YouTube algorithm showing me a Netflix Avatar video about Katar vs Pakku. It's so good that I am reminded why I didn't watch more than two episodes.

I got this #gamedev question in my DMs. Its long, I will post answer at end.
"What do you suggest is a good way to structure/organize your design thoughts and documents?
We started out with a gdd but that got bloated pretty fast and I consulted it maybe 4 times after its initial setup. (Cont)

Its so important to document, even when you're going solo!
Even solo, by forcing yourself to document, you shape your game before it has a chance to run away from you.
It fights common demons like feature creep, technical debt and writing yourself into a corner.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
