So I'm reinstalling #starcitizen --- Played it when SC was first released -- had so many bugs didn't touch it again until last thanksgiving for a week then gave up again... decided it's been a year so giving it another go. Wish me luck 😂 #twitch #gamer #SCIFI #sciencefiction

#Epicgames support really is so bad. I've been wrestling with support and their epic launcher for about 3 weeks now and they keep passing me around to different low level reps and I literally have to re-explain the issue with my game library and asset issues w the launcher. It really is crazy.

Almost 18 hrs fasting... Now to pick my poison... Combination rice & chicken w broth on side & sauces, bodega rib eye sandwich w pho jus dip, or spam & egg cheese sandwich? Hmmmm grabbed all 3... Am sharing it with others so wanted to try them all just a bit. 👀 😁 #foodie #photography #chicago

Heard a new #stargate series being developed at #Amazon #prime ! So exciting... It's been so long & over due. I remember making a prototype of Stargate in #unrealengine in 4 hrs a couple yrs ago for fun. Always thought it would make a great mmorpg. #gamedev #indiedev #sq1 youtu.be/OEUTZGlUvw8?...

I'm so looking forward to this weekend. Plan to take a week off from my 9to5 MSP job and work daily on #gamedev #indiedev #twitch #unrealengine

Gave up on #epicgames launcher --- I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, wiped windows, tried on another machine, factory reset router, used diff router, changed DNS to Google, Cloudflare. Still terrible perf, some #unrealengine assets refuse to install, my game lib still shows unavailable! #gamedev

So I don't use #Gemini directly much... But saw Gemini 3 had been released so decided to check out it out & was greeted by over 3k "whats weather like today" chats I asked via Google on my Android phone... I tried to find setting to disable this history & there's no easy way to remove all the chats

It's terrible - been like 2 weeks I can't use #epic launcher reliably to install my game library or launch #unrealengine or install assets. Opened 2 tickets with epic, uninstalled reinstalled epic, wiped windows and reinstalled, tried it on a diff machine. Going to stick with #steam from now on.

3 mile run in morning, a short 16hr fast finished so decided to have a nice lunch... Rum and rotisserie chicken followed by another rum & slice of key lime pie. That rum was crazy good. Hope you're having a great Tuesday wherever you are #tuesday #motivation #foodie #chicago #photography #fitness

Wow looking at the same photo on Google photos on my iPhone 16 pro Max and comparing it to the same pic on pixel 10 pro XL and wow the colors and detail really look different on the pixel. It just looks better. More vivid, it doesn't look pale and washed out. Blacks look darker also #iphone #pixel

Wow!! That's nuts! #starcitizen

#EpicGames support is bad - ticket been open & have an issue w new epic launcher for couple weeks since 19.0 version, they still cant figure it out - removed folders, uninstall epic launcher, reinstalled windows! tried it on different machine still has the issue. #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine

Started playing #Elex 2 this weekend, it's actually really fun game. I remember Elex 1 having mediocre combat system, they improved it in 2, it's still not the best but game makes up for it in other ways, quests, fun NPCs etc. Would recommend it. #gamer #gaming #indiedev #twitch #twitchstreamer

Can't wait for fallout to return for season 2!! #fallout youtu.be/ECI3eCAxRGw?...

The @steampowered.com machine that was just announced looks like such an interesting device... I could see using it instead of xbox, cutting monthly xbox pass entirely. Especially w a lot of newer games already employing cross play. In addition it could be used as a full blown desktop. #gamer #steam

WOW - I had moved over to @meldstudio.bsky.social last month, started using it instead of streamlabs and didn't realize how easy it was to migrate over!!! I exported my session & once I reinstalled windows - reinstalled meld & just imported in my session & everything!!! I MEAN everything restored!!!

So reinstalled windows hoping it would fix terrible Epic launcher issue.. it didn't --- still can't install certain plugins, launcher wont reliably launch #unrealengine --- how can Epic Games push this for customers to use. It's sooooo terrible. Anyone else having issues w it? #gamedev #indiedev

Decided to wipe and start over. Will need to setup my #gamedev environment over as well as streaming setup. Tonight and tomorrow will probably be used to setting up. Also had finished modding #cyberpunk 2077 and was really enjoying my playthru #indiedev #unrealengine

Having massive problems w new ver. of epic launcher not wanting to... Launch anything. It says unavailable on tons of games in library wont launch #unrealengine or install assets. I've uninstalled epic a couple times, even clear vault and folders. Might reinstall windows and see if that helps.

Another 24 hour fast completed. Already picked up a Small Cheval burger to break the fast along with a sampling of cakes from Pierres... Going to eat the Tres Leches slice and save the others for later. #foodie #fasting #wednesdayvibes #photography #chicago #motivation

I really, really hate the epic launcher!!! With a passion, they are going to make me go back to unity. The epic launcher has always had issues but now its almost unusable with their latest launcher update. #unrealengine #unity #gamedev #indiedev #epicgames #epic

Wow!!! Wifi routers are getting insane. Look at this steroid Asus wifi router 👀👀👀 It's huuuuuge!!! #asus #wifi #technology #networking

Just finished a run down by the lake and decided to hang out and enjoy the scenery. Wishing you and yours a safe, fun Friday night wherever you happen to be. #chicago #lakefront #nature #photography #running #health #friday #motivation

The epic launcher is sooo bad -- I've spent more time this past week trying to go thru & install #unrealengine 5.6 and some basics assets than actually working on my project. Constant errors and hang ups --- had fab support give up and just say they would send my logs to their dev team. #epicgames

I was able to port my game over to Mac and Linux today. It took some setup but am pleasantly surprised at how well the game binaries run on both platforms. I was actually really shocked!! #gamedev #linux #mac #unrealengine #scifi #sciencefiction #indiedev #starcitizen #startrek #science

Oh wow - just realized I can pick up a google pixel 10 xl 512gb for $400 by trading in my 9 xl pro and using my instore credit! #pixel #google

Working on terminal UIs for station inventories and clinics... Also worked on some outside city cinema scenes and fleshing on population flocks and a vendor district for one of the densely populated systems. #starcitizen #startrek #scifi #sciencefiction #gamedev #unrealengine #indiedev

Just working on small details on one of the NPCs in my game and wishing you and yours a safe, fun Happy Halloween wherever you happen to be tonight. #starcitizen #startrek #scifi #sciencefiction #unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev #halloween

Been enjoying the new Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 game. Been playing alot of multiplayer games so it's been fun playing a standalone story driven game for a change. #vampire #twitch #twitchstreamer #gamer www.twitch.tv/wickeddeligh...

Who at Samsung thought that making a VR headset for $1800 was a good idea in this economy?!? Especially considering you can get Quest for so much cheaper and have a great VR experience already. It’s like they looked at the flop that was apple vision and said - we can do that also! #samsung #vr

Originally was just going to complete a 16 hour fast but felt so good at the end that I decided to try and go to my first 36 hour fast… almost there… just 3 more hours left!!! Can’t imagine how hard a 72 hr fast is. #workout #health #friday #motivation #fasting #intermittentfasting

Go @chicagofirefc.bsky.social !!! #chicago #soccer #playoff

Playing Vampire The Masquerade Bloodline 2 this morning. The combat is pretty satisfying and love the art direction in the game… a lot of the dialogue scenes look more like animated oil painting than actual 3d models #vampire #bloodlines2 #twitch #gamer #gamingclips www.twitch.tv/wickeddeligh...

Working on a new colony map --- spending sometime working on the layers of textures and the building decals... also working on mud effects on player's boots and uniforms. #starcitizen #unrealengine #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #sciencefiction #science #startrek

Wow I totally forgot about EverQuest... Haven't received an email from them in almost 2 decades 😂😂 I didn't realize they were still making content and can't even remember what my old account was... But maybe I will try and reset and login and see how it's evolved. #everquest #twitch #gamer

Greeting fellow programs!!! Who is going to watch the new Tron movie tonight? #tron #movie

Steam sale online… was looking at stalker 2 ultimate edition and possibly destiny 2 ultimate edition… part of me feels like destiny 2 though is money grab. They have so many dlcs, it feels like just the same content and mechanics in each. #steam #gamer #twitch #gamedev #indiedev #destiny2 #stalker2

Early this morning before a 3 mile run. I had the area pretty much to myself… which was good… no one was able to see me struggling with my first 3 mile in a while 😁 #fitness #motivation #chicago #running #photography

Last week, started intermittent fasting as part of regimen… so far I’ve completed 4x18 hour fasts & 1x26 hour fast. The 26 hour fast was a slight challenge but I think I could have gone 30-36 hours. This week I’m going to do all 18 hour fasts & try my first 36 hour fast #fasting #fitness #motivation

The Epic games launcher was already sooooo bad, sooo slow and hung sooooo much.... someone at epic really thought... yeah let's throw fab in there too! #unrealengine #gamedev #fab #indiedev

So added intermittent fasting to my regimen and I just hit 18 hours of fasting. I am actually doing better than I thought I would. I've gone 10-12 and even 14 hours before but this is the longest I've gone. Next week I might try doing a full 24 hours. #workout #fitness #motivation #thursday

So been eyeing the Samsung 55" Odyssey Ark 2nd Gen 4K or the LG 45GX950A-B 45-inch Ultragear 5K2K WUHD. I’m learning towards the 45 inch and haven’t seen the odyssey yet in person. Anyone own either and can give me your thoughts? Will use it for #gaming, #gamedev and programming. #lg #samsung

Enjoying the beautiful weather after a little run along lakeshore drive. Hope you’re having a great, fun, safe evening wherever you happen to be. #chicago #lakeshore #nature #friday #motivation #photography

Just enjoying this Friday afternoon Chicago weather. #chicago #photography #lakeshore #friday

Beautiful day in Chicago - wishing you the best, wherever you happen to be. #Chicago #marathon #running #health #fitness #Friday #motivation

Have 8 Dell R700s- 24gb ram, 24-48 cores Xeon servers that I'm going to factory reset and have been in service for awhile to donate - Normally I donate laptops, tablets, phones, etc from clients thru our buy back program but servers are harder to donate as corps usually want just consumer hardware.

I’ve purchased a #pixel every iteration including every nexus device but skipping 10. Everything that made a pixel a pixel is nerfed… google photos but not unlimited, no real improvements in camera hardware, even w google magic it seems behind now. It doesn’t seem like a big enuf leap from 9.

Installed fallout 76 after being away from it for like 2 years and found out my entire saved character has been reset!! AHHHHH - I got really far in that game - now I'm going to have to start all over again?! #fallout #fallout76 #gamer #twitch #twitchstreamer

Will be streaming a #gamedev jam where I decided to build a #farscape sandbox prototype game. I usually stream 1 jam a month where I build out a mission or game in #unrealengine as a challenge. Tonight I will make a peacekeeper based game with missions complete w voice overs, NPCs, etc #indiedev

So back into town after being out for another week and looking forward to getting back to #gamedev. I have a gamejam I'm going to stream this weekend if anyone is interested. I usually do 1 a month where I build a sandbox prototype game in 4-5 hours just for fun - think #farscape or #Rifts game?
