Yo! I am in need a better pinned post/thread, so I was thinking it'd be fun to do a little AMA on here.

Hit me with your questions, about Game Dev, VR, Cooking, My Stupid Hats, Whatever You Feel Like! I'll be answering stuff rapidly all day.

One of my latest Mordheim pieces. Did a riser experiment seeing how various pre-made texture surfaces worked. Used ABS sheet from Greenstuffworld for the side-brick, and some textured wallpaper for the top Cobblestone. I dig the result.

I feel like every VR dev needs to be forced to sit in a chair, and play the intro of Doom 2016.

If your game doesn't get you to your primary verb that fast, consider changing how it works.

You CAN start teaching AFTER the player is already having fun.

Man... VR games you actually have to pay money for are pretty fucked right now.

Lol, Escape from Tarkov launches on Steam and doesn't even clear the current CCU of Escape from Duckov.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Randomly watching Tomorrow War.
This shit is hilarious.

Aliens attacking in the future? Let's send random citizens into the future to fight them, with no training, with HERA stock M4s with ACOGs, 4-6 magazines, no other supplies.

Like I don't know how people simultaneously hold "we're seeing a massive boom not just in hardcore action and horror games that explain nothing, but simultaneously a heavily viral boom in barely parseable Roblox slop" and "but the kids! They just can't figure things out!" in their heads? Come on now

Fuck me, they really did turn Metroid 4 into a fucking Marvel movie www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Superhero movies are a fucking plague, they destroyed an entire generation of media- yes the first few waaaay back in the 10's were kinda fun, but they weren't worth... This.

The little details in Pluribus are the most hilarious and terrifying things at the same time. I am head over heals for this show.

Just watched episode 3 of #Pluribus. It doesn’t disappoint. The feeling of not knowing where this trip is going but loving the ride reminds me of the first season of Lost. Also great world building! Must watch! #Plur1bus @plur1buspodcast.bsky.social @podcastica.com

The thing I'm most interested in is, after the honeymoon phase, how many 'normies' actually want to wear a headset to play flat games on a virtual screen, if that experience is made maximally frictionless and comfortable.

I was a huge fan of Manifold Garden, and love VR games that experiment with natural locomotion like Unseen Diplomacy or Eye of the temple, so getting this is a no-brainer!

Curious: In all the press coverage of the frame (TLDW), and all the stats being shared, has anyone asked Valve is the device can play a Quest 3 equivalent apk? and if not, where its perf lands in practice between a Quest 2 and 3?

Seems an odd omission I haven't seen any talk of this.

Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

If you ever fall in love with an arcade game that doesn't fit into one of the small handful of existing big genres, prepare to spend the rest of your days being frustrated about the fact that nobody will ever make a successor to it or develop it in any way

As an appreciator of cubes, out of all of today's announcement, a cube-shaped computer honestly tops things for me. I don't even care what's in it. Merely that it is a cube.

For no reason at all I'm just thinking back to that weekend where WMR released and there was this sudden influx of new VR players who'd been told their machines with 1050 gpus in them were enough to run VR games, when they'd all been designed for 970gtxes (m more powerful) minimum.

That was fun.

Ok, I have one thought actually.

Saw someone calling it the 'Gabe Cube', and I think this is a hilarious and perfect name.

Regardless of what does or doesn't happen tomorrow, XR BS is going to be annoying as hell. Logging off for at least 24 hours.

Peace.
