iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I think I like S3 and S4 more? Might be because I like the setups for those seasons more. I do enjoy S1 and S2. And I inhaled that Neagley show in like two days.

I think most of these seasons don't rise above the level of "fine." That said, give me ten more.

Feel this. We're 6 years into our game, and while the difference when compared to the early prototype is night and day, now the things that need polish and will make the game sing are like glaringly obvious.

I maaaaay have been a bit distracted this month and maaaay have forgotten to put out a post after we published this announcement, but happy to say that we decided on a final name for Project Lexa, which is now Lexa!

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.

I think the only thing I've seen that opening credit for is the Uncharted movie? And that's first party, so curious why this got it.

Feel like, if your infrastructure can't handle two simultaneous, internet-enabled tasks in 2026, maybe you shouldn't be in the Internet Business?

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.

Felix, this is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever heard. I’m glad you’re feeling better though!

That’s what the masks are for, Fred.

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.

Was it Olive Garden that did Andes mints with the check? As a kid, I thought that was so decadent. We also had a Mexican place in my hometown that would upcharge you for an after dinner York Peppermint Patty.

Also, like Experiences can't be measured solely in the time you spent experiencing them! Allow yourself to be a complex creature that weights multiple aspects of something in how it affects you.

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.
