The new Steam Machine might replace my PS5 Pro, depending on price and how much it may or may not be out of pocket after selling my PS5 Pro.

Finally free from constant appointments! The past few weeks, have been stacked. Going to take a few days to get nice and rested and go 110% on game development for a while!

I'm interested to see the Steam Machine's price. That's going to be the deciding factor on whether it's a success or not.
Valve has announced three new products: the next-gen Steam Machine, the next-gen Steam Controller, and Steam Frame, its next-gen virtual reality headset.

My papers have been met with seriousness; they're getting a large number of views/downloads in the short time they've been on academic platforms, especially for an independent researcher.
I was expecting to meet with laughter if anything, so this level of reserved seriousness is kinda unsettling.

Paper 2 in the Codex Series has just been published.
The Codex applied to symbolic reality and meaning-based systems: religion, cults, memes — different domains, same engine underneath.

Just a quick update! Game development resumes next week — this week is packed with research papers, appointments, and a court date (not in trouble).
Looking forward to returning to development refreshed and recharged.

The biggest success of Tech companies is convincing everyone, including those who hate it, that an LLM (Large Language Model) is "AI" in the first place.
By saying 'I hate AI!' you've still fallen for the trap, because they still got you to call it "AI".
That distinction is half the battle.

Got hit with creative burnout. Haven’t made much progress this week — my brain’s been fried with migraines all week. Been resting, and it’s slowly improving. It’s like a car that used to be totally dead — no lights, no response. Now it turns over, sputters, and stalls again. #ProjectNewDawn #gamedev

Announcement: The combat system in the upcoming demo will feature a classic turn-based setup with statuses, strengths, & weaknesses.
The full game, however, is planned to use a CTB (Conditional Turn-Based) system—with some unique twists that I'll share later!

Been budgeting hard lately—crunching numbers, cutting costs, and questioning every life choice along the way. Turns out being an adult is just advanced math and mild suffering. I’ve had enough migraines to know I’m doing something right. 😅💸
