The union won't be recognised by the company and they will all be fired at worst, ignored at best. Sadly the viable options really are either to leave the games industry or band together and form your own company and do things "ri

Over-ear headphones for me get too uncomfortable during the day, either too hot or they press down too hard on the sides of my glasses. Currently using the Shure 535 in ear monitors - only real complaint with them is that the bluetooth adap

That does of course assume the ability to buy good roasted beans somewhere relatively near you.

Haven't worked for Chinese owned ones per say, but have worked in China, I would say it's very viable. Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan are also worth looking at - though the cost of living in HK is astronomical.

Having been part of a relatively popular game shut down, we agonised over this. There were several reasons given, from “we might use it again in the future” and “we’ll need to be really careful about the database” I suspect there was also a

Any idea what search terms to use to find exercises like this? I know practice is key here, I just want to make it as structured and targeted as I can!

Very easy to say, a lot harder to do Equally, finally leaving the games industry was one of the better things I did.

Someone still has to at least pay for the bandwidth though... I agree it's not an Apples to Apples comparison, but it always strikes me that people forget they used to have to pay for distribution too. I remember one piece of software

TL;DR Good luck, give it time, stay busy It took me nearly two years after a ‘startup’ I was working at collapsed and I realised I was burned out until I was ready to consider writing code as a dayjob again. I was in a comfortable position,

Me too! Though I've really noticed it the past two or three years (maybe because I've been using more 4/5k monitors?) I've been meaning to poll friends for a while now to see if it was "just me" in a way it&#x2

Both in the UK and HK I’ve been in rooms where there is a clear lack of anything approximating clean and fresh air, be it faulty installation or poor adherence to code, I don’t know. Either way, at least on a personal level, increased aware

Tried trackpads in the past, and ended up with sore fingers from the repeated drag fiction. I’m not the biggest fan of my mouse either - best device I had was an old Logitech trackball, sadly they seem to have stopped making them now and I

Epic stop the cheats working, within 24hrs he has them working again. It’s a continual game of cat and mouse, and a kid over summer has way more disposable time than your average game developer. Eventually you can get to a stage where you m
