So, uh, is ~~343 Industries~~ Halo Studios just giving up? A UE5 remake of a game that's already had one remaster, without the beloved multiplayer, is... a choice. Not continuing Infinite's abbreviated campaign, or bringing us something brand new?

I will post an update on the Unity vulnerability situation soon, I have quite a few affected games and am still evaluating what the actual severity is, which games can be patched, and which ones I'm going to be bothered to patch.

YouTube Playables is interesting because it lets you play mobile games cross-platform and without monetization. Some games play great without the enshittification, others were definitely relying on it for padding and engagement. Some are stupidly easy with a mouse, others are unplayable.

I really ought to do a long-form blog post on AI, because my feelings on it are a lot more complicated than a simple "fuck AI" but I definitely don't see eye-to-eye with the AI hucksters.

Depending on what's counted as a credit, I might be the weird outlier sitting under the line because all my games are kitbashed together from piles of random assets

I managed to burn 4 coasters, 3 of them on fancy M-Disc BD-R media. Possibly USB issues, or maybe those M-Discs are bad (I did buy them from a discount pile)

The game is released, the jam is over, the ratings are in… that means it’s time for a devlog! I’ve got a lot to talk about, but I don’t really have a potent thesis or central narrative to tie...

I know that computers are fast enough to emulate things in software, and virtualization is ubiquitous now, but I kinda wish those crazy "PC compatibility cards" that were a whole computer on a card were still a thing.

Works scrubbed from the internet are nothing new, but what about one where the announcement of its removal is also gone and the creators have disappeared? Only interviews, secondhand articles, and a handful of archived pages survive.
