what up

gamers are always either surprised to hear this exists, or shocked to hear that it isn't always what's happening when you squeeze through a narrow gap

the bullies at school keep making me squeeze through narrow gaps so that they can seamlessly integrate cutscenes into gameplay without a loading screen.

Well, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

The way my video game instincts are kicking in right now is why gun control is important

JoeIO is on Fab now. Buy it and tell your boss to buy it at the much higher corporate price (or whatever it is called) www.fab.com/listings/94c...

JoeIO

JoeIO is an input/output (I/O) style system for level scripting in Unreal (currently 5.7 and up). If you don’t know what that is or means, I have an informative blog post all about it,&...

I have released my level scripting i/o system, it's called JoeIO and it works great for me and at work but it's early so be gentle and just holler if you come across any weirdness. An explanatory video is below www.joewintergreen.com/joeio-a-leve...

I'm not nostalgic I just want to attend GDC 2014

that ass creed remaster has me singing shanties in the car

Big Walk comes out TOMORROW, August 4. "But what time??" we hear you ask. Well! Let us tell you: • on Switch 2 and PS5: late morning-ish for your console region* • on PC and Mac: 6am PDT exactly (11pm AEST)

yeah like, epic's engine licensing business has always been insanely successful, plus fortnite, and i keep reading people explaining it like "you might think so but that doesn't make enough money". of course it does. you are just insane

sacrificing engine licensees across games and film at the altar of the metaverse, genuine mad king hearing voices type shit

to the extent that there is a "male loneliness epidemic" it can be put down to the failure of men to play the co-op campaign of splinter cell conviction together, and to a lesser extent the failure of ubisoft to properly support that product

the glasshouses in influx are the most benefits-from-lumen shit ever

i had a good run there but of late the part of my brain that does game dev shit is shutting off on the weekends. mmmm

the only thing missing from the splinter cell conviction story is the two dudes should fuck right before the tragic ending. it would really tie the room together

The Tax Collector Man@coolgoblinzone.bsky.social · 4d ago

it's a given that something like this would be fun but i was shocked at how engaging and successfully dramatic it was. legit excellent. i can't believe how invested i got in these two specific dudes

buckle up to hear something fucking stupid: in ue6's Verse, there is no type called "bool". instead the true/false type is called "logic"

that one big article about how a bunch of americans were taught how to read wrong changed everything for me. now when i get a comment about something i never actually said i think oh, are you one of the kids that got taught three cueing instead of phonics? are you half guessing what i said

playing a ton of splinter cell conviction again lately, thinking again about how (especially with new things like hotspot uv and the return of good LD tools in scythe) you can make shit at that level of fidelity so easily now. if anyone was getting any funding we would be drowning in great shit

In honour of everyone thinking Half-Life 3 might be about to be announced (lmao), and me being the biggest worst/best Half-Life sicko, here I exclusively reveal to you the identity of the Gman

apropos of nothing, here's an old blog post i did about piracy and when/whether it's ok and things like that when the people who make the games aren't even getting to keep their jobs, far less profit from a game's success, pirate those suckaz tbh www.joewintergreen.com/one-time-a-g...

The thing is: it isn’t fair that being employable hinges on 100 per centing all measures. failure is a part of everyone’s journey to getting good at anything

played some additional Splinter Cell Von Kitchen co-op (spoilers for the ending here) and also the actually incredible multiplayer mode "FACE-OFF" where you compete to kill the most dudes and also each other www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj80...

Played some Splinter Cell Von Kitchen co-op with @coolgoblinzone.bsky.social. A banger that doesn't get enough credit for being insanely good because it's full of edgy bullshit youtu.be/-Cb5fNQM9IE?...

*being rushed by flood infection forms* that's what good pussy sounds like

Normalize describing a vector's direction without regard to its length

going all digital in a world where steam exists and just put out a console is a sorta hilarious move tbh. like...you will not compete

Agents of SHIELD rules right up to the end did you know. But also, no two franchises have ever been better suited to one another than this and XCOM There should be an Agents Of SHIELD XCOM game that follows the events of the show

Joe Wintergreen@joewintergreen.com · 10mo ago

i am on to season 6 of 7 of agents of shield, which i also watched as it came out. that's such a good show. best thing to come out of the mcu but also insane it kept getting made that long when it wasn't, like, """going well""" in a capital sense. it would be canceled after 1 season now for sure

my second funeral was for a fella with 6 sons. they made the coffin themselves, and when it was being lowered into the hole it wouldn't go, it was slightly too wide. so i have this memory of the guy's 6 middle aged sons just kicking the shit out of his coffin, getting it into the ground bit by bit

i can play any song off the soundtrack to jazz jackrabbit 1 in my head on demand. provided it was part of the shareware episode. this has served me well in life. if you need to lock in you just play the bonus level song

patching in multiplayer is such a sick move
