Seeing republicans trying to sell off precious public lands is deeply hurtful. These people care so little for people and planet that I wonder how we could have morphed into something so inhuman.

It's honestly kinda baffling how there isn't really a standard for accessibility options in games. Seems like some games have tons and others have barely a consideration.

While struggling with gyroscopes on my game dev project, I remembered a QoL feature that saved my playthrough in Skywards Sword. Perhaps I treated you too harshly SS.

You know when they say game dev is the best video game? They're totally right, and it's harder than dark souls.

Check out the first light gun game. It came out in 1936!

For reference, pong came out in 1972

I thought I was clever when I thought "light-gun games really do share a lot of dna with theme park rides" And then I remembered there are theme park rides that are quite literally shooting games on rails. Now i wonder if the design process is basically the same

Video games, as any art form, is dependent on the context in which they were made. In the jump from arcade cabinets to at home consoles, the medium really had a chance to stretch its legs and grow without being bound by the limitations of its predecessor. But what was left behind?

Down a rabbit hole looking for answers on getting inputs from game pads. Gyros are an underappreciated aspect of game controls it seems.

I was asked to be a interviewee for "The Blood on our Controllers", a documentary about Palestine & their dehumanization in games by @hippolyte.bsky.social. It's out now.

There are parts where I don't quite keep it together, and it is hard to watch myself struggle. Proud to have spoken up, though.
