Cool! I hope you're in for a treat then. I tried watching things from "best kdramas" google search but wasn't happy with most of them. So it took me three attempts to get into kdramas till I found what I liked 😄

Alina B @froshadowing.bsky.social · 1d

From what I've liked recently:
- Reborn rich (Jaebeoljip maknaeadeul)
- Lovely Runner
- Wonderful World
- A good day to be a dog

Which ones prior to that you really liked?

For years I thought manslaughter was pronounced exactly like that - man's laughter. I just figured it meant the kind of laugh that ends badly...

And if it's not his namesake, then this person also grew into PC Gamer's Bran Director. Yeah.

The editor of the UK Playstation mag btw studied English Literature and Philosophy, mind you 😄. And this is him talking about his background in a TheSixThaxis interview (which also explains - but no excuses! - a lot).

These past few years, browsing game industry news feels like flipping through a scrapbook of near-misses - each headline is another quiet “thank god I wasn’t hired there” or "phew, dodged that bullet" 😑😣

We stand in solidarity with employees and ex-employees at Build a Rocket Boy as they file legal claims through our union and publish an open letter, condemning the way in which they’ve been mistreated and discarded by the studio’s millionaire executives.

Perfect example how a THEME elevates your story:

- Manhunter '86
- Red Dragon '02

Same story, same cinematographer, completely different movies. Only one has a theme.

In Manhunter, the investigation of the killings is what the characters DO.

Had a fantastic time speaking about the culture of curiosity and learning at a private knowledge-sharing event organized by my friends - @devgamm.bsky.social.

PS another reminder that I am helping teams build the right product, culture & processes (and I like speaking at events). My DMs are open

A year passed, yet still relevant.

OG tweet: Prior to my talk @ Dice Como on how creativity is not "efficient" if you measure efficiency by business, there was an industry report by venture capital group.

There,abandoning startup mentality in favor of "good culture" (crunch-free and 4dww) was marked as A PROBLEM.

Quote retweet:

There are also a lot of talks about how industry is in the Dark Ages right now. It's a shame they don't mention how venture and equity funds had a major influence on how things ended up this way.

Just found out that Netflix has pulled out of the deal earlier this year - after almost 2 years of project development! Dodged the bullet twice 😂

I was just thinking recently, that moral choices would be so much easier to make if you 'just' had enough money:

- Standing up against corruption would be easier if your livelihood didn’t depend on silence.

- Telling the truth at work would be easier if you didn’t fear losing your job.

Etc
