Wow, they managed to destroy one of the best parts of GDC. That’s sad! Yet another reason to not fly to San Francisco for it

I got a great question on my Ramadan thread: do Muslims also need to avoid consumption by proxy in videogames? Does consuming in-game food or drink break the fast? Basically: does your character have to go fast? The answer is no, unless you happen to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question: "why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]" It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good. loadbearingtomato.com/p/why-chasin...

You can’t have a relationship with a next-token prediction system, nor should you try to. Go outside and meet real human people, I promise they’re lovely

so this is pretty cool!!! so so grateful i got to work on cod: bo7 :) second game credit SECURED. p.s. i'm still looking for work post-graduation starting may 2026 if you any leads hit me up :)
