Retired pro gamedev, SNES thru Xbone. Tinkerer & thinkerer. GenX. I want humanity to achieve more. I try to help with that.
Oh, huh. For some reason I thought it was late '24, after the award nominations, like it is this year (Dec 25). I guess it even won! Well, I got my wish after all, cool. 😀

Aw, where's Fallout? They did a decent job. No, it's not totally accurate to the game, especially if you're a lore fanatic, but it's soooo much more accurate to the game than most other game adaptations are... sigh 😓

This is why I only let the DMV take my photo.

I really feel like there's a joke about "fucking AI" somewhere in there but I'm tired and I'll just agree instead.

(The cautiously-unspoken answer being, "Because I'm not a fucking psychopath like you apparently are?!?")

Yeah, if I were Supreme Overlord, I would 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to outlaw religion, but I have had too many conversations with the devout (not all but too many) where the person asked me what makes me a good person if I don't think I'll go to Hell otherwise? Why don't I just lie, cheat, steal and kill at will? 🙄 smh

That is so cute. 😊

Even at a big company where they can expense tickets for people to go, only the key players in a studio get to go.

Not to mention that anyone pulling in only a fraction of that isn't likely to want to say so.

I'm glad it hasn't died because I think there's still potential for some breakthrough that makes it work, but for now it's still mostly just a gimmick, and as for games, it doesn't really mesh with the experience most people want out of most games. Only some work... sims, tactics, builders, XXX? 🤷🏻‍♀️

at the end of the day, it's still pretty clunky to use, you need prescription inserts if you have any eyesight problems at all (who tf doesn't), and frankly I don't feel like we know yet how to make a good VR experience. Right now the only stuff it's good at is being a tool, a la what Apple's doing.

I think the simple truth is that, despite, what? going on 15 years? since I kickstarted the original Oculus Rift devkit, I feel like the tech is still in its infancy. Yes, it's smaller and lighter and higher res and has a bunch of other upgrades like foveated rendering and streaming, but... ↓

I dunno, gives people plenty of time to notice the project, which could include gaming "journalists" who might actually bother to mention it to fill their stupid quotas of gaming clickbait-headline slop.

"Will this block game dethrone Minecraft?"

"Is Mojang worried about this block game?"

etc. 🤮

Input from 𝘢𝘯𝘺 HID, simultaneously, so you can do stuff like controller or wand with an mmo mouse, which is the one true pairing and technically counts as 3 devices. Very few games handle it properly, if they even allow it. It's stupid how many disallow one if you choose another.
November 13, 2025 at 6:19 AM
BTW, controller + mmo mouse is technically three devices, since the mmo mouse usually emulates a keyboard for its button grid.

Not just rebindable, but from any HID, simultaneously, so you can do stuff like controller or wand with an mmo mouse, which is the one true pairing. Very few games handle it properly, if they even allow it. It's stupid how many disallow the other if you choose mouse vs. keyboard.

Sorry not sorry.

Someone should tell them that raw potatoes 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 toxins.

I don't know what the problem usually is, but if you're feeling more brain fog than usual, then you should make sure you're not also dealing with low blood sugar.
November 13, 2025 at 6:02 AM
(Plus I'd feel conceited to do something like that.)

Eh, WP/Mobygames are really spotty, since no one is paid to go search out unlisted titles. It's all down to someone's fickle interests and energy levels when it comes to putting a game's credits up there.

A couple of the games I worked on aren't listed, and tbh, I can't be bothered to do it myself.
