  • As someone who spent the better part of a decade in recruitment. You honestly never know what you get. So you have to take into count as many factors as you can. Education is a commitment, it means you had to go to school, study and prove your knowledge to graduate. Experience is also great, as its more proven skill. Unfortunately both have pit falls in their own ways. The example that pops to mind is i hired two people;one with alot of experience and one with alot of education. The educated one lacked critical problem solving and when a curve ball hit or something that was outside of normalcy she stumbled. The experienced one, always knee what to do on a practical level but lacked detailed workmanship, as she had done jobs so similar for so long instead of following protocol or contacting her supervisor. She would do what she thought was right and stumbled. Experience and education compliment eachother and neither should be undervalued.





  • Honeslty, I thought it was way above my head. Im a social worker so very far from game dev. My friend sorta nice bullied me into it stating all the time anyone can do it the hardest part is getting started. He was right once I started rolling it came together. Now I do it as a hobby after the kids go to bed. I treat it like playing video games, its a creative, problem solving, process that i really enjoy. I honestly believe anyone can make a video game with a good idea!


  • A bad teacher can stunt you. I always wanted to make video games, but my high school programming teacher’s style didn’t mesh. Even though I enjoyed the class, he suggested I drop it because he thought I wasn’t a good fit for the field, I reluctantly agreed. Twenty years later, I’ve completed most of the programming for a game I plan to release one day, though I can still picture him tapping the chalkboard every time I asked a question like that was supposed to help…

    The more emails released the more the guy seems to be an immature, narcissistic and idiot. Remember this guy thought him and the other pedophiles of the world were the victims. The guy thought/thinks(?) nothing he does is wrong and he’s untouchable. A fortnite account is the least of the bullshit.












  • When the West first sent tanks, there were a lot of reports that front-line Russians fled when they saw them coming. Out of shock and fear of “NATO.” Ukraine mostly used the tanks as response troops, which may have been the right call, but something that causes fear is invaluable, and Ukraine didn’t seize the opportunity with Western tanks for offensives. In my humble opinion, while Russians are terrified of Robo Kill Machines, push them before they become normalized to them. Fear of something you don’t know is very powerful.

    Sorry for the rant ahead of time but I may be in the minority but a natural 20 shouldn’t be a get outta jail. Imho it should be a positive and achieve the goal but not some impossible event. Ex: Barb strikes machinery to get it to work (roll 20) it barely works doing halfh the job instead of the standard the machinery works perfectly doing 100% of the job and rewards your dumb idea to smash delicate machinery.
