Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

Remembered The Sandman, a 90s stop motion short horror film that aired without any sort of preamble on "for kids" cartoon block and gave me SO MANY nightmares as a kid holy hell
If you grew up in the 90s you saw a LOT of wild animated stuff because adults thought anything animated was "for kids"

I really loved this demo when I played it, and I'd love it if more folks checked it out and supported the team!! The characters are so good, the premise and art is excellent, and the UI design is GREAT. (sorry not sorry I love good UI)
Choices matter in Spill the Beans - make friends, make enemies, make someone’s day or ruin their life 😈

Started watching Dorohedoro the other day, after only ever having read the manga, which I loved. I was really pleasantly surprised by the anime! The sound design is great so far and they did a great job bringing the world to life.
Distressed that they don't pronounce it like the crocodile.

It's important us olds do this too
I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

I think studios need to start offering internships to all entry level candidates rather than just those enrolled in a program. Many people can't afford school, and non-internship entry level jobs at studios basically don't exist these days. There's a whole bunch of talent just sitting in limbo 😞
