iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

As a millennial a lot of slang already flies over my head, but it seems everyone is the world is either cooking or cooked. Where’s all the ppl who are just … chilling?

I need to grab some Godot stickers.

Of course I grabbed a bunch of stickers I had around to put on my Steam Machine, that’s part of the use.

Interview I gave for a Polish website about QoD Switch 2 launch, it's been so long that my most recent "not that bad" photo was from the Wii U

I don’t think the majority of people in the world understand how damaging this is, and I’m not simply talking about sites not getting the direct traffic, effectively all that reaches them is already filtered, parsed and charged to them by a third party

Several studio merges here if I get this right. Activision developing Halo on a new separate team, Bethesda absorbing (?) Obsidian, Playground and Turn 10 into one studio.

Sounds silly and hard to describe these days, but when I started playing games decades ago a simple background moving when you reach edges on a point n click adventure was a great feeling, after the 1 screen scenarios.

I imagine between release of DX1 and DirectX 9 these were breakneck speed to pack in features every year, but with DX9 release it had a big impact in gamedev and became a standard. There are still hundreds of games today running on DX9 on latest Window versions.

Because of that “you can see everything” trailer that was circulating a few days ago, I was curious about who the reporter was, discovered Nathan For You tv show and this is brilliant, already on 3rd season. Top tier comedy.

We want to tell this story bit, but it's been a while since the player pressed anything... QUICK TIME EVENT!! now, where were we...? ah yes, about the giant squid!

I had this idea the other day. Someone creates a steam game that just plays the Rick Astley rickrolling video, we funnel up all fake key requests to that “game”. Kinda tempted to see how many would end up in gray markets.

in case you are interested how Valve optimized and made Half-Life Alyx run natively on Steam Frame, foveated rendering etc, this video has a cool interview with Robin Walker and Autumn Ashton starting at around minute 27m. youtu.be/IwELiBZpQw4...

From the outside, rendering optimization can look a little bit like black magic. That's why @clayjohn.bsky.social, lead maintainer of the rendering team, is here to show a few examples of some optimizations from this year to highlight that optimizing rendering code isn’t as scary as it sounds.

I'm pleased to announce that around 200 pages' worth of tutorial resources are coming to the Game UI Database for FREE via a brand new blog. No ads. No paywalls. No email signups. Here's a preview of the first piece dropping next week, all about crafting cross-platform control schemes and layouts!

This is why I don’t recommend movies more often, just saw Devil’s Mouth, solid B movie horror, above average I’d say; flawed sure but I was entertained the whole time. Checked ratings after and 4.7 on iMDB and 14% on Rotten. I might have terrible taste.

lmao I’m so dumb I thought it was called “StarCraft 2030”, you know, like Warhammer 40000, not that it was the release year, that’s 4 years away, weird marketing strategy.

Nintendo is doing well right now while XBOX and PlayStation are going through a rough patch (a 180 from 10y ago), but make no mistake, this is bad news for everyone, developers and players, no matter what system you use. The 3 ecosystems gain from the other ones being healthy.

I’m super excited about Ocarina of Time Remake and not only about the game itself. I think Nintendo might be also testing the waters with younger generation of players to maybe return to traditional dungeons, less open world as their next Zelda games direction. I really hope so.

I must have hundreds of hours on Diablo 1,2 and 3 combined, but somehow kept postponing playing D4 to later when I could find some time, to the point they announced Diablo 5. Ouch
