Does anyone have recommendations for a dev/work (but bonus if it's decent for gaming) laptop?
It's hard to find many recs that aren't pushing the bleeding edge gaming laptops (the Razer Blade 16 seems to come up, but it's $3500 CAD 🫠)

Working in games means your answer to the question "If you could do anything you wanted in life, what would it be?" isn't a different career, but the same career in a kinder version of the same industry.

ok they deleted and reposted it for some reason but, reminder: this is a survey of GDC attendees only which self-selects for highly paid, senior devs and management
which is to say: this is most likely what a result skewed _against_ unionization looks like right now

I had a google alert set up for my name since there was a lot of fun stuff around DAV's release. Forgot about it until I got an obituary today.
Rest well other Blair Thorburn, I hope you weren't a dick.
