It's crazy that the best decisions Resolve and Premiere have made in the last decade are all copying Final Cut Pro X - a program which butchered its own rollout so bad that it singlehandedly killed Apple's stranglehold on the film industry

If you can't afford Apple's creative apps, they're now letting you access the entire suite on a $12.99/month subscription. But this is a huge downgrade from their previous 'affordable' option: stealing the apps from their retail demo computers by airdropping them to your phone.

I just watched this tutorial on "how to [x] in [software]". After 60 full seconds of buildup, including live action footage of the creator explaining the problem while on a hike, he cuts to this:

What are some smaller-scoped hidden object or Myst-like games that are also Really Good?

Hey four-eyes Is there a meaningful difference between these two volumes of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, from Lily Owens and Erik Christian Haugaard?

It's wild to see a surge of homebrew retro console software, but they're all vibe coded so I just cannot give a shit about them. The draw of those novelty projects was the archaeology, the spectacle of practicing a dead tradition. This strips out everything that isn't on the surface

it's really simple: when you cross 9 digits the bank makes you drop a brick on your head

You can tell Erin is a great developer because he named his (now industry staple) physics engine "Box", and when it came time to name his next physics engine, he shook things up and named it "Box" again

how many people are streaming quake mapping whatever the number, it's not enough

What's the best place to learn about Source engine level scripting? Especially by example. The docs make it seem deceptively straightforward, but it's hard to understand the design choices because often it seems like the value is "doing things this way allows you to execute XYZ weird hack"

i like this scroll wheel interface on a phone that has no scroll wheels on it

a hairy doughnut, on the other hand, is quite easily combable

ok

whenever it's cloudy out, i go out and 3D scan of some bullshit with my phone so i can rip textures and normals for game shit highly recommend

why is every computer display in star wars always showing the pepsi universe

🚨BREAKING: Tim Sweeney says only hope for new games is to 'connect to BlackBerry AppWorld and get your game onto the new PlayBook OS 2.0 and BlackBerry 10 platforms'

If I make a Reddit account will someone give me half a million dollars

Tim Sweeney just paused the stream to read a Kalshi ad, but they didn't finish skinning the guy yet so he's just screaming in the background. I hope they announce a performance boost for Lumen. #StateOfUnreal2026

Oh they're just skinning a guy alive on stage #StateOfUnreal2026

Freya's been building awesome human-first creative tools and learning resources for ages now. If you've ever liked the stuff I've rambled about, you should give her your support!

This quick article by Beth Mathews rules. There's always history in the things you wouldn't normally think to notice.

it is so satisfying to just sit down and make some existing bullshit run less-slow

lots of game aesthetic discourse circles the drain around "people often do the stuff that their tools most easily afford doing" water takes the steepest path downhill. it's art direction responding to those practical concerns

i am working on this, doing so many things!!

stylized unreal games: please turn off your motion blur please turn off your motion blur please turn off your motion blur please turn off your motion blur please turn off your motion blur please turn off your motion blur please turn off your motion blur please turn off your motion blur please turn

saw that new too-good-to-be-true markerless motion capture tech, and the training data is fucking amazing

It's awesome that indie film is having a moment right now. The next step just has to be wider funding for people to make bad art. Build a creative community that isn't bleeding its most promising voices, letting only the luckiest of the luckiest survive.

They're saying Geoff Keighley might be in this one file:///C:/Users/Sam/Downloads/keighley.jpg

fun activity: - show friends "Angels With Dirty Faces" or "The Public Enemy (1931) - wait for them to ask why some gunshot effects look incredibly real while other effects are dogshit - explain it was filmed before the wide unionization of the film industry - wait for it to click

it's still so fucking funny that we had an era of games with "colorblind accessibility modes" which just added a filter that simulated colorblindness brother you made it worse

interesting discussion on a dvd commentary upload:
