Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

It's a common myth that "lights in computer games consume real electricity." This is technically true, but unlike real lights, they only do this when you are looking at them.

The way that reactionary players assume that sensitivity consulting agencies are something that come into a project like an invader and demand changes to some pure artistic vision, instead of being something that the developers planned for and deliberately invited in to get their feedback.

"The game engine is why the game is bad" is a myth that won't seem to go away. I'll have you know I can make a bad game in any engine.

The myth that it is possible to make a game. In truth no one has ever successfully made a game

sorry to be crass, but the notion that female devs sleep their way into a job. buddy i have news for you (that doesn't happen)

- asset reuse == lazy - that DLC comes from taking content already planned for the base game and cutting it out for a quick cash grab - perf problems are because the programmers didn’t “optimize,” whatever players think that means - that studios can freely release the code and assets to older games

Most bugs you experience are known but there just wasn't time. Some bugs you experience already have a fix that just couldn't be tested in time to roll out. Rushing things risks causing more issues than it fixes. Also unless you are a programmer, you don't really know what a "game engine" is.

everybody thinks programming is real but actually there’s a real tiny guy moving around trapped inside the computer

That the devs are lazy. The devs may be idiots, ignorant, naive, or hopelessly optimistic. That totally happens. But it's very rare that something that ships in a game is bad because nobody cared to make it good.

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

Do you think the people who post no-commentary playthrough footage of video games on youtube realize how much they're load-bearing infrastructure for everyone doing UI/UX (and adjacent) game design work

yeah the steam machine is expensive, but the good news is everyone is making so much more money thanks to our AI-enhanced productivity

There are a few people in games that are so singularly stable that any change to that will send ripple of concern or consequence through the industry, and very rarely will anyone outside of game dev know their names. Sjoerd choosing to leave Epic is definitely one of those moments.

Texaw’s Garage environment portfolio piece up! Check it out on artstation www.artstation.com/artwork/qJ4Dgz Really happy with this one and its chunky dusty vibe. It performs quite well - I actually get a frame rate boost inside vs out! This is from my passion game project Lost Moon.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

Remember when Fortnite was a PvE game and they kept it around even though it wasn't doing great and at some point someone said I dunno, let's try it as a battle royale? Imagine if Epic had just laid the team off after like four days.

Powerful magic

My new gaming addition is Dwarf Fortress. Btw don’t name a dwarf after your partner as they’ll get squished and die by a falling tree they were chopping down…

Who would have thought taking a break from work to relax recharges you?!

Added emojis to my plugin list in Reaper 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #gameaudio #audio

just a bedtime thought, but it's wild how often people in the gaming industry are not properly credited for their work on games they worked on! always remember to keep a personal list of your games and contributions so you can vouch for yourself!
