Happy New Year from the Reeves family Taking the following energy into 2026.

Naw you know what im good thanks.

IMO, Secret sauce of Arcade Rally games, compared with sim games like Dirt Rally, is the concession that the road, dirt, ice, etc is modelled *smooth* It bends a lot, but you're not dealing with noisy physical undulations randomising connection to the road, microjumps. Means Predictable handling

Been on a bit of a Rally game hit lately, bit starved for rally games that felt right to me. I grew up with Sega Rally and Colin McRae and the modern day super realistic rally games just DO NOT do it for me. Old School Rally has absolutely hit that mark tho store.steampowered.com/app/2824660/...

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Billionaires should be taxed out of existence.

Of The Devil is so far my GOTY 2025.

Christmaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

Glass Onion tonight! Wanting to peel my face off at the showboaty billionaire techbroisms, the manosphere streamer, the influencer who thought a sweatshop was where they made sweatpants and watching The Fall of it was was so delicious. Also, Daniel Craig is LOVING it. youtube.com/shorts/LFc5h...

Made time to watch a movie finally. Very much enjoyed Knives Out. Like, you wouldn't approach a murder mystery as fun but damn if that ain't what it is.

Gave Baby Steps a go and was rather enthalled with it for two hours til i Bennett Foddy'd my way down a hill and uninstalled. Interesting concept. Love the idea of redefining basic movement mechanics, all too stale in most big games these days. But i'll pass on the Frustration gameplay.

Hey did you like Ace Attorney? Did you like the cyberpunk world building of VA11 Hall-A? get Of The Devil I am one evening into the free Episode Zero and I can tell you already this game is a super fresh, intense and detail-oriented Lawyer VN. It really rewards you for paying attention.

Dang, man. Road to Hell was a formative memory driving at night with my dad when I was like, 6. RIP. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0...

Dad just went off on a real Train Good, Car Bad rant and I'm just nodding here like by all means preach that gospel.

Finished Öoo in on the ride down to england, great game, be a bomb caterpillar. store.steampowered.com/app/2721890/...

everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most. sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again. quanticfoundry.com/2025/12/18/g...

Obligations: Done. New mission: Become a potato armed with a Steam Deck for 2 weeks.

artists are generally people which cannot be stopped.

I don't quite remember what it was in 22, possibly a Trails series game, but on retrospect it should have been 40K Darktide. 1800 hours later and I reckon it's the best coop L4D-like that exists in gaming today. youtu.be/w_o5oOJs_v0?...

Game accessibility isn’t niche — over 1 billion people worldwide have a disability. Accessible design expands your audience by default.

You should play Darktide, it's very good.

Hi, I'm the CEO of Glorbo, the company who enjoys near unprecedented goodwill in our field, I'm here today to talk to you about our pivot to using the Magic 8-Ball powered by children's bones that everybody hates, I've given myself psychosis listening to the 8-ball aaaaeeeeeiiiiooouuuu

you god damn right i would go

Yup, Concept Artists take us 3d artists from the blank canvas to a developed vision and world. AI advocates now think like newbie artists did back in the 00s, that Concept Art is about smooth rendering and pretty pictures. Concept Art is visual imagination and communication. AI *CAN'T* do that.

Before the Game Awards in LA last week, a US video game workers union turned up to protest. "Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money." @alyssamerc.bsky.social reports www.theguardian.com/games/2025/d...

I remember bouncing off Demon Turf a little as the self-placing checkpointing (only 2-3 per level) was something that made me MORE anxious about checkpoints rather than less. Learning that they've been made infinite in the upcoming Demon Tides has 100% sold me on it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TDo...

Theres a disease and the only cure is tabletop roleplaying.

reckon im sorted for christmas steam deck gaming

it's 13C in dundee right now what the hell is happening

The thing I love and appreciate about Skin Deep is it takes the most interesting part of Immersion Sims and puts you in it over and over again. You don't have any gear. Sneak, Scavenge and Improvise to survive. Immersion sims which let you keep a bigass and growing inventory are missing a trick.

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

Giving Lara generic videogame 1911s instead of her Browning HPs just feels wrong. Like not giving Agent 47 high AMT Hardballers or James Bond his Walther PPK

Facts.

"You cant just use your own characters and borrow your friend's for your solo D&D videogame!" Me cackling madly as I do exactly that

An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

I’m noticing my two year old kid mimicking my speech and mannerisms and I’m just like… damn. This must be how The Boss felt as she watched Naked Snake progress through Operation Snake Eater and gradually become ready to inherit her title as the world’s greatest soldier

We exist! Dark mode works for some folks, Light mode works for others. I get mad ghosting across my vision after more than 10 seconds of reading on dark modes. I even made a visual guide cos so many folks don't get what i mean.

Never vote Labour.

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

I'll say it again -- I'm on my firm's AI committee: every canned demo has had brutal, malpractice-level errors, and every live trial has required more time and care to vet the output than to just do it, like working with an unteachably incompetent associate you'd need to sit down for a Hard Talk.

nothing of value has been made with it nothing but it has led bosses to fire people leading to wrongly done work, messed up universities, wrecked any progress made on climate change goals, so your aunt can get wrong answers to unimportant questions for less than it cost the company to provide them
