Having fun developing an extension to have a more focused and visually less noisy experience browsing #BlueSky 👨‍🎨
It feels like Highguard is Halo 5's Warzone but as a whole game built around this concept.

Frankly? Why not. Interesting enough to give it a try at least, only wish the art direction wasn't "fantasy meets guns"...

Playing Metroid Fusion for the very first time... What a terrifying game!

Despite being +30 it gives me the same uneasiness as Metroid Prime did when I was 12 and I was already spooked by the music from the menu back then.

The sound design provides such dread, I'm blasted a GBA game holds so well.

It looks like straight out of Star Trek!

Ngl, I didn't even know it was a thing, guess I was too young in 2009.

Started working on this over the holiday break and forgot to post about it. 😅

Ludens is an atproto game tracking app that revolves around managing your modern and retro game catalog.

It uses IGDB and retro achievements to help keep track of your backlog and has a command menu for adding games.

Yeah, SHINOBI sincerely was my Game Of The Year for 2025, such a fantastic game and it played so well on my Switch Lite 🥷

Designers should go back creating for the simplest joy of doing instead of always seeking return on investment.

Working on a little something which should definitely bring joy to the Halo Community 😏

So that's what the early User Interface for Destiny looked like? Quite an interesting exploration, not so far distanced from what shipped in the end

the anthropic drama (tl;dr they blocked third party tools from using claude code subscriptions) is a useful reminder that you use LLMs at the pleasure of the companies providing them

sounds obvious but despite all the AI discourse, i don't see a lot of people talking about the consequences of this

@gibiz.bsky.social Could you please avoid to mass "repost" your articles all at once, especially when two of them are the exact same?

I love reading your publication but it's getting out of hand and appears almost like a spam on my timeline to the point I'm considering unfollowing.
