Looking forward to playing Mina the Hollower, but also... I accidentally played a few hours of Kenshi the other day because it was on sale, and I can't think about anything else

I'm finally ready to officially announce Crystal Project 2! It's an open-ended JRPG like the first game but in a new world with new classes, features, and challenges. Check out the Steam page to watch the trailer, see what's new, and to add it to your wishlist. store.steampowered.com/app/3901760/

I offer gamedev tutoring on Fiverr, and I get so many random messages that treat it like a Craigslist ad or something... Like, it says on my page what services I offer and what my prices are - I don't want to join your startup or test your API endpoints or whatever

In my 40+ years making games, this has felt like the hardest period to navigate for game devs. It’s difficult to find or hold onto work, difficult to secure funding, and difficult to break through and find an audience. Incredibly talented people are struggling.

I've said it before, but following sports in 2026 is soooooo different than 20 years ago... Current news story: In their latest vlog, Leafs player is renovating their kitchen - this must mean they want to stay in Toronto! (so reports the mainstream media)

My therapist recommended "A Liberated Mind" by Steven Hayes - it resonates a lot with me He talks about living a life that is true to your values, rather than fixating on the "worth" of your daily actions, and I feel that Just do cool shit, other people don't decide it's worth

I do not like shared laundry rooms Brought to you by: "We have 1 working dryer in the apartment building, and someone put it on for 3 hours"

About half way through the first season of Westworld I was like "wow this is starting to remind me so much of Lost" JJ Abrams just needs to chill, I guess

Since we previously made a little makeshift mine area, I've been poking at this little forest zone. 3D and topography is hard, but we're slowly learning😅 good enough for now! #VibeDefender #MadeInUnreal #Synthwave #IndieDev

Look, I didn't skate in the 90s, I'm not a cool guy But I think every skate who doesn't wear a helmet is lame. Andy Anderson is the only cool skater, I don't make the rules

I kind of hate getting a new phone. The last 2 times, it was not even my choice. There are just so many accounts to sign into these days, and so many of them are patchwork monsters stitched together from 30-years worth of different login systems.

Recently finished watching Sopranos for the first time Neat to go from that, then jumping into Daredevil Born Again s2, and seeing Michael Gandolfini feature so prevalently

One of the main things I love about living in Toronto, is that everything you want is here. And yet, batting cages seem to be woefully lacking around here. Like, they exist, but... But Persona made me think they should be way more prevalent ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am a simple man, I am only really interested in 'Mixtape' because I saw a skateboard

Man, AI interviews are so trash... Ran out of time, despite no limit being indicated. Which, would be less annoying if it hadn't spent 4 minutes stuck on "thinking", until I asked it if it was ok....

Blizzard always denies that WoW has a gear inflation problem, but if next tier mythic ilvl is 298, we're already like 100 ilvls above a fresh lvl 80 character - a 50% increase! Are we going to be ~350 by end of expansion? At that point, you barely exist until gear catch up

Yooooooooo, I remembered the NHL draft lottery was happening today like 30 seconds before the Leafs drew FIRST, forget top-5 protected @_@ AHHHHHHHHHH, thank god something good came out of this season, what a day for the Leafs, man

New Garmin watch, since my old Swim 2 was well used and literally falling apart Plus side: Waaaaaay bigger battery Down side: New watch magnetically repels my third-party charger 😅

Sopranos is a good show, but I'm really glad I waited until middle age (am I middle aged now? oh god) to watch it I feel like me and my life are nothing like these people, but I can relate to them so much. It's a nice reminder that, so many of my problems are things that we all deal with

Life is just better when it's nice enough out to skate places, I swear nothing in life is as good as cruising up to your destination, casually kicking the board up, and just going about your day

I feel this big time - particularly the point about i-frames To me, if a player is purposfully using their i-frames, that feels like an advanced strategy. It takes a lot to: a) Notice they are even there b) Use them intentionally The idea of "roll through it" is very permeable today, though

The despicable sun has a way of creeping up on you. But worry not, if you find yourself deep in the mine when danger appears, there are always shortcuts! Always wanted to make one of these little loot displays =3 #GameDev #IndieDev #MadeWithUnreal #Synthwave #TowerDefense

Very thankful for the first shorts-weather bike ride of the year, outside is a good place Ontario Line construction is such an eyesore, though. Poor park.

I think that therapy has been good for me, but I probably should not have chosen a therapist whose name is only 2 letters different from my ex's. Woops😅

Never had much interest in Mad Men, but finally got around to watching A complicated show, and I'm still unsure how I feel about it overall. Very cyclical, and I was losing interest by the end I think Leonard will stick with me a long time, though www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDJI...

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

Unironically probably one of the best games ever made, and I think the soundtrack is a big part of why Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon will be culturally relevant for a really really long time I still have half the OST on my playlist, and not just the vocal tracks. Impacuto speaks for himself.

🔊Each day brings a new, endless onslaught. The shield will regenerate itself, as long as you have VIBES. How long can you weather the storm? There is of course, still the night time part of the loop -but this project has been so much fun ;_; #GameDev #MadeInUnreal #Synthwave #TowerDefense

It's kind of silly how bad the Leafs are right now, like it's hard to get much done when the other team has 2x as many shots against every single game It's always a bit surprising how close they make it with like 8 shots all game, though, and at least Nylander is scoring

The BEAT is a powerful thing #gamedev #UnrealEngine

Joe Bowen is the GOAT and I will miss him, absolute legend

Not an artist, so colours and lighting are hard, but slowly getting a sense of this little Tower Defense world I've been poking at. Getting dangerously close to having an actual gameplay loop :) Protect your VIBES! #GameDev #MadeInUnreal #Synthwave #TowerDefense

Youtube continuing to kill it, as the largest media platform in the world. There are just so many interesting videos to choose from Good luck finding them though, the algorithm will only show you the same 10 videos, unless you manually dismiss every one individually

3.5 years of piano lessons, and today was the first time we explicitly practiced singing Very embarassing, very outside my wheelhouse - but feels good ;_;

well don't tell *us*, tell the fricking lead engineer that won't hire generalists that do not happen to share their entire list of skills www.pcguide.com/news/guilty-...

Ok, the Leafs have been painful to watch lately, but this game has been insanely entertaining

It's a little buggy still, but working on this little interact system has been pretty fun :) - Multiple ingredients can be hovered, only 1 can be focused - Attempt to retarget to closest when there are multiple - Ambulate to interact point - YEET #gamedev #madeinunreal

Therapy 🥲👍

Trying to get back onto the Unreal train, so I've been digging into the Gameplay Ability System a bit. In some ways it feels like a lot of overkill, but it's pretty powerful Simple 6 second DoT that applies a burning Gameplay Cue, effect spreads & refreshes on contact #GameDev #MadeInUnreal #GAS

The way people are reacting to the DLSS5 drama makes me feel like a hipster From the beginning I've been banging the drum of "Your generative frames don't care about my creative intent" - people suddenly see what that means, and RIOT!

Hey something good happened - my internet speed tripled for no additional cost! Of course it only happened because Rogers is a monopolistic megalith, and they didn't need to offer me a better deal until Bell did first... Wait, that almost sounds like competition! (but fuck Bell, too)

I've been a gamer nerd who didn't care about sports my whole life, but like I totally get it When I watch the leafs game and the commentators talk about how player x came from Scarborough and the commentators talk about player y coming up in Vaughn, I'm like, hell yeah, my guys

huge fan of the Pokemon TCG artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi

I appreciate WoW is trying to revive the plot, and taking a lot of notes from FF14 But I feel like I just don't care that much about the campaign, that's just not the game WoW is. I've got sojourner of Eversong & Zul'Aman, I'm lvl 90, but REALLY don't care about the other zones

I think one of the weirdest things about getting back into hockey after 20+ years, is how much chatter & analysis there is In 2002 I remember subscribing to magazines just to learn who all the players were In 2026 discord chats have strong opinions about everyone on the extended org staff lol

> Apply for position, answering all the filtering questions > Second stage: Turn on webcam so the AI can see me, answer all the filtering questions the same way > The AI says no What a strange, dehumanizing world we live in, I guess the AI didn't like the way I look

Sometimes I wonder how much longer I can actually live in Toronto I've only just gotten back into town, and so far I'm averaging > 2 insanely rude people a day. Like, deserves-to-be-punched-in-the-face rude My brain slow so usually I can barely manage to shout back, but one day I'mma be in trouble
