I mean shit, if you put something out for the public to see, the public will (and if helpful and constructive, SHOULD) respond. I'm with you here. Feedback is crucial to developing skills.

"Texture Loaded" Really? My texture-less screen says otherwise

Forgive me if this is a wild take. But the new Fable looks incredible.

I'll let this video I have saved to my hard drive speak for itself. Keep going and don't be afraid to fail.

I am... so close to structuring my own game engine. It's like. On the tip of my tongue. I'm so close. 14 year old me would be proud I think.

The AI says it's 90% sure, and we're about 70% sure it's correct, working off about an 85% margin of error, so I say we go for it!

I guess what I keep coming back to is just. Combat Evolved still exists. You can play it right now. What's the point of re-making a game in the modern day if not to make it. Modern?

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure valid criticisms exist and I'm gonna temper expectations here But like. The arguments dominating the conversation are just "GUN SOUND DIFFERENT" "NEW NEEDLER INSTEAD OF OLD >:^("

I have yet to hear a complaint about the the Halo CE remake that is not entirely superficial

I'm confused, was this article written with AI?? It doesn't expand on the headline at all and just explains how GenAI could be used in game development (incredibly favorably btw, ew)

For Premiere, I recommend DaVinci Resolve. Industry standard for colour grading, but has a great workflow and capacity for editing, sound, and fx. Also it's free + open source

With any luck I'll be going into Computer Science at College this winter. If all goes well, my game development capabilites will be much better off than right now. Currently still trying to work on it, but perhaps I will even be able to call myself an honest to god Game Developer!

I'm a writer and musician. Both things suck in many ways and can feel like bashing your head against the wall. But the moments when you are writing and it is just flowing out of you, or someone comes up with a part and a song just forms itself as if by magic? That's the point. AI can't give you that

I have many thoughts on Skeletá. Too many to share here. Bland and Generic? Fuck no. Don't get why I keep hearing that. Weird as hell? New territory for Ghost? Absolutely. Still mulling it over, but I think it gets an 8/10 from me

They've been here before for Ultimate Tour Named Death when I first saw them (And in previous tours), but they only briefly touched down in Ontario and Quebec for the entirety of Imperatour

Korn and Gojira finally setup a commendable Canada tour. Tickets were stupidly expensive and it sold out in like two weeks. It's a hard time to be a concert lover in Canada

Nah nah nah, that's a lovely colour pallette, great composition, and there's so much mystery in the simplicity! Of course you've honed your craft, but you clearly started on a very strong foot. Be proud of your progress, but also be proud of what got you here!

I think smart phones + the general boom of "smart" technology is just. Diminishing returns at this point. Between Ghost's policy with the new shows and Eddy Burback's recent video, it's feeling like a good idea to disconnect more.

I cannot express how badly I want the Skeletour to come to Vancouver. It's been 6 years since I've gotten to see Ghost and I've been aching to see them again #ghost #thebandghost

Again. I don't want to take away anyone's enjoyment of the show. But I'd much rather get a fresh take by a passionate storyteller and fan of the source material than trying to salvage the mess that is the show. Just my two cents.

Nicky D and the Birds of Prey @dicnepper.bsky.social · 20/02/2025
On its own merits, it's just kind of a boring, messy, CW show. It sets up storylines only to abandon them, it focuses more on uninteresting drama and poorly established personal relationships rather than action and well executed worldbuilding. Its budget certainly doesn't do it any favours.

Nicky D and the Birds of Prey @dicnepper.bsky.social · 20/02/2025
An adaptation can serve two different audiences: Fans of the source, and people unfamiliar with the source. The Halo show, in my opinion, serves neither. It's a slap in the face to the lore and grossly misrepresents characters. It fundamentally misunderstands what people love about Halo.

Nicky D and the Birds of Prey @dicnepper.bsky.social · 20/02/2025
If you enjoy the Halo show that's great. I just think Halo fans deserve better.

So strange. I remember a time where Marvel/MCU seemed untouchable. Especially against DC movies. My how the tides seem to change. Brave New World is apparently hot garbage and the new Superman has me quite excited

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you. The effort is the point.
