A little reminder. #art #illustration
A digital drawing with  smaller panels inside of which are different labdscapes, and on top is the text ”as I watch the trees prepare for a season of rest I am reminded that I can do that too”, the landscapes feature mushrooms, hills, a lighthouse and flowers.

There’s also an app called Moonlight. A bit more setup required but I think it has lower latency and more settings to tweak

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a small group of friends is hanging out indoors. Two guys are on the couch, holding video game controllers. A third guy steps into the room and says, “can someone move their car?” Panel 2: he continues, “there’s an impossible device blocking me.” In the driveway, a beige car is parked in front of a glossy, unfathomable biomechanic vehicle. Panel 3: back in the video game room, a spindly, three-eyed alien creature steps from across the room with a car key in hand. The alien says, “that’s me, bro— I’ll move.” One of the guys on the couch throws up his hands because the alien is blocking the TV.

Meeting up with friends who have been on a TV show the last 4 months to hear how they’ve been driving home half asleep and nearly crashed several times is not fun

I used to work in production for film & tv and done way too many hours of work in a day and it burnt me out. It’s so normalised to do 11 hour days plus several hours of overtime. No time for family, friends, hobbies, having a life outside of work is impossible

Honestly you could have taken clips from each trailer and put them together and it would have looked like the same game lol. An obsession with high fidelity realism art style while ignoring all the things that make games interesting

If companies really wanted to boost productivity they would have a worker first culture, not lay people off, and build institutional knowledge. But you can’t buy a subscription to that and type in a couple of prompts

I’m hoping that eventually people realise having the average of everything isn’t very good especially when everyone else is doing the same. I watched Gamescom ONL and 99% of games just looked the same.

How good could active noise canceling in headphones get?

 It’s really one of the tightest time constraints in computing. Obviously, sound hits the microphone first *before* hitting your eardrum…but that’s only about 10 microseconds.

I think moderation is key but god damn is moderation hard. Too often and nothing gets done. I end up reflecting a lot but you have to actually do something to look back on

No middleware! Big Walk's sound is implemented using our custom tool-set @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social made himself, called Cuttle. We use it often so check it out if you're interested! 😉 ashellinthepit.com/content/cutt...

Is this tool only for in house or do you lease it out to other devs/audio people? 👀

Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.

I’ve always heard audio people and the likes loving trackballs but never gave them a proper shot. I think I know why now 😅

Ashley Wills @ashleywills.co.uk · 11/08/2026
Also the ball matches my nails. The scroll wheel thing is a little disappointing, I thought it would be clicky? Feels kinda loose. The buttons are great and you can map them, even map two buttons being pressed at the same time

This thing is smaller than I was expecting? I don’t know why i thought it would be huge, I guess it gives huge vibes. I thought they’d be a period of getting used to a trackball but it feels really easy to use, at least for me. Feels great to use and comfortable

I’ve been trying out new mice and one of them being the Logitech Lift. I thought I’d like a vertical mouse but it doesn’t hug my hand like I wanted it to. Honestly feels less comfortable than my Logitech Pro Lightspeed. So instead I’m trying out a Kensington trackball… 🧵
