bottleofstars.bsky.social @bottleofstars.bsky.social · 28/10/2025New Katamari is great but it's also representative of how fucked software is now. It's the same low-tier PS2 graphics as usual (not complaining), but it's 30fps with bad pop-in and tight LODs in places. Switch 1 should be a behemoth at rendering a HD PS2 game, and they just can't do it. #gamedev 042 0

bottleofstars.bsky.social @bottleofstars.bsky.social · 10/08/2025I think #gpt5 is going be a much bigger deal than the doomers are expecting.

bottleofstars.bsky.social @bottleofstars.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Gotta say I like how DK bananza is willing to drop the fps 0.5% of the time so they can do outrageous stuff when it really counts. Not something you see very often. #gamedev 062 0

bottleofstars.bsky.social @bottleofstars.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Don’t get too excited for 60/120 fps. Upgraded switch 1 games may hit that mark but when crossplatform games are over, devs will go right back to maxing out graphics at 30fps like they always do 000 0
