There should always be physical *option* for games on console. Even if that's just the game on a USB stick in a box. I really hope this isn't the last console generation of game collections.

I made this trailer. But it's never a solo effort. An amazing team making a damn fine game provides the goods. I take it, remix it, reflect it back. Major thanks to @obraxis.bsky.social, Donya Abramo, Cole @ @powerupaudio.com, @benprunty.bsky.social and the rest of @unknownworlds.bsky.social ❤️🌊

The games industry ATM is so weird. Likely new consoles in 27/28 need new games, but it feels like studios are closing all the time. I wonder if back-compat is what they will lean on. What will they do when they have fewer games for launch? We need another Xbox 360 indie games/dev moment.
Super proud of this episode of Voices from Beyond, an audio drama which tells the story before the events of Subnautica 2... I think it's our best yet. 😊

Personal theory on RAMpocalypse: Sk Hynix gets bought out by a bigger player who needs RAM, (their market cap is lowest of the big 3 manufacturers). If Apple don't get into the DRAM themselves like they did CPUs, I suspect they might buy them to keep their prices and stock 'reasonable' for consumers

The games industry is in such a dire, yet weird state. The industry money is bigger than ever, the new consoles are likely only a few years away, and need for launch titles (which take years to make) is massive... we should be having a hiring and gaming boom. So why are so many studios closing? 🤔

I was around my little brother for far too long, it seems, and this is what the experience led me to create XD
Slightly disappointed that the new Space Precinct Blu-Ray is AI-upscaled, might be Topaz Video AI. I recognise the AI upscaling patterns and the strange sharp straight lines from the blinds and mess-up of badges in this example. It's not a bad upscale, just wish it was a completely new film scan. 😞
Question mostly for the Brits.... why are the Chocolate Easter Eggs this year, flat and not round? This is unacceptable.
After the potential overheating cables, lack of PhysX 32bit compatability and now defective chips, I'm more and more glad I got my 4090 when I did. www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...
Nvidia explains the missing ROPs — defective silicon in 0.5% of RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti GPUs
Nvidia says that a few GPU chips passed inspection with defective ROPs.

The mantra "Survive until '25" had been spoken about in the VFX industry, which has been on its knees as of late. But I think most creative industries won't *start* to improve until at least '26. I do hope I'm wrong. For the game industry, next-gen games consoles can't come soon enough.

A new friend just dropped in to help celebrate Subnautica's 7th birthday today! 🥳🎂
Amazing how the USA can go backwards by decades in a single speech.
Sometimes I wish I'd invested in Nvidia instead of investing in an Nvidia 4090 GPU 😆
I buy a fair amount of tech stuff from Aliexpress, and I'm constantly impressed at how fast things show up and how well packaged they are. Often, it's faster and cheaper to order from there than things I order from within the UK. Crazy.
