This video is fascinating, even if you don’t want to watch the full thing, watch the first 3 minutes.

Saw this almost back to back today. Having people blindly agreeing with us is not good.

So I was watching this video on N64 "illegal" rendering techniques (as one does on a Saturday night), when suddenly... www.youtube.com/watc...

unfortunately this will cascade down to end-consumers in price hikes for sure. www.tomshardware.com...

In case you missed it, we updated our Game Assets Pack this week and it's now reached 11,000 assets in total! Including pixel art, HD sprites and sound effects for all your game dev needs :) chequered.ink/all-game-ass...

can't quite put my finger on it but something is off with "Find in files" and overall search feature in the new Rider 2026.1 update. the results don't seem to match what they used to. might be placebo effect though.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Nintendo got their “summoning characters to make them battle” patent revoked. I love Nintendo but this is a win for the industry as a whole. www.videogameschroni...

it’s pretty obvious why there hasn’t been a 3D Mario since 2017, Mario’s been busy shooting 2 movies almost back to back. Donkey Kong had to step in for Bananza. Mario kart World only happened because we see his back most of the time so it’s a stunt character.

thank the coding gods! web tech for making desktop apps is a mistake and I’m glad Microsoft is hopefully addressing this www.techspot.com/new...

bumped into this interesting post about software piracy "Does software piracy exist?" matthewbutterick.com...

The Silent Hill 1 Japanese PlayStation cover is great

Anyone else has a screenshot on their desktop of a prototype they abandoned a few years ago, and once in a while think “if only I could turn you from a cool screenshot into an actual fun game”?

I was helping someone pick parts for a computer this week and the RAM price alone was more than my full computer (-GPU) from March 2021.

the original cast of RE1 live action intro played Resident Evil for the first time after 28 years www.youtube.com/watc...

gamedev bugs be like "if you do this weird combo of actions it breaks"

probably one of the best things Firefox did in recent memory, right click a tab to add a new split view where you can have 2 websites side by side. very useful instead of multiple windows in some situations.

I've had this LG DualUP monitor for 4 years now and apparently it's discontinued & nearly impossible to find. A friend was trying to buy mine since he can't find similar replacements, this is a rotatable 16:18 aspect ratio with speakers that also allow optional dual input for 2 16:9 screens.

So what happens when most people are using AI to generate code that is then feed into the AI again to train and loop repeats. Remember magnetic tapes? That would be nice.

Same goes for programmers. People will rather help an inexperienced dev who is nice to work with, to learn, than hearing a *great* coder who’s terrible to deal with.

PlayStation 5 is increasing prices again. starting April 2.

Performance advice that sounds universal usually is not. www.cppnext.com/post...

It's amazing how developers keep pushing the limits of retro hardware to what seems impossible limits. This always makes me think of what could be on modern hardware if devs had the time & resources instead of having to rush for deadlines. #gamedev

Was kind of hoping the Mario Wonder update for Switch 2 would have a 120FPS mode even if at 1080p. So far the only game I have tested (on handheld since I have no compatible monitor) is Metroid Prime 4.

This quote from Mad Max Fury Road hits hard sometimes as the world goes further into the rabbit hole: “My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else.”

Some rumors GTA 6 could release on Switch 2 flying around. If they manage to get it stable and with cross-save for other consoles there would be a ton of people double buying just for the portability regardless of graphical quality, that would be one of biggest selling point I think, the cross save.

Sky is looking nice this dawn

oof Epic is laying off over 1000 employees. Fortnite engagement is down. www.epicgames.com/si...

Oh damn, unfortunately Return to Silent Hill is the "bad bad" kind, not the "bad good" kind of movie. The 1st one has great atmosphere even if some poor execution, this one is way way below. I hope Resident Evil 2026 movie doesn't turn out like this :/

Windows announced they are committing to improving quality, including removing unnecessary copilot stuff. Usually skeptical of “tell before show”, but I’ve seen MS do good changes in the past (when at uni MS and C# for example was mostly disliked), so cautiously optimistic.

Interesting comparison of the first months of sales between Switch 1 and Switch 2. The big spikes for each after launch are their first December.

I think many tutorials are poorly made. Every time I see a game start with “press left stick to move” I roll my eyes. later they might have complicated crafting mechanics with no explanation which is fine but that means there’s plenty with little impact. // this code loops an array

Unity is deprecating Built in Render pipeline in 6.5 version.

of the things to come out of this whole situation, the "it looks like a PS2 game" negative comments when someone wanted to express their dislike for the graphics, now turned into "looks like AI slop" which is way better since I have a soft spot for the older retro looks.

Switch 2 can can now run Switch 1 games TV/docked mode in portable mode, which means the extra boost from docked right in S2 portable mode. So higher resolution and performance for several games, taking advantage of S2 1080p screen. gonintendo.com/conte...

It's possible my nostalgia googles are determining my preference here, but I think left looks better; despite some individual elements ones on Max Resolution looking better, as a whole frame it looks worse. Luckily the right call is that the game allows to pick either :) www.youtube.com/watc...

I highly recommend watching Good Luck, Have fun, Don’t Die. It won’t be for everyone but it’s a great fun satire movie.

Hello, my name is Joonas Turner and I am looking for new projects to work on. I have a long experience working in all kinds of games. I am primarily looking for work as a Sound Designer and Music Composer but I am useful as a Game Designer as well. #gamedev #indiedev #gameaudio

Win11 went from good with some UI/UX annoyances to highly unstable to work with so far it’s crazy.

pretty cool seeing more and more devs starting to use Godot.

Nice. Would be cool if someday the XBLIG games from x360 could make a return too.

Sometimes I find myself thinking “what if I start a podcast about nothing?” Like every once in a while I record myself rambling about whatever. Yes it’s also that reference

Happy birthday to us @djlink.bsky.social !! 🥳
