You know in SimCity when you build some infrastructure and you see people kind of filling it up and using it in real time? I feel like I'm seeing that happen right now on the 2 line from Redmond to Seattle. The 2 line was a ghost town last week and now that it goes to Seattle it's packed.

When some skaters took up residence outside the ID@Xbox showcase yesterday at GDC,
@jessicatronn.bsky.social
hooked them up with ID@Xbox fingerboards and a limited edition High on Life x Xbox deck for Best Trick. If you're at GDC come talk to us at the Lobby Bar in South Hall and grab one too!

Today was one of those days where you have other plans and then the next thing you know there's a plumber in your crawl space* and suddenly you're about to get a new driveway.

"That looks really good, have you considered the blue from the Luxembourg flag? That blue seems like it's going to be really hot soon. Just get the Pantone for that and try it." -sentences that are super weird unless you work in game development. Also, that Luxembourgian cyan/blue is pure gold.

All it really does in a daily basis is serve music, and run some scripts if I digitize a CD, but I'm still pleased with the uptime since I got it working.

I saw a video comparing Donkey Kong by Coleco on ColecoVision vs 2600. The 2600 shipped in '77, 5 years after the game industry was born. ColecoVision shipped in 1982, 10 years after. About the same relative distance to Pong as PS1 vs Series X. Or Coleco and SNES. It's interesting to think about.

I worked with Nick at my first game dev job at EA in the mid-2000s. He was such a great guy, and he went out of his way to help me learn the ropes, even though I wasn't even on his team! He had such a great attitude, and really seemed to delight in working with other people to make games.

Really missing Nick today. I'd love to talk to him about the Xbox Ally and hear what he thought!! Missed in most tributes (like the great one linked here) is that he was a core member of the original ID@Xbox v-team, in addition to later leading ID@Azure.

I'm at a wedding and most people here are hardcore rock/gem/mineral people and it's interesting how close the conversations are to videogame people but with a different subject. "I have so many rocks. I mean not too many, but so many..."

I'm playing the Xbox PC edition of Octopath Traveler II on my ROG Ally right now and every building looks like Strausburg. Also I know I'm LTTP but it's π₯. Had to drag myself away from pixelated half timbered buildings to go look at real ones this morning.

This is the exact kind of place you go inside and in the first room there's a save point and like 3 maximum health / spell point packs and then someone asks you if you're ready to go upstairs or if there's more you need to do in town first. (Also Strausburg is very beautiful!)

This is a berry that is edible and common in Europe that they don't have in America. Also I was going in a secret entrance at gamescom and a guard asked me if I was at kolnmesse for the aircraft equipment conference or the game show. I'm like "ma'am I'm wearing a polygon skull t-shirt..."
