Realized that Meet, Teams, Slack, Discord, Zoom and other video call apps handle camera mirroring differently. Apologies to all of the partners and indie devs I've spoken to recently who were confused by the mirrored NATAS decks hanging behind me...
A screen capture of Natas Kaupus' Wikipedia page reading: "In 1987, Kaupas had his debut role in the Santa Cruz skateboarding video Wheels of Fire. In the film, Kaupas displayed an ability to ollie which far surpassed anyone else, and his part is considered to have paved the way for the new direction of skateboarding. This role gave Kaupas a sudden jolt of notoriety, however attention was soon turned to the spelling of his first name, as 'Natas' spelled backwards is 'Satan'. Kaupas attempted to explain his name as being the masculine version of the Lithuanian female name 'Natalija'. Despite this however, many schools and shops instituted a ban on any merchandise bearing the name 'Natas'."

Holy shit: Deutsche Bahn has made the insane decision to stop all train traffic between Düsseldorf and Cologne... during the week of Gamescom.
Impact on train services
In order to further renovate its existing network and advance the RRX expansion project, DB needs periods when no trains run between Düsseldorf and Cologne. 

From Friday, August 21, 2026, at 9 p.m. until Friday, September 4, 2026, at 9 p.m. , the entire line between Cologne-Mülheim and Düsseldorf Central Station will be closed. Long-distance, regional, and S-Bahn trains will be diverted or replaced by buses.
The S-Bahn line between Cologne-Mülheim and Düsseldorf Central Station will be closed  from Friday, September 4th, to Friday, December 4th, 2026.

Another tip: Keeping in mind this has a studio-grade condenser capsule, so if you tend to pronounce hard p's, t's, etc. (plosive sounds), there's an excellent pop filter adapter made for the RØDE Podmic: rode.com/en-us/produc...

WS14 | Pop Filter for PodMic | RØDE (US)
The WS14 is a deluxe pop filter purpose-built to minimise plosives when used in conjunction with your PodMic or PodMic USB, helping you capture crystal-clear audio.

Came here to suggest the Podmic USB 👆 OR go even deeper with the NT1 studio set 😘👌 Røde and their mount/arms are next level above anything with RGB off the shelf. Also, Australian owned and operated vs US or Chinese owned, if that helps in anyway.

if your small game dev team with no producer is motivated to progress the game & pushing through setbacks… … someone on your team has the producer role anyway and they are probably doing double duty putting lot of effort into facilitating everyone’s work.

The thing about actually making your video game real is that your projected imagination of what it will be is gradually substituted with concrete reality, and that reality is mostly going to be pretty bad until the game is almost finished. This is pretty heavy psychologically.
