Agenda | GDC Festival of Gaming The GDC Festival of Gaming program blends expert insight with interactive formats designed to spark ideas, sharpen skills, and connect communities.

Is there a way to easily track a collection of individual sessions that I'm missing?

It looks like there is no account associated with schedule.gdconf.com to build a list, and attempting to manually export each talk as a separate calendar event always exports the full schedule of all sessions.

Lakarian City Lakarian City was a major city on Cardassia Prime. Its leisure facilities included an amusement center โ€“ one to which Gul Dukat had been planning to take his son, Mekor, for his eleventh birthday in 2...

Just watched the series finale of DS9 last night. I think that was the first time I heard them talk about Cardassian civilians that are separate from the military... as they destroyed millions of them in attempts to quell a rebellion.

This means I've been with my partner for a decade. One of the first things we did as a couple was play Firewatch. Has a special place in our lives. Thank you! โค๏ธ

One of my favorite secrets in #HighOnLife2 has been found!

Obviously MAJOR spoilers in the link.

Maddest of props to @andyvatter.bsky.social who cooked up the first version of this in secret and blew all our minds at a company meeting.

I feel like anything breaking into the Top 10 WAU is an impressive feat when over 75% of the list has been immutable for half a decade.

Extra super proud of the #HighOnLife2 team and @tylerglaiel.com/ @edmundm.bsky.social. Congrats, y'all!

Playing Reanimal and High On Life 2 back-to-back was an interesting experience cause Reanimal is a game I enjoyed and would wholeheartedly recommend to everyone I know while High On Life 2 delighted me so much it hurts and I don't know a single person who I'd be brave enough to recommend it to.
