Credits rolled for DK Bananza. The number of layers stretched a bit, but the final few battles were great. Couldn't help but bob my head when the music started rolling.

New books have arrived.

One of them describes the staff engineer, a role that isn't commonly defined in the games industry.

The other is chef Edward Lee's book about his travels through American cuisine.

It's good to reinvent the wheel sometimes!

Great post by Matthias Endler.

It helps understanding how wheels work, how you can fix them when broken, how to make better wheels if really needed, or how to find creative use cases for wheels by thinking outside the box.

Credits rolled for Crashlands 2. There were some really great peaks in their humor. The music towards the last few hours constantly reminded me of a Muse track.

Been spending my evenings for the past week playing Crashlands 2. It's such a fun and goofy game.

Butterscotch Shenanigans sent out a newsletter with their Discord link. While tempting, I want to avoid spoilers. A feeling similar to the modern day strategy guide that I don't want to open?

Crashlands 2 released yesterday. A humorous survival crafter adventure.

I played it for several hours today on iPhone with a Backbone controller and everything works great. It's not apples to apples, but I appreciate the lighter weight and grip compared to portable gaming consoles.

Dead Talents Society was tonight's viewing. A low-key release on Netflix today of a horror comedy produced out of Taiwan about ghosts chasing fame. Very goofy and funny.

I'm thru the first few episodes of Frieren. It has a very gentle and heartwarming storytelling style, similar to Natsume's Book of Friends.

Pretty cool news for #gamedev projects. Already a great tool for personal note organization.

Since files are plain text markdown, if combined with version control, you now have a project wiki maintainable by the entire team. Plus, you get strong review and revision history systems on top of that.

Today's reading during the long haul flight. Found it more entertaining than the in-flight offerings. #booksky

Found a place to sit down and have a latte. The cup design is pure nostalgic feels.
