Rett is solo this week while Taylor is away on vacation. He recalls his desire to say “no” more often than he says “yes” and how the stress of over-commitment has impacted GDQ and his pursuit of game dev.
Then Rett fields some questions from listeners just like you!

It was Rett’s birthday last weekend, and he’s back to tell us about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Taylor is taking a swing at a new job. And fiction is sometimes sexist, who knew! /s

Taylor and Rett lost a whole recording, so they spend the morning getting caught up, talking climate change, electric cars, battery technology, and freecodecamp.org.
OMGJam5 is set to commence the first weekend of November, that’s the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. So clear your calendar, get your team (or not) and get signed up over at itch.io.
