The Seven Voyages Of Steve

@Bobbins lack of information permanence is a huge problem, I wish it was on more people’s radars. The trend towards microblogging, chat, video all seems to prioritise the “now” over accreting knowledge over time, so very little of it sticks. It’s like trying to build a library on a conveyor belt where only the last 3 books are easily accessible and everything else has been tossed into a pit which is *technically* still possible to access, but practically not. I miss the forum era so badly

@sinbad @Bobbins Yeah, the loss and dissolution of collective experience over the last 15 years is pretty shocking. I've actually thought to myself a few times, "I should set up a gamedev forum," and I /could/ do it - I've hosted and managed forums before - but at the same time I have bugger-all expectation it'd get used, or ever appear in search results (and be essentially pointless as a result) 😩
