The more I read one piece the more I’m convinced the D in Monkey D.Luffy stands for Delano, it’s obvious that FDR had some of that “Will of D”

Im seeing a lot of people post about how excited they are to replay OoT, and how scary some parts will be or how they’re worried about getting frustrated with the water temple etc. or this remake definitely being a contender for GOTY against GTA6… oof, I worry this remake will hurt some people

Im catching up on the not E3 news of the past week, and I’m so disappointed in how men are simultaneously too lonely (do you not see how creepy this stellar blade situation is) and not lonely enough (do you not see how stupid this god of war situation is). What a joke.

I’m reading a lot about how hardware becomes more and more inaccessible from a consumer POV, alongside the downward spiral of Windows as an OS, but I do wonder how this impacts indie game development as well

Death of an estranged parent kind of feels like having to mourn the relationship a second time. I’m on my way to Friesland (for the uninitiated it’s a place with heart not fries), probably to see my father (and his side of the family) for the last time.

Well, the dreaded moment has arrived, my father with whom I am very low contact, has a tumour and it’s likely to require palliative care rather than treatment And, as expected, being very low contact with him, this is leaving me with very conflicting feelings

I’m skeptical of the whole “leave cooked rice out just 3 hours and you’ll have to throw it away” argument… I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten rice left out overnight many times?? Is this a similar thing to MSG being bad?? Idk

as I'm figuring out 3D character modeling pipelines getting back into Blender, I have to say: character modelers on Youtube need to slow down on the gooner mindset 😩 I just want to know how to fold an arm or how to make things in a nondestructive way, stop ittt my yt algorithm is getting destroyed!

For some reason I’ve completely forgotten about most of the gameplay of Twilight Princess, so now I have the incredible opportunity of discovering a full classic 3D Zelda game as an adult who has experience in game development. I’ve just beaten the first boss and it’s fascinating

Just came across this post on my tt, where someone received a very concerning email asking for sources on a presentation they did. The fact that even 5 commenters believe this was a positive email thinking they did a good job prompting an LLM to do their work for them is insane man 😥

Email reading “Dear _____,
I'm going to be direct with you.
On Friday you presented market analysis that our partners in Singapore have been trying to articulate for three months. I don't say this lightly,our Singapore team has six analysts.
Two board members asked me separately who prepared your slides.
I told them I'd find out first.
I need to know exactly where that analysis came from before Monday's call with the client. This is not optional.”Comments on the email from the previous image:
“my dumb ahh would have interpreted that email as a congratulations on such impressive work”

“is it not ?? I thought it was
congratulating her for being able to do something that the other analysts couldn't”

“lol yeah same so this is not good?”

“me too lol, l'd have said thanks”More comments:
“not me thinking they were congratulating you”

“discredit Al and credit yourself tbh”

“This happened to me this week 😊”

I'm in the process of figuring out general character shapes and visual language for the game we're currently working on, and since I've been dealing with the technical and design side of making games for …years at this point… I'm having quite the hard time!

I’ve now seen people call the Ontario California “all you had to do was pay us a livable wage” guy “Paper Mario” and I’m really into this extended universe

UK friends! I'm considering attending the London Games Fest next month! Do I know ppl who will be there? I'm starting to plan some conference visits like Gamescom & Develop Brighton too, hoping to meet friends as well as meeting with potential publishers! Let me know if you'll be at any of them!
