i've noticed English people pronounce β "beeta" but I've never heard anyone say "meeta". 🤔

Can you please describe for me the differences in (the range of) meaning(s) between 🫰🏻 and 🤌🏻 ?

Who would have thought that having a solid engine, intergenerational teams, and a focus on creativity would be beneficial to game dev!!!

Capcom is on a generational run. But this is no renaissance: the company has never been greater. I reported on the secret of its success, from "Crapcom" in the early 2010s to its one-banger-after-another present, speaking to many of its most illustrious producers. www.theringer.com/2026/09/03/v...

This is also true of video games. Do not submit unsolicited ideas to video game companies or attempt to talk to devs at conferences about them. Whether a new project idea or an idea for a live service, you will be ignored/shut down/deleted for liability reasons.

3. If some random presents me with anything in the hope of collaborating with me, I AM NOT TAKING THAT SHIT. I'm not even looking at it. It's an open invitation for that random to attempt to sue me later for "stealing their idea" or whatever. Also, fuck you, random, for putting me in that position.

every "storyteller" job on LinkedIn is like "We are evil and insane and wonderful. We are the next Uber and the next Apple and the next something that hasn't been named yet. We will kill you within weeks, possibly days, of employment. You will die thankful."

Just found out that "It was a pleasure to learn about [my] skills and accomplishments".

There's just so many companies who appreciate my interest in employment. I feel so appreciated.

If you can make regular monetary donations to your local/regional food bank... consider doing so. Even a couple dollars a month can provide on average of 4 meals per dollar. Things are about to get really, really bad for a lot of people.

I’ve worked narrative contracts where I was seated on the other side of the building from the other writers, and forbidden from discussing the writing with them.

What are the best GBA games (besides Mother 3 and Minish Cap)? My reason for asking about needing a 3DS or not is that the DSi plays GBA games and I really just want to own a single gameboy (for mostly financial reasons, but I do love simplicity when possible).

What are the best 3DS games (that take advantage of the 3D feature)? I've only player A Link Between Worlds and that seemed to utilize it incredibly well (akin to Skyward Sword and the Wiimote)

this makes me sad

I love what itch is trying to be, but if there’s one piece of advice I could give first-time gamedevs, it’s to focus on other storefronts. itch is a fantastic place for demos, but almost nobody buys games there. Pains me to see devs trying to make a living prioritize it over Steam.
