This trailer being a 90s style anime set to Cantopop makes me so happy

Feels like it may be targeted at a Chinese company in particular but I'm sure this will have real impact on lootboxes in general

[Discussion of ideation]

This has been part of my life for a very long time. I've also got a wonderful partner and girlfriend and a small but very real community. I do work I'm proud of. I am myself.

If this is your reality too, please know you're not broken or doomed. And you're not alone.
I am not always very attached to being alive
Chronic, passive suicidal ideation is like living in the ocean. Let’s start talking about how to tread water.

Hey just a heads up that I’m looking for a job. I’ve done technical design work on apex legends, astroneer, and shipped a couple of my own games.

I know it’s crazy rough out there for everyone right now. I’d love to keep working in games but I’m starting to realistically wonder if a pivot is needed

I don't know who out there needs to hear this. But if you're a #gamedev mom (inc mom-to-be, ttc) and feeling like you have no community and could really use support? DM me, I'm in a wonderfully supportive gamedev mom community and we'd love to have you

Bluesky, I bestow unto thee, a story about Unreal Engine that should not be buried inside of the Unreal Engine Forums. Please let your Unreal Engine using friends know of this travesty. It's too good.

Yesterday while picking up takeout with my wife, we got yelled at for having our masks on by a random dude on the street: "It's been years and you're still wearing diapers on your face!?!?". The timing of this certainly seems like it's not a coincidence, and it's sad to see this happen even in LA.

I have a joke about game development. It's long, hard, and I'd be super grateful if you get to the end of it, but it's also not very funny :(

Friend I'm playing Space Marines 2 with "Nearly ready... procreating shaders"

Me: "...is that what happens when a mommy shader and a daddy shader love each other very much?"

I don't want to be on Twitter but it seems impossible to transplant the social graph I have built up on that :(
October 17, 2024 at 2:10 AM
Honestly the value of a social media site is the network of people on it, so here's hoping Bluesky going open means I can somehow transplant all the cool people from older networks while the trolls are kept away.

Gawd this manual rebuilding of contacts sucks

I worked on a thing! :) It's a quick fun free-for-all experience on Fortnite. Run, shoot, and put together a jigsaw puzzle in a 8 player map. Please try it out if you're looking for something new, and let me know what you think! :)
Try Jigsaw Dash on Fortnite! Island Code: 6365-4801-3779 Run, dash, and shoot to collect Jigsaw Pieces to complete a puzzle in this free-for-all experience. Collect the most pieces to win! The fastest players get the most pieces but remember - you can't outrun a bullet!

"This is why it’s often said that debugging code is like trying to solve a murder where you’re both the murderer and the detective."

SO GOOD
