[Ep366] Hotkey Immortality

In this episode, we discuss no scope game dev, independent levers, and readability. You’ve gotta think in the short term to survive, but the long term to succeed. Making that mental shift is hard when the world doesn’t want you to do it. But if something that used to take you a minute now only takes a second, you’ve stolen some time back from the void.
