Big things are happening

Honkytonk no Ken

Thinking about how there really isn't a lot of representation of red headed folks like myself in games. Hair colors are much brighter and too orange. If there is a red head, they have overly pale skin and a ton of freckles, and blue eyes, unlike myself. Maybe I should change that in my own work :)

how to turn a 3D scan into a game-ready mesh, i guess? spent a bit this afternoon tinkering with how to decimate a 3D scan without nuking the texture, kinda cursed but worked decently! #gamedev

"It wasn't me, Sergei, I was in Electrical doing tasks"

Happy Shellday

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

This would fix me. Many people are saying this

my real programming toxic trait when using other languages is I am a bitch about typing, overabundance of checks and field name variables because I was raised on C++ yes I will check so many things and type as much as possible because if you breathe wrong at nlohmann/json you will core dump

"What's a BXR?" Halo 2 Battle Rifle Sprite Repaint This one's for you @treversmith.bsky.social

Been getting recommended BF4 vs BF1 vs BF6 shorts in YouTube. Insane how a game that released this last year with 4x the budget can barely keep up with a game released more than 10 years ago. I don't think the manpower and money cost is justifying the means in terms of fidelity of this point

We should go back to early 90s website design

for a brick he flew pretty good

I've been tinkering with a "spoopy ghost" shader for Bonerooms and stumbled on a neat effect just using some noise to burn down the screen space color, which gives you a neat "ghosting" effect You can also invert the burn to get an additive "fog" look too #gamedev

Incredible, every company that raised prices should have this type of lawsuit brought against them lol. Walmart, Target, major clothing companies, hardware stores, ALL of them. They did not pay that tariff money, the customers did.

Early congratulations to all the new parents that will pop up in 9 months due to Pragmata lmao

Does everyone keep making extraction shooters because they don't know what else to do or what. Like, sure, there have been a couple hits. But the genre is far too niche to have THIS many games.

Hell yeah

These Big AAA studios never cared about being called indie till they found out they could steal the marketing from small team / small budget games We need to rebrand "indie" to "Micro game studios/teams" or something like that to represent what "indie" always really meant when it came to games.

Dreaming of a world where I can use Unreal on Linux and not have terrible conflicts/be able to build for windows working with team members who are on windows. Honestly one of the only things holding me back from swapping these days 💔

One version of the Mario Bros. arcade has an oversight where reaching 980,000 points gets a Game Over. This happens because the game starts giving Mario extra lives on every frame, overflowing the life counter. As such, he is literally killed by being showered with extra lives.

Dare we hope? "... OpenAI... set out plans to spend $1.4 trillion on... data centres... But the company... is now reining in investment under pressure from investors and as rivals... The scaling back... has raised hopes that RAM prices will fall..."

In January 2001, in the OPM2 letters page, Kenneth from Denmark saw the future.

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

"you will have to play ze slop games eventually it is inevitable that all games will be ze slop" Ok but considering general socioeconomic decay and my rate of video game consumption (~1.5 hrs/day) I am statistically likely to be dead before I run out of currently existing non-slop video games.

This is where I post from btw

Pretty disappointed that the cool story I was looking forward to in marathon is locked behind a PvP destiny raid with extremely unreasonable conditions for completion. I think I'm done buying Bungie games until they stop limiting meaningful content to jobless folks and streamers who can grind.

IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED CLASSIC MARATHON THE TRILOGY IS ON STEAM FOR FRER GO PLAY IT THEY ROCK

Perfect

Oh, that's Marathon, an FPS extraction shooter, with GTA tier auto aim and lock on at insane distances for controller

I am very happy I've remained unspoiled for RE Requiem. Very very very good and fun game

every time i buy a game on steam and learn gianni matragrano is in it again

Please Select Player | Super Mario Bros. 2

I restarted Marathon Infinity and I forgot about the level with no oxygen and zombie tank guys

Posting Mario RPG memes every day until TTYD or Brothership get a Switch 2 Upgrade Day 38 Decided to remake this classic

29 years ago today, Street Fighter III: New Generation was originally released at arcades in JP. It was developed and published by Capcom.

Man, I want to love Marathon so badly but it's missing all the marks when it comes to raw PvP interactions for me, just like every other extraction shooter. The bots are good and challenging. I wish they leaned into something akin to The Division with a lot of co-op and single player stuff... 1/2

Yep. Fastest this-isn't-for-me ever. But hey, hope peeps dig it.

Happy Resident Evil Requiem to all who celebrate.

It's crazy how almost every game I'm seeing in the next fest fits into one of like five genres. And three of those genres are roguelikes of some description.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008)

Alrighty folks, time to pull back the curtain a bit - WWII game is real! Development is still in the very early stages, but enjoy this concept piece for FLASH THUNDER - a retro-flavored shooter inspired by Medal of Honor. #gamedev

Uni rarely makes biscuits, so when he does, it makes me so happy
