Game design isn’t about being able to identify problems. Everyone who plays games can identify problems. Game design is about diagnosing player experience, having intent, and executing. I think to a lot of folks outside dev, game criticism (an art in itself) is seen as interchangeable with design.

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

For gaming, Microsoft views steamOS as the benchmark, and is working to optimize the platform so that steamOS and Windows gaming performance are comparable. Within the next year or two, it believes that Windows will be able to truly compete head-to-head with steamOS in gaming performance on identical hardware due to foundational changes that are being made to the platform in the coming months.

Has been the case for a while, but I genuinely don't know how to process living on a planet where such a blatant disregard for human life is this normal for so many people "How will a civilization being destroyed affect investors?" We are all human beings. What the fuck are we doing

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

photo showing the rescuers saving the dog, next to the statue commemorating them

closeup on the base of the statue, showing a dog and a man in a ball cap

the top of the statue, where the person at the top of the slope has his hand outstretched so the viewer can "help" pull him up

Anyone can master a skill if they work at it for long enough, no matter how unintuitive it might seem to them at first. With enough effort, you WILL eventually get good at it. This applies in all scenarios except with me and level design,

Please make more games where exploration of the world isn't used primarily a vehicle to fight stuff. We're always fighting stuff in all these intriguing worlds in which I would love to explore and interact with in interesting ways. Thank you for your time

Game design these days doesn't treat exploration as an experience, but as a mechanic from which other mechanics can be served. ... and imo that fucking sucks ass

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing
