Storm Chaser Patrick Makes Games

@patrickpineda.net

I’m a Colorado-based storm chaser, motion designer, game dev and the creator of Beyond Sunset — a retro cyberpunk FPS. Steam: https://s.team/a/1665260 GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/beyond_sunset

The morning convection tomorrow is going to cause problems and inhibit development development, then a bunch of whiny storm chasers are going to go on X and loudly accuse the SPC of overhyping because they drove 12 hours to Indiana and didn’t see a mega-wedge tornado.

I don't want to say smart watches are not quite accurate with their fitness metrics, but I was just awarded my daily step goal for the hand motions I made while eating potato chips.

Matt Cappucci on X today: “defunding NWS is making our weather models less reliable!” Also Matt last year: glazing DOGE and supporting NOAA cuts for “efficiency” and using AI. “I never thought I would get hit by a tornado” said the man who voted for the “getting-hit-by-tornadoes” party.

This problem has nuance and it’s more than just “bad storm chasers are bad.” There is an entire media ecosystem that lacks accountability and nobody is talking about it. It’s irresponsible radar apps. It’s people like Ryan hall. It’s solo chasers who won’t carpool.

For far too long, this country has been governed by people who were either unable or simply unwilling to post brief videos of themselves being bitten multiple times by snakes that they had just picked up for some reason,

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.
