I don't have time to resolve it in my spelling/grammar/formatting pass, but the video for Haalka isn't getting rendered very nicely.

[AngelOnFira]

I think the playdate section needs a formatting pass, since it's quite long, and lots of the formatting on it makes it harder to read. I might put something in my PR, but I also might not figure it out fully.

Are the links here Rust-related, or just good GDC talks? I'm not sure it's the best to add completely unrelated content.

[janhohenheim]

@AngelOnFira the GDCs are not Rust related, but imo it feels like a bit of an omission to not include them in an industry periodical, given how influential GDC is in the game dev space. I could change the header to make it more clear that they are not Rust related if you want.

Edit: Per Discussion on Discord, I've decided to remove that section. Relevant argument:

I feel like I'm missing something, is there something about these specific talks that make them "an omission" to not have?
I don't agree with the idea of how "influential GDC is in the gamedev space", there is controversy surrounding how inclusive GDC is in general based on its pricing
There are hundreds of videos released from GDC every year, so I was more just thinking about why these
And don't get me wrong, there are some GDC talks that I absolutely love, but I don't think they're inherently relevant to the newsletter
However
There are some talks from GDC that have discussed Rust in some capacity
And those would be dope to have
Not sure about recent ones, but I do like the initiative of looking for talks in the wild that are about Rust and gamedev
Cause I feel like they are out there
