This this this Im of the belief that everyone who works on games is a designer. A model made for a game is done with game design choices ingrained. Same with FX, sound, tools, any other thing you can think of. Regardless of title it all serves to design the game.

there's something that's been bothering me about this and it just clicked people do not realize that game design is not exclusively the realm of people with "designer" in their title, even in AAA coming up with 'how everything works' is collaborative across all disciplines

People posting breakdowns of their GDC costs is really useful: if you were at GDC, what did your hotel, travel, food, cabs, paperwork (ie. visas, proof of income, etc), and event tickets cost? It helps demystify the expenses & allows devs more informed choices on where to go.
