"It's vital to me that I keep up to date on new game design technology. I refer to a mixture of websites, email subscriptions, YouTube channels, blogs, podcasts, and online education tools. My most frequently used resources include gamedesigning.org, TechCrunch and the Bethesda blog. If you have any recommendations, I am happy to take suggestions."

It must be a habit that you nurture every day. There's no way you can keep up with everything, but you can keep up with most of what's happening. You need to keep in constant communication with others, so the knowledge is shared and spreads to the whole team.

These are excellent approaches to keeping up to date in an ever-changing industry. I recommend using "I" instead of "you" so that the answer is more personal. I have provided an example, below.
