I’m gonna say something controversial as a Texas game dev…. But I’ve never really quite liked sweet tea? If I drink it it’s gotta have a lot of lemon in it.

You don't need AI to design UI. Use what you've got.

Is gta 6 really coming out? I feel like I can’t believe that isn’t some sort of April fools joke, like what’s next, Half life 3?

Game fact of the day: In the original Silent Hill (1999) for the PS1 the iconic fog/ash that blankets the town wasn’t just an artistic choice, it was a technical trick to hide the console's weak processing power.🌫

Harry mason in silent hill one stating “Probably a doghouse, though I'm not sure since there's no dog around.” As a dog flies towards him.
