Want to get into the game dev industry? I made this (clickbait) mistake, too. Also, you’re never too young or old.
Still laughing at this 12 hours later 😂 #GodofWarRagnarok
Stumbled into this and I am amazed. I won’t be able to unhear it and it’s kinda the best thing.

I know I haven’t been posting much for a while, but I just gotta say… best team ever. Last night was a blast (and I’m sure I made a fool of myself, but That’s Okay!)
I've been waiting 4 years to tell this joke.
12 years ago! Have many good memories of working on New Vegas. Learned a ton and made many good friends along the way.

We are thrilled to announce that #GodofWarRagnarok has gone gold! On behalf of SMS and all of our partners, thank you to the fans for supporting us over the course of development. We’re almost to launch and can’t wait for you to play on November 9! 💙
There is a general perception that C/C++ is only for peak performance cases, so API can be ugly — if you wanted easy and clear, you would be using a different language. I think that is unfortunate. It is possible to make “joyful API” in C.
I don't know, I think this is some pretty advanced fixing, if I do say so myself.

Get a glimpse of the dangers Kratos and Atreus will face in the new Father and Son CG trailer for God of War Ragnarök.
Behold, a god’s hammer. God of War Ragnarök Jötnar Edition comes with a 16" replica of Thor's hammer. Watch the full video, plus pre-order info: play.st/3alRwS6

It's not the lack of intelligence, it's the lack of focus that is stopping you. 🧠
With a hugely heavy heart, I had to say goodbye to @idSoftware today after almost 8 years. They're an amazing studio filled with amazing people and I wish them the best! I have loved my time with them and highly recommend them if you're ever looking. I will miss them dearly.
Planning ahead doesn't mean knowing everything up front. It means taking the time to study the problem, what you can figure out now and what you'll have to keep an eye on as things progress. No plan survives contact with the enemy, but how do you FIND the enemy without a plan?
@kebby Maybe C and macros are for introverts that want to get the thing done and go home, and Modern C++ is for people that enjoy discussions by the kitchenette and whiteboards.
As a software developer, you _will_ perform all of these tasks (some surprisingly often.)
