Not even a month since rewatching Synecdoche New York and I think I'm in a mood to feel sad again, so rewatching The Master (2012) tonight to remind myself of what a devastating loss Philip Seymour Hoffman's early death was

NGL, this sounds a good deal more interesting than what we got in the final product. Westside in particular could've used some more love... but then again, the lack of substantial content makes it a good blank canvas for enterprising quest modders 😎

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

A sneak peak at some of the hundreds of lines I implemented today! This quest in particular will feature a plethora of colorful, loquacious characters and more literary references than I bothered to keep count of. #gamewriting #falloutnewvegas #gamedev #indiedev #modding

Not an artist in the traditional sense, but when it comes to level design (or rather, environmental design), I think I have a very strong grasp of atmospheric lighting. It's the part of the process where things start to come together, and I'm able to do most of it entirely intuitively.

A small update for TLD is coming this week, addressing some minor issues and mod conflicts.

@ashtonlouis.bsky.social just released a trailer for his next upcoming quest mod. I had the pleasure of playtesting an early version and can confidently say that this is one to keep an eye on #fallout #fnv #modding #indiedev youtu.be/47MvmXTHrIE?...

It's invigorating to take breaks from your projects sometimes. Spent much of the last 2 months getting back into playing the guitar & watching a ton of films rather than working on my mods or even playing games & am so much more focused & productive now that I'm getting back in the swing of things

Leute LIEBEN es sich von copilot helfen zu lassen, bei Fragen wie -wie deinstalliere ich copilot -copilot deaktivieren -warum copilot in editor -entferne die copilot schaltfläche

I appreciate how little pseudo-humanist spinwork is being put on the events in Venezuela compared to Iraq; no more empty talk of democracy and human rights and fictitious weapons of mass destruction; they no longer need to pretend they ever gave a fuck, because they can expect to get away with it.

After years of resistance, I fear that I have slowly morphed into a Letterboxd guy. I'm actually writing multi-paragraph film reviews rather than just dropping detached, pithy one-liners now. Suppose it was this or inexplicably getting into ornithology.

It's only the 30th and there is already a constant barrage of firecrackers going off outside. Someone just triggered a car alarm right outside my bedroom window at 11:40 PM on a workday 😎 what a beautiful and sensible tradition, great for pets and wildlife too

Not really feeling an appropriate amount of existential dread about the impending end of the year, so gonna rewatch Synecdoche New York tonight and think really hard about my failure to live up to my creative aspirations in the 6 years since I last watched it, wish me luck 🤞

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

It's been a long, LONG time coming, but the weapon pack that Rockbiter68, Hitman47101 and I have been working on for years is now finally out! www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mod...

That game I released last year only costs 6 bucks on Steam right now! - Cheaper than going to the movies but same length. - Difficulty depending on your country. - Cosmic and atmospheric horror. - Eerie and moody. People have enjoyed it thus far, why wouldn't you?

Rest in Peace, Jim Ward. Jim Ward, who voiced Doctor Klein along with Old Longfellow, has passed away at 66 years old. #Fallout #FalloutNewVegas #Fallout4

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

Been catching up with Joel Haver's '12 films in 12 months' project lately. It has made me feel more excited and passionate about both the medium of film and the craft of filmmaking than I've felt in years. 2026 might see me exploring some avenues of expression beyond the dead end that is modding.

Picked my guitar back up this week after a lengthy absence and MAN, I can't wait for the calluses on my fingertips to come back (typed with my right hand)

Oh snap, 700k unique downloads! Thanks everyone

Since the mod's releasing next year, I decided to finally make some voiced dialogue snippets publicly accessible. Today's pick is @vetaphoenix.bsky.social, who voiced a character named Cora Frobisher all the way back in 2023! youtu.be/PNkBi333STI?... #voiceacting #falloutnewvegas #gamedev #modding

Decided to rewatch the 2011 hit film Drive and the BluRay gave up the ghost right as the 'Under Your Spell' scene started

Shout-out to bloody banquets, one of my favorite tropes in western storytelling

you can learn so much about a player character from what they have the capacity to say, what they *might* say, but choose otherwise. it's something only novels can do as elegantly and effectively.

youtu.be/ZrJeFlozzMY?... Got interviewed by Arccharger in case anyone wants to hear me mumble and stumble over my words for an hour about topics such as The Living Desert and New Vegas modding in general!

Checking in half a year later: another side quest folded into a MQ, some overly optimistic estimates retracted, some goalposts (such as the 50% completion mark) surpassed. Looking likely I'll complete another 2-3 quests before January. All goes well, 2026 will be the year 🤞

PSA: this Sunday at 6PM CET I'll be doing a live interview with @arccharger.bsky.social over on the 'Another Millennia and Friends' Discord server, followed by a Q&A session. A video documenting this historic meeting of the minds will presumably be uploaded to YT afterwards

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

Just finished the storyline of Dead Island 2, set on the famous island of Los Angeles, and it gave me a great idea for a game: a Dead Island / Dying Light type zombie hack-and-slash where what story there is doesn't catch fire and implode in the final act. Starting to feel like a genre curse

youtu.be/8M8RxyUilOU?... Today's exciting showcase: an elevator I scripted earlier this week to cut down on traversal times! #gamewriting #falloutnewvegas #gamedev #indiedev #modding

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate 👻🎃https://youtu.be/3tiGPhxIxto?si=c-FOhxzGVyEJ6x8D

Hey, I heard that my eerie game was on sale once again! - Country Based difficulty. - Creepy. - A bit goofy. - A story that shall stay with you after playing. (That's what people said) Get it for 6 bucks to celebrate the Halloween Sale! 🥰

We do a little trolling

Today's project: implementing a metric shit ton's worth of side quest dialogue for these two particularly loquacious characters #gamewriting #falloutnewvegas #gamedev #indiedev #modding

Apparently most English language style guides recommend the use of the possessive 's suffix for singular nouns & names ending in an S rather than just putting an open apostrophe at the end & calling it a day like I always do, and I feel sick and appalled. James's? Charles's?! Luis's!?! Horrible!

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me. azhdarchid.com/so-you-want-...

I see the Pathologic 2 devs took some inspiration from my Fallout 4 settlements' rich style of architecture

Out of the big German shows of the past 10 years or so, I never quite got the hype around 'Dark' and couldn't stand 'How to Sell Drugs Online', but two seasons deep into 'Babylon Berlin' I actually can't believe it's not more popular. This show is *really* fucking good!

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Working solo on a larger gaming project requires such a stupid amount of time & labor. I love the creative freedom I have and am confident in the quality of my work, but for future projects after Westside Story I need to practice aggressive scope control from day 1 and/or get collaborators on board.

Since I'm stuck at home with a cold, I dedicated the day to kitbashing Thespis Hall, a ruined theater, out of 3 or 4 different tilesets that weren't really meant to be used this way but proved unexpectedly cooperative in the process! #leveldesign #falloutnewvegas #gamedev #indiedev #modding

Finally started playing Pathologic 2 tonight and in a turn of events that is entirely unsurprising to anyone who knows me and my taste in media, it is extremely my shit thus far

I recently got interviewed by @arccharger.bsky.social where we discussed some of my mod projects and a variety of other topics, go check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIZJ...
