James Bond game 007 First Light sales estimated to have reached an impressive milestone a week after launch www.eurogamer.net/007-first-li...

One of my favourite artists in the and sci-fi realm. Absolutely iconic work and defined grimdark with a unique look (all his work is almost immediately identifiable). Will truly be missed.

My article about the Ukrainian middle strike campaign is now public (and it isn't behind a paywall) on the @WarFrontsWeekly website fronts.co/article/ukra...

Kyiv last night.

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation: “The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”

Finished First Light aka “IOI presents Splinter Cell: Conviction 2” Damn, this game was a blast! Full of gorgeous environments and heartfelt performances. Immaculately paced too - inventive setpieces punctuate miniature stealth sandboxes and sections of light social engineering.

Coming soon: Armored Core ReAnswered: - Static recompilation (native on PC, 0 emulation) - Via Reglue SDK & Vulkan renderer - Huge performance improvements - High FPS, PC native multiplayer

The Cost of AI alextardif.com/AI.html

Alex here has a great perspective on the looming AI issues in game dev, art work, and why the human art/programmer/playet connection is one of the most important things that this AI trash is actively seeking to replace. Read this!

omg

Decided to balance the multi-projectile reflect by having parries damage your weapon's durability. It won't break until the animation finishes though, so you can reflect any number of bullets at once #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Only just now, 3 months later I watched @techconnectify.bsky.social video on solar panel technology and loved it. I was proud to hear Alec talking at the end about real world politics with such passion. Techtubers of the world should see that and be inspired.

My book is in the field in Donbas. And in coffee shops in Taiwan, half a world away. It's in the hands of the readers, all over the world. This is such a rewarding feeling to realize I am someone's connection to Ukraine. I LOVE IT 🇺🇦⚔️

Trying to feel this way now. Very grateful for my Family, my friends my colleagues and the metric ton of random people who have messaged me and helped me through this really trying time. Thank you everyone.

Re: FSR4.1 - Bonus Bath Tub

Anyone know how to fix it in premiere when audio wave form for clips does not show up on one timeline? These are all the same type of file with same audio encoding. On some timelines it shows, on others... it does not. Makes no sense.

If the games industry had the power to make certain games a cultural phenomena with global hit sales, it would so all the time. However, the games industry cannot even agree on what "alpha" means

As Europe is slowly warming up again it’s time for my annual reminder that adding shade to the urban environment helps to reduce the urban heat island effect massively. It's a super important tool to keep cities cool during the summer.

All this GenAI shit remains extremely "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." coded.

Totally worth it for gooner slop

So excited to be announcing @stupendiumsoftwork.bsky.social for the team today. A new UK studio with joy, camp, theatrics, top notch FMV, and serious silliness at its heart. Something we all need! Working on a survival horror that's going to knock your SOCKS off.

Health Status Update for those who want to know. Two Part Video due to a silly 3 minute time limit for videos on Bluesky. TLDW - some things are way better, some things are worse. But I persevere and learn from mistakes I made while healing. Part 1 video below

Inspired by @sebaaltonen.bsky.social's "No Graphics API", I've written a GPU pointer-centric bindless wrapper on Vulkan+Metal. Still in rough shape, but I've written about it here: www.kevin-gibson.com/blog/writing...

Stares at his Tallarn Desert Raiders 😚

Gotta love how the USA sees this as some sort of punishment for Germany, when it is instead just an amazing self own. Just constant self dick shots with this administration www.tagesschau.de/eilmeldung/u...

We re-tested Oblivion Remastered - over a year since launch, the game still crashes and loses performance over time: www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/05...

After 9 long months, I've finally posted a new video! Today I explore the performance differences between SGRAM and SDRAM on 3dfx Voodoo3 cards. I also look at the Block Write and Write-Per-Bit features. The SGRAM advantage was larger than I expected! youtu.be/7VN6OyGcaL4

And we are live! Special thanks to @naerina.bsky.social for narrating this episode. What's your favourite Aeldari sect? Leave a like and a comment on the video to let us know (and share it with all your friends while you're at it ;P)! www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6Mz...

I think someone is playing with me - Straßenfund.

I haven’t had any ‘proper’ work, barring smaller commissions (under £450), for the entirety of 2026! twitter & insta socials failing as a place to help with artist profile reach , & Bluesky not being a place larger clients are on yet doesn’t help -

Race day!! The race kicks off (for me) at 6:15PM, so I'll post updates here and on Insta as things happen. Thanks to everyone who's donated to Cats Protection so far! <3 www.justgiving.com/page/wsjuddcat

New DirectX 12 Agility SDK. Just preview version, but I hope these additions will reach the retail version soon. I'm excited about CopyBuffer/TextureRegions, clears, and FillBuffers - finally available without implicit barriers around them! devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/shad...

I could not control myself and retrieved the PC the Pentium 3 came from. It was battered a beautiful IBM PC 300GL. It was last booted on 04.01.2001 and is a nice little treasure chest from that era. Teleauskunft 2000, Diamond Stealth III S520 and a ripped version of Depeche Mode's Ultra (1997)

Hey, look. It's a decent scan of this legendary image!

What is going on lately? Just found a P3 667 in the Hohenstaufenbstraße

Was watching it yesterday and was wondering how the hell it was done. Awesome!

Straßenfund 2026 - a massive AT/ATX tower found on the street with a Pentium 1 266 in it. About 2 Blocks from my house. Aces!

Search and rescue operations at the site of horrible russian strike on Dnipro have officially concluded. 6 people were killed and 23 injured‼️

Incredible advertisement I got while filming DF Direct today

Updating Windows 11 on a Test PC - Microsoft is forcing non-local accounts. This company just absolutely sucks. I want to be fully offline. I do not want OneDrive or Copilot or the Store or anything at all. 0 connectivity. Stop. Let me buy offline ability even. I just hate this.

"There are bad movies, and then there are movies that drain all life and joy out of a person’s soul. The new animated Animal Farm falls firmly into the latter category." Great read.
