Things were better when computer was in room. Now everywhere is computer. This is bad. Computer should never have escaped room.

Goddamn, Metal Gear Solid 2 with texture filtering turned off is a hell of a vibe

Forever sad at the friends I had as a teenager on deviantart that I will never find because they go by different usernames now and so do i.

Looks normal to me.

Three simple steps to insanely cool sci-fi lighting: Step 1: Make it dark Step 2: Add a window Step 3: Colored spotlight with shadows Mission accomplished! 👉😎👉 #SKRUBSquad

Someone just asked if our game was woke on Steam. My response:

I art directed and did graphics on this game. I promise it's something special

I'm just putting this out there, but if you want to thank people who worked on your game -past and present- the normal way that you do that is to credit them. 💅🏼

Ah windows, not a month goes buy where you dont have a massive problem this year is there… So much for working on projects and job applications today.

Witchcraft. Here's an example of an iris sliding over the eye surface, rather than the eyeball rotating itself.

it’s so much fun seeing a level starting to come together! Between my lighting sketch and the env. art it’s looking so cool! Once I’m done with the master material and some VFX I’m hitting back up the lighting, iIcant wait to polish it closer to the reference art and start sharing!

WOOSH! You have gained an extra spoon to tackle the day!

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Hey.👋 Release your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Relax your jaw. Relax your shoulders and neck. Breathe awhile.

Maybe not my forever fav but it always makes me laugh. AND has good advice.

I keep thinking about "3D impressionism" as a much needed term for the way we think about art direction in games To me measuring how "better" or "worse" the graphics are only in terms of their relation to reality is like claiming the photo of a street in Arles is objectively superior to Van Gogh

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

If you see this dialog in your Unreal Engine project, click Install. At Epic Games, we now ensure that the preferred toolchains for the current engine version are listed in the Visual Studio solution. #uetips

Me just casually whipping out the profiler every time the frame rates low just because i cant stand low frame rates lol

making HL2 inspired Z-billboarded volumetric light shader in godot. love this trick for how stupidly effective it is for distant lights

Here's how you can speed up your game releases without using AI: - make task lists - learn to prioritise - descope - build discipline habits - remove distractions - take breaks - sleep better for more brainpower - improve your health - take medication (if applicable) - get a faster PC + more

If we cannot all be on the same page that the sitting president threatening to invade a US city is fascist dictator shit then truly I do not know what to do.

The extremely uncomfortable realization that there are only two kinds of AAA game dev in the US right now: - established platform/live service juggernaut (Valve, Epic, CoD) - the "make one game, jackpot or die" first-time indie model, but strapped to an eight-figure time bomb

Here's a thread I plan to update periodically with how to find somewhat popular games from the Y2K era that are unlisted. No One Lives Forever 1, 2, and Contract J.A.C.K. nolfrevival dot tk Full games, compatibility with modern Windows built in, widescreen support, no-cd cracks applied.

"3 devs with support from a few contractors" I counted 110 people or companies in Silksong's credits. And that's just those credited. We all know not everyone gets credited. Especially when it's just a company name listed in lieu of credits. So tired of this faux rags-to-riches narrative.

🚨NEW DOC ALERT🕹️ The Making of Wolfenstein We revisit the team at MachineGames to discuss the design and development of their Wolfenstein series. From narrative design to combat and everything in between. WATCH HERE: youtu.be/E189QG28rnE

idk I keep hearing "most developers are using AI" and then no developers I speak to, AAA or indie, want anything to do with it. Kinda wonder if that impression has more to do with the business types that attend events like gamescom and feel confident enough to give interviews to business journalists

Some good news: *everyone* is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in Washington State, and it *will* be covered by your insurance!

Crunch KILLS people, I'm not sure how many times we need to tell companies this. Companies need to be held accountable for these kind of things. www.kiro7.com/news/trendin...

btw the human eye can absolutely perceive monitor refresh rates beyond 60 Hz. I'd cap out at around 36,000 Hz, for example it's not about flicker fusion, it's about spatial continuity

I went to work on my lecture over some ramen and the server asked if I worked in healthcare, because she’s a cancer bioinformatician who can’t find a job and is in now in tenuous visa territory. I’m so sad and angry about this country, and it keeps hitting me at the moments I don’t expect it

if i ever become an architect for public spaces im gonna build waist-high structures in chunks of 1-3m width so that everyone knows on approach that a fight is imminent

Doing non-video game stuff is important for gamedevs, so our heads don't implode. -Go for a hike -Grow some plants -Watch a documentary -Read some books -Go to a gig -Do some DIY -Bake bread -Talk shit with friends* *The best

Without saying the name, what's your favorite video game?

You know all those cool #ScreenshotSaturday posts I've been making about Fist of the Forgotten lately? The demo has been updated, so you can check the new stuff! store.steampowered.com/app/1843990/... Demo reviews much appreciated! #GodotEngine

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

I also wish we had a cheap, free, simple little vector animation tool that's really just shockwave flash or something. Like, animated symbols. I miss just... Creating dumb animations and not needing to plan so much ahead, just doodle and make a thing in an afternoon lol

Some wholesome Trek content to start the week right #startrek #tng #voyager #ds9

It wasn’t always this way, felt like we made some decent progress here until many developers started getting too much abuse online to want to bother putting themselves out there at all.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.
