needs the power to say NO.

This isn’t just bad design, this is -ADVERSARIAL- design.

You cannot tell me the assholes that implemented this don’t know what they’re doing - my parents in their 70’s know & use the command-C function.

Skate Style game dev update

Right, that's why they are actively attacking massive oil producing regions around the world, guaranteed toxic to reduce prices

This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States

Yeah the churn that mobile devs suffer through just to keep their apps in compliance is ridiculous

This is also every mobile dev since the beginning of time.

95% of my portfolio literally doesn't exist any more

A pop up that says "Windows protected your PC. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." It has a visible link for "More Info" and a button that says "Don't run"

reminder that when you see this in windows, all it means is that the developer didn't pay microsoft protection money

microsoft doesn't care if something is malware, as long as it's signed in a way they approve of.

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

Surpassed all expectations

The industry sucks right now but, go make things for you, not for capitalism, and when the dust clears show the world.

You have value

Your work has value

Stay hydrated, stay alive, ask for help

You're not alone

Every single day.

The everyday whiplash of gamedev, summed up by whatever GDC is these days.

I would prefer this to AI "anything"

Sentona Games stole $24,000 worth of labor from this writer and now refuses to pay her what she's owed.

Ilja Immler and Andrea Glavačević Jakubi are listed as the co-founders of Sentona Games.

Do not do work for Sentona Games. Do not do work with Ilja Immler or Andrea Jakubi.

Medium does that constantly. Fucking hate that site as a result

Yeah just saw that too. Sigh.

Wow a mac that is actually affordable? Guess this is what happens when you own the entire production chain for your hardware?

If they can actually produce these fast enough it's going to blow away every winslop equivalent out of the water.

I want this! But sadly lulu charges over 3/4 of the book price to ship to Canada for the cheapest shipping option. Can any of my friends who are going to GDC pick this up for me and I can pay you back?

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.
