Pet project: 1) Advanced PS1/N64 game extraction (+all animations). 2) Website where you can browse and compare models, textures, animations, FMVs, for preservation. Already have FF7, Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 and MediEvil fully ripped. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame #N64

literally this

Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something. Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.
Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work. Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it.

I think you are not only seeing Sharma's managerial style in these moves, but also the clear influence of people who have been desperate to treat game development as a spreadsheet venture for years at Xbox and are finally getting their chance.

On the eve of moving out of this apartment, I think I learned why the internet from this local ISP is so bad on my PC — looks like it only has enough throughput for like one major task? So if I'm updating a game on Steam, web pages will fail. If I'm on a Discord call, game update speeds tank.

I was being real sarcastic with this, but the big refactor I did around the save managers did in fact remove all of the massive frame rate drops whenever the auto save triggered, which is awesome.

Of all the things that interested me in that Nintendo Direct, I think new Mario Kart World rallies ranks at the top. I still play a round or two of Knockout Mode pretty much every day.

I have chopped and screwed my game's save data logic seven different ways to Sunday, but let's not forget what it's all for: a 0.05% increase in efficiency and ever so slightly more legible code.

The Watchmen show on HBO was so effing good, and I feel like it should be better regarded than it is. They took one of the greatest literary works of all time and made an equally momentous sequel in the form of a show, and we should talk about that more.

‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ director Dave Green has released a thank you letter on the film's opening day. “This is a celebration, it's proof that movies don't just go away. We make work so it can be seen and shared - that's the whole reason we do what we do.”

Update: even after we removed the entire sex quest, Steam mis-classifies Future? No Thanks! as pornography, making it invisible to most Steam users and completely geo-locked in Germany. We are currently at Gamescom in Cologne, everybody is asking us why they can't see the PAGE of a Teen rated game.

Geoff Keighley is sort of like the Trix rabbit but for videogames. I don’t know if he’s supposed to be funny or insightful or charismatic but he definitely loves the concept of advertising.

Just a reminder that the fascist reversing the progress of the 20th century includes the eradication of the idea of childhood for everyone outside the wealth class, which is relatively new, and the reintroduction of child labor. The signs were there for a while but it’s impossible to deny it now.

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.

See, this is why I think it's VITAL to differentiate the people making the games from the terrible corporate circumstances they're working under. The people actually doing the work are usually the coolest goddamn people you'll ever meet, fully in it for the love of the (video) game.
