Discussions section

[ozkriff]

i've been considering for some time to introduce a new "discussions" section into the newsletter for links to handpicked reddit/twitter/urlo/etc threads that provide useful information. should we try it?

Discussions

• /r/rust_gamedev:
  • "Is WGSL a good choice?".
  • "Unity files patent for ECS in game engines that would probably affect many Rust ECS crates, including Bevy's".

I think this is a good idea. The sections at the bottom are quite cookie-cut from the previous month's newsletter whenever I'm the lead editor. This will also be a good opportunity to add content that might not have had sections written about it?

Hmmm, that sounds like a separate issue/suggestion to me - if we do it, I'd prefer a separate section, like "Other News" I used to write in first newsletters - https://gamedev.rs/news/001#other-news - though folks didn't quite like it back then (that's why I removed it in favor of normal sections).

I guess it's done.
