We need each other more than ever now. As devs in this community, be there for one another. Its easy to get bitter; don't. Channel those feelings into creation and connection. Reach out, or just listen; it matters. Hope you all are well; we will get through it.

I don't usually post on here, but I just want to say if you were hit with layoffs, I'm sorry. You're not crazy, it isn't fair. Having gone through them myself a year ago I'm happy to lend an ear. I hope things get better. Truly

Man, wouldn't it be cool if I had enough time to learn Blueprints and C++ so I could make my own games in UE5? Man, wouldn't it be cool if I had enough time to work on my own stuff consistently? Man, wouldn't it be cool if I had enough time? Man, I wish I had time.
