I call massive bullshit. These miscreants are going to try to pass the blame of their bad decisions and poor management skills onto the writers' strike for the next decade.

Hey gamedevs, you could do something similar in a few weeks at the Game Awards and use your platform like this, I’m just saying 🤔

Telling every man in the office I like their shirt then tallying the frequency at which they each wear it over the next quarter to calculate my individual influence to adjust the amount of seconds I look into their eyes accordingly

If none of your samples are about games, consider whether you are sufficiently prepared to apply for a game writing job. How's the reader to know whether you DIDN'T write a game sample or you CAN'T write one? Demonstrate competence with the medium!

TTRPG meta rules I look for in a game: As much as possible, divorce character aesthetics from player power. Players shouldn't be forced into a narrow aesthetic choice because the game wildly favors those choices in power or functionality.

Early in my career, a wise elder told me to settle on my "Fuck You Rate." This was an amount of money so high, that if I had given this rate in reply to an offer, rather than saying "Fuck You," and the client met it, I'd be so thrilled at the money I wouldn't mind. 1/2

when i was a kid we had to go to a church food bank to receive free ramen, mac & cheese, hamburger helper (without the hamburger) & other such items. I never felt "less than" but I also never knew who provided what we were gifted. The church bought my mom a car one time when she

There is a lot of crossover here with narrative design portfolios. Good solid advice in this thread, and I'm not just saying that because it echoes my advice! 😁 youtu.be/BV41WqouRrc

When you’re too full for dessert and you’re asked if you’d like to see the dessert menu: 1. Pat your stomach, chuckle, say “ooh, I’m quite full, but go on, we’ll have a look!” Chuckle again. Act as if you’re doing something very naughty indeed. 2. When the waiter is gone, say
