The f stands for "first-rate"

Also don't sleep on HOTEL BARCELONA!

See you guys in like 3 days

My daughter didn't believe that I worked on "the first Android phone," so I pulled my G1 out of the closet and charged it up. It still had Replica Island on it! Here she is playing a game I made when she was a year old, 17 years ago, with bonus dog.

Hell yeah, I'm Ju-on: The Grudge for Wii.

I finally cleaned up my messy cablework

Rec Room was fun, but had to lay off a lot of folks, so I am looking for the next opportunity. If you are looking for a senior graphics coder to solve all your rendering problems on any platform, either remote or in the Seattle area, I'd love to hear from you. Picture is purely for attention.

I’m going to be thinking about this for years

Man I hope the Silksong folks have some vacation planned after this. Talk about a high-pressure launch. I wouldn't have slept for a week if I were in their shoes.

Panzer Dragoon Saga tech fact: The game shipped with a bunch of debug menus/features At boot up, if the game detect a save with a special name, debug modes will be enabled. More debug flags are enabled if a button on 2nd controller is pressed when hitting start. 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC2L...

It struck me yesterday that the pattern of core fans gatekeeping their favorite niche media and getting upset when it goes mainstream is about the perceived loss of a safe space community, about losing the ability to use their fandom as a marker to identify members of a common subculture.

The first computer my family owned was a Mac SE, on which I played Shadowgate, Prince of Persia, a thousand World Builder games, and Shufflepuck Cafe. But my first real computer was the Apple II/e at school, where I was introduced to Karateka, EA Summer Games, The Bilestoad, and BASIC.

The trajectory of my life as computer nerd was fundamentally altered by AKIRA in ~1992, which e-break turned me on to Japanese. Now I have bilingual kids and 15 haniwa statues on my desk and a business card with two sides. Turns out you can dual wield nerd interest in video games and cultural study.

you wanna tell me an NPC’s not important when she’s got HER OWN CUSTOM ANIM SET okay mmhmm sure

I haven't seen anything in English about the horror film 近畿地方のある場所について (About An Area in the Kinki District). I read the manga and saw the movie recently. The story revolves around a pair of reporters slowly realizing that a string of weird reports all come from a remote area outside Osaka.

Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan (1981) Episode 3

The Limey is one of the greatest, most unique, quietly badass films ever made. I saw it for the first time in a theater a couple years ago (after many times at home) and it was stunning, better than ever. Honor Terence with a watch.

Important piece from AV watch regarding whether Sadako from The Ring could have cursed a Beta tape just as well as a VHS tape despite dying before the video wars even began. (they conclude yes)

I was shocked to learn how many ppl my age have not done any one sport/art/hobby in their life for minimum 10 yrs w consistency. I hope everyone finds a thing they love enough to keep at for a decade, bc reflecting on it afterwards will instantly demystify skill acquisition + the myth of Talent.

Random game Saturday, it's Fighter Maker and Fighter Maker 2. Make your own fighting game by hand-animating every move (with IK, bones, key frames, etc), setting up damage regions, and linking it all together in a behavior tree with button mappings. Then try it out in the ring.

I'm playing a little Metal Gear Solid 2, because of course I am, and I just love the way they do shadows on the Big Shell To make sure Raiden wasn't casting stencil shadows on top of lightmapped ones, they actually cut into the geo and disabled Raiden's shadow in larger shadowed areas

If you played DEAD SECRET CIRCLE, you probably have some idea of how much influence I think Nancy Drew (and to a lesser extent, the Hardy Boys) had on the modern success and staying power of mystery fiction. You got like 24 hours to back this! bsky.app/profile/did:...

I’m part of a project near and dear to my heart, a documentary about Nancy Drew: her stories, games, & place in girls’ imaginations Funding was cut by the fed, so it’s up to Kickstarter. Please, if you can - this is a special project that deserves to come out www.kickstarter.com/projects/cod...

USA!!!! The greatest comedy of all time

I've updated my website / portfolio! 2dforever.com Now with 220% more animations (of which you can toggle off!) I am looking for work, so please have a look and let me know if I seem like a good fit for your project :)

~20 years ago I was sitting at a GDC round table about "AI in games" that was a mix of academics and industry people. We went around the room to talk about the algorithms we were using and the academics were like, "generative algorithms, neural networks!" and I was like, "uh, state machines."

I think Kojima is a Big Ideas guy, and man, it's fun to see his mostly-non-violent exploration game about the human value of community in an isolated world work so well as just, like, a fun video game.

What perfect albums came out when you were 16?

It's Sunday morning and my hotel only offers decaf or hot water. Pray for me

Random game Saturday, it's Silent Hill Downpour, categorically the worst title in the series (and that includes SILENT HILL THE ARCADE and the unfortunate BOOK OF MEMORIES). I wrote a design analysis masquerading as a review a decade ago. horror.dreamdawn.com?p=14500000

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.
