Deadlock added an old jamaican guy whose kit is a complex combination of actual chess moves that shoot you and it's now surpassed Team Fortress 2's all time peak players, all while you still need an invite to play. Valve is winning game of the year in permanent alpha phase

Its also a very hard game, for anyone in the industry who still thinks competitive-multiplayer focused players want simplicity or that simplicity is needed to grow an audience.

I’m still waiting for a public statement regarding this incident and an apology from Freeplay and their board members.

Wren Brier@wrenegade.bsky.social · 5d ago

I've just learned that Freeplay has removed me as a sponsor for Parallels due to an accusation from a speaker that I am a "zionist". Where did the speaker get this idea? Because Unpacking was included in a listicle in an online Jewish publication a few days ago. I didn't even know about the article.

Unity really wants you to delist your assets from their storefront.

I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.

It is actually driving me a bit crazy not knowing where I am on the waitlist for the Steam Frame

Oh good, the Pumpkin Spice Apple Chips that @justicar.xyz made have arrived That's dinner sorted at least

This is a pretty good video as to why VRChat people are going crazy right now. The platform is drowning in AI-generated junk, clones, etc and (at least for now) it's *profitable*, so of course VRC is turning a blind eye to how it's making things more hostile to users youtu.be/R0QVOH_DT_w

I bought a little folding keyboard with a trackpad to see if I can actually use the Steam Frame as a head-mounted computer when I finally get mine. The idea of having a real desktop environment on a headset has me excited, even if it's goofy

Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

A few weeks ago I released an update to Scythe, my Unreal Engine level editor, which has a lot of QoL features and cool new stuff. Here's a list of some of the cool stuff starting with "hotspot locking":

Id have been done SO dirty... but I'm glad that they gracefully gave Quake Champions a final wrap-up. If you ever played it at any time, you get the upgrade to the final retail edition, free.

Quake Champions Signs Off with One Final Update Turning It into a $10 Retail Game

Ah. There's VRChat creating a new list of "Featured" worlds, with the authors of some of them actively showing off how they used generative AI to make thier uploads on X VRC is shutting down negative discussions of it. We've entered the "actively promoting the robots" phase of platform death
