Super Meat Boy devs are chill and hard workers Jonathan blow dude is pretentious but has a lot of interesting stuff to say Phil Fish is still as insufferable and unlikeable as I remembered
Documentary shows how hard game dev is and the toll it takes on a person. But the biggest lesson is to not be like and react like Phil Fish. (Fez was a pretty good game tho)

That Edmund guy seems like a pretty good game dev, just wish he made something a bit more focused on cats though.

Really interesting and humanizing look into that world. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would.

It takes a really special kind of person to be a game developer, the stress and toll it takes on peoples lives is so insane! Massive appreciation
