Literally. Every. Studio. I. Ever. Worked. Over. The. Last. Twenty. Plus. Years.
Hey, thanks for finishing Fallout Tactics gold master everyone... you are all redundant. Byeeee.

Remember the Tribes 2 team? They fired everyone so they could sell the studio real estate.

Thanks to all the of the outsource team for your hard work- byeeeeee
This is standard industry practice. The core team move on to preproduction and everyone else goes back onto the job market.
#gamedevs Hands up if you have worked at a studio that downsized after shipping a title?

One thing I struggled with with all the #adhd books I read after my diagnosis was that they aren't designed for people with adhd.
😬 long blocks of text.

😬 subjects run on page after page and switch subjects mid page.

😬 very few illustrations.

😬 anecdote first, explanation after.

😬 constantly introducing new people in examples and telling their story. I have to switch focus and repicture them.
The authors are either neurotypical doctors or they are ADHD writers who are being filtered through standard ideals of what a book is, based on existing books. This is either subconscious or imposed by publisher

Video games are a vital coping strategy for people in these dark, fearful times.
They are escapes to worlds they can feel in control, feel stimulated, feel like they are getting somewhere.

We should design society like that.
Everyone, I want to remind you that you are the player character. You are not an NPC.

Get some XP. Discover some hidden secrets. Unlock new areas. Customise your character.

Be the hero.
Do a side quest tomorrow

Does the word "medicated" conjure up an image of a glassy eyed overly bright housewife?

Perhaps it conjures a sluggish, barely concious patient in a mental asylum?

These are Hollywood tropes we need to address.
'Medicated' simply means 'being treated using a medication'.

If you pop a pill for your headache, you are medicated. You have a medicine inside your system.

'Medicated' has become associated with some pretty bad stereotypes in our media, and that brings fear.
I am medicated. I take several medicines that give me a good quality of life.

It is true that in emergency mental wards they tend to give patients sedatives, as the reason they are there is they are under extreme stress. And, I can confirm, you become a bit of a zombie.
