I conducted an experiment with AI, loosely inspired by brain hemispheres. Almost a year later, here is a write up! rasmusrasmussen.com/2025/12/01/t...

I’m going around singing “we’re cha-a-ined!” You can too. youtu.be/tVCUAXOBF7w?...

Wrapping my brain around Bayesian statistics. How are you?

Whenever someone makes an awkward comment about men crying, I think of Macho Man Randy Savage. www.reddit.com/r/MensLib/co...

Content warning: Self-harm Today, I learned that someone I used to work closely with took their own life about a month ago. We weren’t close enough that I had any idea that he was struggling, but it still hit me pretty hard. He was 7 years younger than me.

Worth the read.

Never underestimate the power of a small kindness.

What he said.

A couple of people have asked me what I think of the Steam Machine. I think Xbox is in trouble. And Game Pass? Why would anyone pay for that when there are Steam sales? So, yes. I think the Steam Machine is going to be a hit.

I cannot overstate how much I hate visual coding and blueprints. It just does not work for my brain. Don't make me scroll around a canvas looking for nodes. I'm used to lines of code, CTRL+F is all I need in a script file. Ugh!

Republican Jesus turns wine into water.

If someone says they don’t like Wallace and Gromit, can you even trust them?

As Thanksgiving approaches, I pause to send a thought to Bob Belcher, whose seasonal turkey-trouble is always looming…

I've been so busy lurking that I forgot to post. Anyway, I am still alive. Not well, necessarily, and definitely not sleeping when I should be... but alive nonetheless.

Yes.

Still one of my favorite comedic songs of all time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVN_...

anyway for my fellow devs I recommend filling out the state of the industry survey, it's imperfect but about as good as we get in trying to get a yearly pulse of the industry gdconf.typeform.com/SOTI26

128 kids. So. Much. Candy. 🎃

Not quite Paul Simon… I got bills to pay And promises to keep I’m angry and tired but can’t ever sleep Let the morning time drop all its bullshit on me Life, I hate you All is gloomy

Amazon calling Valve a small company says everything right there. It’s the most profitable company per employee in the world. The mindset on display is hilariously ignorant.

Life hack? I once walked drunkenly into a pizza place and ordered a pizza for delivery and asked if I could get delivered along with it. They laughed but said yes. I tipped well and never asked again. But it worked!

Humming this one to myself as I do the dishes. It’s Zappa. youtu.be/gZUx0t4j-VE?...

I’ll only ever refer to it as the Epstein Ballroom.

I am lucky that one of the best concert experiences of my life was filmed, and that it still holds up to how I remember it. Thank you, mr. Bowie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsYp...

2:30 AM... Switching medication has really messed with my sleep schedule. 🥱

A perk of being in charge of the workflow is getting to name each #gamedev build cycle and hearing everyone else refer to them by name in the months to come. 🎳

My take, for #gamedev producers on how to prioritize your work. Note that people come first. Do not skip step 1: 1. People: support the teams AND the individual 2. Product: whatever we need to ship it on time 3. Process: aligning the two listed above

As an immigrant to the US, seeing the pictures from the No Kings protests gives me hope for the future. Thank you to every citizen that came out in support of democracy and human decency. ❤️🐸

Olivia Colman is my celebrity crush.

Thanks to this post, my theme song of the day (and perhaps in general) is The Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated”… youtu.be/bm51ihfi1p4?...

Excellent marketing, to be honest. When you get gold like this review, milk it! 😊

I am not even anti-AI but watering down of knowledge and the perpetuation of hallucinations is definitely a problem, and something everyone should be aware of. Also, @kurzgesagt.org is awesome.

Still finding folks randomly from the old bird place. Once again highlighting the danger of only connecting with people on a single, 3rd party platform.

Sometimes I want to poke the bear, just because it fucking annoys me. Must. Resist. Urge.

Important work item for all #gamedev is time set aside for rumination. This often involves stepping away from the screen, perhaps even the touching of grass.

There are few things better than befriending a wild animal.

Every Monday, we have a team building session at @chroniclersoftware.com. It’s usually just watching a movie that has inspired our game in some way, but next week we are watching a movie that has inspired our studio culture. I’m very excited for that one!

100% my favorite album of all time.

If you’re the type of person who always does last minute cleaning before having anyone over, here’s a pro tip: don’t get a vaccine booster the day before you plan to do all that cleaning. 😣

It's shocking how many of our problems would evaporate if we just treated each other with kindness.

Um, on second thought, I think I’ll have the ranch dressing.

Working in Unreal Engine makes my brain hurt.

Theme song today. youtu.be/HQaPT58mh8k?...

One of the greatest lies #ADHD people tell themselves: “I’ll just put it here for now.”

I need more Bob’s Burgers in my life. That show is like medicine for the soul.

One of the best WFH tips I have is: put a small white board where you can see it and use it for things you need to be reminded of. Note: this only works if you remember the “use it” part. Maybe make that the first thing you write on it.

The #GamesIndustry treating #GameDev employees these days... But some will get through! 🦾

"When you're coming back to work while still recovering, and you need to catch up on everything, be slow and unapologetic about it." My better half reminded me of this, as I was freaking out about having missed a few days. The ideal is to hit the ground running, but on crutches? Walking is fine!
