My newest obsession is watching commented streams of competive games (AoE2) but ONLY the lowest possible ELOs. Competent players "optimize the fun out of the game" and usually play the same meta, but "bad players" play in such creative and wacky ways you never know what's coming!

The tension and comparison between "indie devs" and "AAA devs" exists only in the minds of gamers (derogatory) and armchair devs who play the vicissitudes of the game industry as a hipster class warfare. Indie devs and AAA devs are often only separated by career decisions and the fortunes of fate.

Bluesky's biggest game development feed is getting monetized by ads and subscriptions. If you prefer browsing #gamedev / #indiedev without ads, I can recommend the second biggest feed by @patrickhenschel.de: bsky.app/profile/did:...
