Animation Obsessive @ani-obsessive.bsky.social · 1d

Pixar designed Toy Story to be printed on physical film. The Disney renaissance movies were the same.

Today, it's hard to see them as they were meant to be seen. The versions on streaming and home media aren't quite the same films that ruled the '90s:

I see the same old people since my days of doing that stuff

Joshua Tsui 🍥 @joshuatsui.bsky.social · 1d

Looking at it from the outside, the games industry seems otherwise to have way too many conferences. I mean, how many times can you see the same old people over and over again in one year?

This slide! Can I use it? I’ve been in so many conversations where I have to tell others about this, haha!

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since

pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.

The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

The Game Awards' Future Class program remains on ice

Future Class organizer Emily Weir has informed past honorees that The Game Awards has no active plans for the program.

Saw Back To The Future in IMAX last night. We really need to talk more about how great Crispin Glover was in that movie. Just did an amazing job of portraying George McFly at different stages in his life.

There's a little over a month away until this game launches. Yep.

Wait, people are shocked that playing against AI opponents in arcade games is brutally hard?

Yeh, I haven't deep dived into the different HDRs out there. Why there's more than one...who knows. Now, back to color grading....DON'T GET ME STARTED

Joshua Tsui 🍥 @joshuatsui.bsky.social · 7d

Yeh, it was before it got scaled down (and taken over by MS). It was pretty effective but the cost of it was not going to work for the consumer market

Joshua Tsui 🍥 @joshuatsui.bsky.social · 7d

Did I ever tell you that we were testing out the Kinect (before it was called Kinect) for Activision as a possible alternative to the Tony Hawk peripheral?

Joshua Tsui 🍥 @joshuatsui.bsky.social · 7d

Good?

Joshua Tsui 🍥 @joshuatsui.bsky.social · 7d

Don't get me started on color grading!

I believe that’s when the digitizing process went full digital disk after VHS and Hi8 for the previous games.

This is so late 90s Chicago

New dream project: A fighting game where characters fight like real life people. Totally uncoordinated and clumsy. Who wants to fund this?

A huge brawl broke out at the Bass Pro Shop grand opening in Odessa, TX. From the looks of it, no one was seriously injured...

Videos like this really show how lame real fights look. I'd love to see an action film where the characters are this uncoordinated
