Haven't really delved into art for quite a while, but hopped into Vermillion VR and did a quick painting practice in a mountain lake setting. It got me looking forward to really diving back into more VR art when the Steam Frame comes out. #VermillionVR #VRArt #art

a screenshot from the art application Vermillion - VR Painting, showing a painting on an easel depicting a mountain lake scene.the same painting from the other screenshot, but a direct image file of the painting rather than having it on an easel in a 3d scene.

Celebrating the 4th this year by deploying a few 1.5kt tactical nukes on a tank factory in the game Nuclear Option. Very absurd game with the premise: What if we just said "fuck it, we ball" when it comes to nuclear weapons in a modern military setting.

Steam machine pre-orders up, not AS bad as I feared but still might be a hard sell to console gamers at over $1k for the base model. The randomized pre-order queue is an interesting approach.

Watching Jerma do his top ~360ish games of all time list has been fascinating. Really goes to show how VASTLY different someone's experience in the hobby of video games can be. There is such a massive breadth of experiences to be had when it comes to video games.

Not sure how getting a trailer up on the Summer Games Fest thing works, but if you had to pay money to put your game on there and the framerate was that terrible on the Twitch stream and the audio was desynced like that on Youtube you probably deserve a refund from Geoff.

A Blender technique I've been really into these days is hand painting black and white maps for 90's stylized shadows. I'm still working on getting good at it but it's a really useful technique for getting cool shadows that don't make physical sense. #b3d I'll explain in the comments:

REALLY hope this is nothing more than reputation laundering (which is also gross given the harms these AI companies are causing/enabling) but I don't blame anyone for being sketchy of any association with these companies, always best to assume the worst intentions until proven otherwise.

Some further thoughts on Crimson Desert. I'm about 100 hours in now, still feels like i'm around the first 1/3 of the game based solely on how far quests have taken me around the map. The game slowly doles out systems in a way that avoids feeling overwhemling, I really enjoy the camp expansion...

One thing I find interesting is that despite seemingly the ENTIRE INDUSTRY trying to kill VR and make it seem as uncool as possible... VRChat has grown almost every month for almost eight years now and is among the top 25 most played things on Steam. Niche? Perhaps, but a big & hungry one.

New Lethal Company update came out, and the game is just as hilarious and terrifying as ever. Zeekerss is a creative genius when it comes to blending comedy and horror.

The President is too unstable to serve. The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked to stop the President from doing further damage to the safety and security of the US and the world. We should be called back to DC now to vote on the War Power's Resolution to stop the war.

Been playing Crimson Desert a bunch of the last day, way too early to give any kind of overall impression of it, but I can tell already that is an insanely massive ambitious game. I can also tell it won't be enjoyable for everyone, even tho I'm enjoying much of what it has to offer. I wish...
