I like this quote "But reasonable people still respond better to writing that values their time, and doesn’t waste it to gratify the writer’s pretensions". Sad

I like this quote "But reasonable people still respond better to writing that values their time, and doesn’t waste it to gratify the writer’s pretensions".
Sadly the author doesn't take his own advice and regales the reader with about 6 paragraphs of text before getting to the point. Once we're at the point, it's all interesting. The lead up, not so much.
You see, I'm an asshole too. I don't really know who you are yet and don't give a flip about why you did or didn't go to GDC. So get to the point first and then add the details about yourself once you have interested me.
Excellent write up otherwise.
- scott_s 15y agoKeep in mind this was a talk originally. Talks are going to be structured differently than essays. Although, a professor at my university gave excellent advice to someone in my research group after an interview talk dry-run: put your conclusions first. Say the most important thing as soon as you can, because most people will not follow the whole talk, for many different reasons. I've tried to structure talks like this since hearing that.
