first console: pegasus (nes bootleg) first games: duck hunt - i remember christmas at my grandma's place, and we played duck hunt with the whole family. battle city - multiplayer we could play at the same time, and an editor i used to make super cheesy levels? awesome!

First console: Mattel Intellivision First game: Armor Battle, though I didn't really enjoy it. I connected more with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons on the same system. It was kind of an ur-Zelda, with an overworld map, dungeons, and tools you had to find to clear obstacles. It was cool!

Love Actually is one of the most overrated movies of my lifetime and actively terrible in places but emma thompson saying "nobody's ever going to shag you if you go around feeling sorry for yourself all the time" might be the most important PSA in any film this century

Remembered I drew a realistic warrior woman at one point

bloody cheesecake

i've been playing redfall lately, and yes, it is not a usual arkane imsim, more like an open-world looter shooter with elements of imsim. however, it is still an arkane game, so the level design is ace, and oh boy, the vibes are immaculate. i'm having a blast!

peace? i hate the word

Shigeru Miyamoto says the games that resonate most with players all around the world aren’t those deliberately designed for global appeal, but those based on a developer’s personal interests. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/miyamot...

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

Practical/Quality Reasons - AI output is not guaranteed to be accurate or to work. - Verifying AI output requires human review time. - Verifying AI output requires expertise equal to or greater than that required to generate the output manually. 5/12

there is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11

This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.

The Movies (2005)

found this in my 18yo’s schoolbook from six years ago and it’s going STRAIGHT to the specials box “I enjoyed the womb, as told by my mum, kudos to her.” kudos to her is so funny

crazy how deep-rooted racism in western society is when cyclops, giants, witches, and gods are more believable than black helen of troy. however, i saw the movie. it was fun. i'm always happy to see john leguizamo in anything.

Wrote a quick song about how those meta glasses have ruined my whole look

Shout out to the artist at IO who clearly had fun with the lighting here in this otherwise unremarkable corridor that you're in for about three seconds.

NASA control in the 60s... nerds stopped being cool.

Just going to say here, I think I've said this before, a 'historically accurate' version of the Odyssey is not possible because the Odyssey does not take place in a historical setting - it takes place in a fantastical pastiche of four centuries, mixed in with gods and monsters.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says Grok will make a "full-length movie" of The Odyssey that is "historically accurate" by the end of this year.

Not sure why the IG algorithm has been giving me so much Romeo + Juliet lately but I don’t mind it.

one of the best of the "a retired guy want to live in peace, but they need him for the last mission, he says no, they push him, and he kills them all" genre.

I Am Your Beast (PC): a fine example of my favorite FPS subgenre - the "Zoomer Shooter." Dashing your way to the exit (and beating your best time) is sublime. Dialogue's sparse but unique in how it's presented. Reminds me of Neon White in a mostly realistic setting, with a smidge of Superhot. 👍🏽

Fuck I love Interstate '76

The most cost-saving measure ANY studio can take is keeping crews together.

"Overlong production cycles and exponential budget increases are worsened every time a studio is forced to reassemble its detonated workflow to account for the institutional knowledge lost whenever a dev is cut loose."
