@austinwalker.bsky.social @jeffgerstmann.com Listening to this week’s podcast re. marathon, I wonder if you may enjoy some of this interview/roundtable; guest is Joseph Cross, but the hosts’ background is less video games and more real world architecture and design youtu.be/IpRkNYyObBw

Speed Racer (2008) on the big screen is great 👍

how is this literally happening in real life

Evidence that Marathon may have permanently damaged my brain chemistry: while watching the new Folding Ideas I had an instinctive/kneejerk reflex of “AHH!! SIGNAL JAMMER”

Same. A gang of rooks did something to me today that I can only describe as "cartoon hijinks." One ran by, begged my crew not to kill him, and we were like "we're cool, have a good one." Then after we ran past, he and a group of like 5 of them fell on us like raptors, laughing. game of the year.

oh MAN the "Free kit" queue in Marathon they have right now is good. Really aggressive PvP, since there's so few stakes on the line, so it's great for practicing all that.

i'm working on a larger story about the state of video codecs in games based on this interview, would love to get as much input as possible from devs about the problems it causes (bonus points if a video editor can share their perspective on this, too). diego6arguello6 at gmail and my DMs are open

I can’t imagine saying this when I’m leading a county that has the NRC’s acoustics research chamber and produces Anthem, NAD, and Paradigm audio equipment. AI for all? Please. Give people audio for all! An amplifier never took anyone’s job. Unity through separates for all who want them!

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

James is not kidding. Someone on Twitter put together a clip compilation and Kenshiro's actor sounds like someone doing a parody of bad old anime dubs. I am SPEECHLESS. I am DUMBFOUNDED. He can't even do the fight noises right! Also no one can pronounce "Hokuto."

Finally Puzzling Places is out on Steam and for the first time playable for anyone without a VR headset. Give it a try, leave your review, PP is here to stay, it’s a beautiful pearl, a peaceful corner bustling with sound, music, voices and echoes.

Friday at last…

A legendary run. Raven is absolutely one of the most underrated studios in the biz.

here's a little guide!

This is so, so well-articulated.

As raph koster put it, what we call "fun" is in fact learning the game. As stanislas dehaene puts it , failing is the requirement to learning. Be prevented to fail and you can never learn. Be prevented to fail, and you can never have fun.

Thanks, ol’ buddy. You’re a lifesaver.

Thread: I want to go over these two shots again, indulge me in a bit of pixel peeping. I think this is an illustrative example because it sets the question of faces aside; from a purely technical lighting fidelity standpoint, DLSS 5 makes this scene worse.

Clearly, Strauss has never listened to “We are Charlie Kirk” 😭
