A shovel salesman argues that every person needs a shovel, as it's essential for survival. He questions how one could exist without one and suggests that those without a shovel will fall behind. He advocates for Universal Basic Shovels for everyone in the future.

Fun game dev fact:
If you're holding a map of a place while standing in that place, there's always at least one point on the map that aligns perfectly with its real-world location.

Game designers, learn to adjectify, verbify, and nounify.

fun fact: if you draw fanart for a game within the first week of any sort of major PR event for it (announcement, demo, release etc) there is a 99% chance the entire dev team on the game knows who you are because they are doing nothing but reposting fanart in slack

Facebook bought oculus over a decade ago for 2 billion , and changed it's name to Meta only 4 years ago.

It's now extremely common to see bots comment on social media posts. Short form content is thier favourite as all they have to do is repeat the last line and put a laughing emoji and they will get a ton of engagement from real people.

LMAO, Grammerly sells students AI generated text tools to complete and correct their assignments and sells educators tools to auto correct and detect AI in assignments.
What a horrible way to play both sides.
