At least, it doesn't sizzle for me -  I run towards talks where the game designers try to share the magic of their craft, or where we have someone who was at the center of an important event give their memories of that event, adding to our mosaic of knowledge with lines of thought or Buy Final Fantasy XIV Gil memory otherwise destined to be lost. However, it's not my job to decide what is getting saved. My job is to save, to ensure that what people said and did on these tapes is there for a later audience to use and play when they find something that sizzles for them.Among the tapes, I found one with the forthright title and byline 'Do Online Games Still Suck? by Berry' [GDC Vault audio link.

What I realized very quickly was that I was holding a presentation by none other than Danielle Bunten Berry. Dan Bunten, creator of M.U.L.E., Seven Cities of Gold, and a number of other critically acclaimed titles, had been the first keynote speaker for GDC, in 1988. I am not currently aware of any recording of that speech, although we did provide a report written at the time of what the speech was about. Here, in this 1998 tape, is Dan Bunten, now Danielle Bunten Berry, presenting what was her last GDC speech. Sick and ultimately dying of lung cancer a couple months later, this is possibly Cheap FF14 Gil the last public recording of her before we lost her forever.To a lot of transgender folks, Dan/Dani's transformation and unapologetic shifting of phases in her life stands as a pioneering or heroic move, even 12 years after her death; while looking for other footage of Dani I found this TG game developer thrilled at a mention of Bunten during a GDC speech.
