12 Days of #DEVMAS ✨ Day 6: Most deranged chat (internal convo or code comment) There are many to choose from, but this image documenting the lead-up to NextFest is uhhh. something

I had a thread where I complained about how "unread" pips in inventories+menus "drive me crazy". I deleted it; it was an emotional take on a complex design space. Instead I'll talk about: 1: The problems they're trying to solve 2: Why I think they're often a bad solution 3: Why they happen anyways

I've been having a lot of fun delving into short form video for EU4! Have a look if you want I guess youtube.com/@europaunive...

woah my name is in a gamerant article 😳 Community management for BTS has been SO rewarding and it's not even out yet. Whether it's cutting a trailer reel or writing a dev diary, stepping back to see the big picture of this crazy project is overwhelming in the best way possible.

end-game REVEALED

Map travel in Fallout 1 & 2

I have lured a flock of currawongs into my backyard. Spent a good hour yesterday just chilling with them and enjoying their beautiful song ❤️

feeling immense power, strength & authority remembering that i internally pronounce bluesky like "brewski" and no one can do anything about it

Got to join the industry panel giving feedback on first-year game dev student projects at AIE Melbourne. Very fun opportunity!! projects were also very solid, with most work needed in production considerations & the way pitches were structured

what's up gamers
