This is incredible to see. So happy @limitedrungames.com is making this happen!

As you may know, I’ve got a lot of personal history here, both personal and professional. Here comes a thread where I’ll include at least one fun bit of fun trivia for each game in the collection.

Steam Deck ranks as fourth most-developed for game platform | GDC survey New GDC data shows Steam Deck emerging as a serious dev platform, with strong adoption and interest rivaling or surpassing some consoles.

wow - Steam Deck ranks as fourth most-developed for game platform [GDC survey]

RPG developer Owlcat launches free game dev learning resource: 'A rising tide truly lifts all ships' Owlcat worked with Midwest Games, Fireshine Games, Gaijin Entertainment, and 11 Bit Studios to start the GameDev Learning Drop.

This is VERY cool, why didn't this get more pick up in press??

"There are a lot of materials out there.. So it's good when you have an actual human review things and say, 'OK, this is really useful material for juniors to pick up.'"

I was an early adapter and evangelist for "Apple TV" hardware and content and spent a small fortune thinking that was the future, and its unsettling now when I log onto the app to watch my content and I'm greeted with endless "come back to Apple TV" -its just weird

Funny how quick the shift is from cool uncle to substitute parent when they’re both away. Today I caught myself asking about parental controls on a game I’ve never heard of, looking up parent notes on IMDb, and monitoring YouTube channels based on the volume of laughter
