Any indie devs or small studios looking for a part time Project Manager / Producer?

I currently manage multimillion dollar technical projects in aerospace & defense, but long term I’d like to transition into the tech/game industry.

I’m looking for a part time, contract, or project based opportunity where I can bring my project management experience to a smaller game team while learning more about game production firsthand.

If you’re building something and could use help keeping scope, schedules, risks, and execution organized, I’d love to talk. 🎮

Picked up a copy of Need for Speed Underground 2 and one of the discs looked like it had been through a war 😂

Gave it a run through the resurfacer.

Now we find out if it actually works.

Picked up this super scratched up copy of Need for Speed Underground 2 to see if I could save it.

Opened the case and… there are two discs. 😂

I definitely don’t remember this being a two-disc game. Did I just get two copies for the price of one?

@BurkeBlack Is that what you’re playing tonight?

@XBOXGamePass Is that part of the benefits package if you work at XBOX?

[Zane Mercer @ZaneMercerTV]

@CORSAIR I really love the look of that case!

[Zane Mercer @ZaneMercerTV]

@XboxKaneda @asha_shar I don’t see that happening but it would be awesome!

[Zane Mercer @ZaneMercerTV]

@fable I’m so excited for this!!

[Zane Mercer @ZaneMercerTV]

@danellisona I just want to grow. It doesn’t need to be viral, but a constant growth would be nice.

Retro gaming people, what’s the best way to hook older consoles up to a modern 4K TV without making them look terrible?

Good upscaler? HDMI mods? Something else?

Or am I eventually going to end up hunting down a CRT? 😂

[Zane Mercer @ZaneMercerTV]

@Colteastwood The only thing I bought was the steam controller. I don’t see a need for the steam machine. I have an Apollo/Moonshine setup and can stream 4k to any room in the house and stream to my steam deck.

@PowerGPU I have a MSI Suprim RTX 5080

@Vega_Helix This is the type of humor I enjoy. 😂

[Zane Mercer @ZaneMercerTV]

@IGN What does that even mean?

[Zane Mercer @ZaneMercerTV]

@Russell_Stew4RT It’s looking really good!

[Zane Mercer @ZaneMercerTV]

@IGN Trying to win so fans back I see.

[Zane Mercer @ZaneMercerTV]

@LordDweedle I usually just play on the default/normal difficulty.

@Holliiejanes Jim Butcher is awesome. Check out the Dresden Files.

@SSGSentinel Phil was a gamer who wanted every title, regardless of market demand. He hoped developers would design games they envisioned rather than strictly fools was fans wanted. Even so, he earned major respect for imagining a world where creativity flourishes beyond capital gains.
