I think about this Simon Sinek video atleast once a week.

Do you have a link to your portfolio?

Ridiculous statement. Of course large companies do training and also hire students, interns, juniors, etc.

In the coat queue after a gig and an old drunk guy pushes to the front.

I called him out and he got super aggro in Danish. Had an argument with him, then when I left he yelled "fuck you" to which I responded "have a nice day".

Maybe the most British thing I've done in 8 years living in Denmark.

This raises questions:
- If both assume AI is part of their exchange, why not just send the bullet points?
- How much info drift is there between the first and second sets of bullet points?
- How much energy, time and money is wasted in just one info conversion loop?

New term: 'LLMiddleman'

- Person A wants to write a message to Person B.
- They write up bullet points and ask AI to turn that into the full message. They send whatever was written.
- Person B opens the message. They can't be bothered to read it all so feed it into AI to condense to bullet points.

Ah yes, if there is one thing companies and developers are wanting it's for an even greater quantity of released games on the stores... /s

There are a few!

Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Star Trek: TNG, Succession, Blackadder Goes Forth

As a Discord Hater, I welcome it's demise.

Companies shifting user engagement from good ol' forums to 'realtime' chat-rooms has ruined SEO of useful recorded public information. I went to a game dev event the other week, and all the admin info was a pinned post on a Discord channel! 😑

IIRC, it's because 3D UI pointer queries are done through physics raycasting...

I ideally don't want to worry about majority of the networking architecture; seems like a good bet!

UE5 is probably the best starting point for '4 players doing shenanigans' formula? I don't want to use Unity and haven't seen much 'friendslop' with Godot (yet!).

I want to make a 'friendslop' game.

TL;DR Unity -> Godot transition: after 13 years in unity, it took me 4-6 weeks of getting adjusted, and now i’ll never go back. it has quirks, like other engines. there’s bugs. but it’s free, basically equally capable, and well reported issues get fixed quicker than in unity (sometimes within hours)

My main issue with SgΓ il is the security outfit hierarchy is not that clear for sections. Atleast on other maps the tier-ing is much more visually obvious.

Still love the vibe of the map!

Graph showing the relative share of game engines used in Global Game Jam from 2018 to 2026.

It mainly shows a relative decrease of the Unity share from nearly 80% to 57%, while Godot grew from 1.4% to over 25%. There's a notable inflexion point in the year-on-year growth from Godot in 2024.

The 2026 Global Game Jam #GGJ26 was last weekend, so let's take a look at their historical data for engine usage.

πŸ“ˆ @godotengine.org is having a good run!

#Godot is now firmly established as the #2 engine in game jams (correlated by #GMTKJam data), rapidly closing the gap with #Unity.

Godot being almost 50% of Unity games is amazing! 😲

UE floating same number is interesting; then again jammers seem to avoid it due to complexity, install size and hardware spec. πŸ€”

Going to need a Liam Gallagher skin in Fortnite.

Imagine dropping into Tilted and then cracking shields whilst spouting Oasis lyrics down the mic in a Mancunian accent. Tamborine backbling too.

It's like Unity but without the bloat and bad decision making.

Almost 4 hours of someone actually playing the Google Genie 3 games. It is amusing that this is what has tanked the games industry stock market.

Probably worth having a section on LFS. Inevitably jammers will run into it mid-jam.
