Episode 3 with Tamerlane Barak! His insight about players gaslighting themselves about $ per hour of entertainment was definitely not on my bingo card for conversations. Would definitely give it a listen! It is a long one but boy is it juicy! #TheSummoningHour #gamedev #monetization #podcast

#GameDevs of Bsky! I'd love to have a roundtable discussion about what's going on in your sphere! It can be any issue, story, new achievement, announcement, anything! I want to get more of us together! We can always fallback to the usual beats, but I would rather get to know you as devs and share!

Blizzard would have been better off reviving HotS on mobile than recycling OW again. How many times since Project Titan has OW been redone? OW as a franchise was squandered long ago. I remember Paladins mobile in 2018. Again, Blizz is late.
What are the Vegas odds that Chuck Schumer sells out the people again over this shutdown? Regardless, he's got to go.
“The reason Trump didn’t apologize for the Obama post is because he is a small, petty, fragile man who cannot take responsibility for his own actions. And the second reason, frankly, is because he is a racist.”

tRump took advantage of Congress being out on holiday to carry out his illegal attack on Venezuela. Congress must be recalled and immediately start impeachment of tRump.
