Performance and optimization will be key in the upcoming years. Gonna be interesting seeing what games fail because the gamers can't "just upgrade their hardware"
I'm happy we're performance benchmarking our next indie game to Switch 1 and Steam Deck, especially looking at the chip shortage headlines.

HT to @brunodias.bsky.social for bringing this Sims 4 DLC to our attention, but honestly this “game designer implements the wheel of samsara” gag applies to almost every AAA game made in the last 10 years

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.
![A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”
A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kfrqgupz2gfe4fnqs7tunewt/bafkreih7pn6bwnhxtkd6xpfcck6gnwiqsuuixc4suhzfo4qi7djweo3ggm@jpeg)

My ongoing argument in this area is that anyone who is rejecting the potential power of AI is simply wrong, and anyone who is not exploring its risks is simply dangerous.
