The key to successfully cooking frozen pizza at 4am is setting at least 4 separate alarms and then spending the rest of the cooking time fixing all the typos in the announcement that you're cooking a frozen pizza

Most of the games i've worked on have had modest success at best, but for some reason the teslagrad games are way more popular in spain than anywhere else

Sorry, I can't wishlist Knuckle Jet... It's already there! :3 Looking forward to it, whether it launches when intended; or various delays muck up the works. Either way, I'm gunna get me some Knuckle Jet!

It's at least seven years of bad luck if you don't, fair warning

I'm not really much of a marketing person but a random person in a bar told me i should insist harder on you (yes, you) wishlisting knuckle jet. So this is me telling you to to that. It's not a request, it's an order. store.steampowered.com/app/3199470/...

I spent two weeks in the most boring place on earth and would very much like to dance, but the crowd in the bar seem like the least interesting bunch ever assembled, not one of them seem like the dancing type

What kills me about all this hyperrealistc stuffvis how much it's always about systems and consistency rather than creativity, because it has to be generic to function in a photoreal sense

also, this one, going deeper into the basics of the procgen city layout and detailing youtu.be/usJrcwN6T4I?...

really good video on the tech process behind the "matrix awakens" UE5 demo youtu.be/xLVJP-o0g28?...

Spent some time with my dad this xmas and he still listens to the radio so i got a window into what Norwegian pop music is like these days. It's mostly 'i wanna show everyone i can sing, so keep the beats minimal' wankery,with added autotune to cancel out any remaining skill

My sonic OC is Dog the dog (a normal dog)

BUT: gummy bears are oursons en gomme

The French term for gummies is "bonbons gommeux"

Small but polished memorable stuff that leverages what we're actually good at instead of competing with everything

It's weird how the main single player video game market is still late 80s/90s kids and their well-educated children, with the other 3/4ths of the market being people who have only ever played one megagame

Reading a book about local people who emigrated to the us in the 1800s and there's a fairly nutty story about the captain coming down to the passenger hold and going 'ok i know you'd rather bury them in the earth, but someone died down here, because i saw sea serpents circling the hull, give 'em up'

I only get like 5 xmas presents per year because we're a huge extended family and everyone focuses on the kids (as they should) but my sister really went above and beyond with her gift to me this year

People who look deeply into the rendering of obra dinn always come back humbled by the amount of effort that goes into rendering a stylized scene in a thematically distinct way, but believe me, even the shittiest vfx shot may have had similar love put into it before the artist was told to redo it

Looking at some footage of t2: no fate, and while i don't doubt it was manually animated by humans, there's a lot of anims that just feel a bit too slidey for me

Nevermind the quality of the game itself, i always enjoy watching intro sequences from the second wave of cyberpunk-influenced media youtu.be/lv6kSz6Ijj8?...

since they were mentioned in the Side Story episode today, a couple facts about Przewalski's Horses: - they're a very old type of horse, similar horses are depicted in Lascaux cave paintings from ~15000 years ago! - they're actually pretty small, measuring 12-14 hands (48-56 inches) at the shoulder!

God youtube hs gotten so much worse after dumb creators got access to ai image generation

I wish i could relese a 5 hour game every year

Sheep dog n' wolf/sheep rsider is one of the best looking ps1 games hands down, it almost looks like a low poly wind waker. Great vertex shadowing and strip texturing

Imo, 640x360 is the ideal pixel perfect scaleable 16:9 resolution to go for in pixel art these days unless you're really pushing for spesific platform accuracy

Read a book about us immigration from my home county of haram while visiting my grandma and apparently there's a township in north dakota with a population of like 38 people

I think growing up rurally, eating a lot of stuff that you couldn't legally sell in most markets these days, made me very open to trying all sorts of uniquely fermented stuff from other cultures

It's a-me, Mario!

Kinda terrified that i'm on my 16th year of professional game development now, feels like things generally don't last that long in this biz without significant shakeups

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

My sister dug up an unfinished ww2 victory embroidery tablecloth from my great grandma as a christmas tablecloth this year and i dig it, very fitting for these uncertain times

I regret to inform you that all search engines have become so bloated with sponsored ads/videos and crap that you can no longer search for 'robocop theme ska version' or 'robocop theme reggae version' and find exactly what you want

Really cool look at the rendering process of the fox engine (aka how the hell they got metal gear solid looking as good as it did on the ps3) youtu.be/aB5qxp6SPPQ?...

It's wild to me that unity doesn't have a built in nin-destructive color channel texture packing tool for materials

Making a curry using leftover semi cured home made norwegian xmas bread topping meats before they go bad, because all the 'traditional norwegian xmas spices' are just normal middle eastern spices, but the pre-refridgeration curing teqhnicues introduce some interesting flavour notes

t's been long enough that i can talk about it without ruffling feathers,i really dislike the opening area of ocarina of time. I think it's the pea soup yellow fog, the rupee hunt for a shield, the 'young looking but old' people and the repetetive music adding up to something that feels oppressive.

Slept on a ship last night (i try to avoid air travel when i can during holidays because it's super expensive here when you're deathly afraid of planning anything in advance) and my inner ear still thinks the world is moving in a wave pattern

Always thought the shadow temple fan gargoyles in ocarina of time were an underrated detail

It is the year of our lord 2026 and i have become the sort of person who carries a boiled egg in his pocket for long sea voyages

We connected King’s Quest creator Roberta Williams to comedy writer @mikedrucker.bsky.social, who may be her biggest fan, for a conversation about the series’ legacy and a generation’s connection to it. The full article has been moved from behind the paywall! gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

Um, actually, the correct term is "intimacy coordinators".

happy birthday to horses

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

First major fact i learned in 2026: 60s 'addams family' star John Astin is still alive in 2026, and he's also the father of goonies/lotr/stranger things actor Sean Astin

Remember to stock up on lemons today for your New Year Lemon Pig-making needs! 🍋

Visiting family for the holidays and slept in a bit. was surprised to find my father, who only likes 'plausible' movies (you know, historical stuff without fantasy elements) watching one of those dog movies where the dog has an internal monologue

i beg to differ

Another reason for indies to build optimized games that run on lower end devices. Also, feel like browser gaming might really take off too?
