So I did that 9 games thing I've seen people posting, here's mine. It was actually a struggle to come up with 9, the only ones I'm really sure about are the first 4. 😅 Most games I don't think had nearly as big of an impact on me

The Secret of Monkey Island, Age of Empires II, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Portal, Battletoads/Double Dragon, Fallout: New Vegas, Psychonauts, Kerbal Space Program, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Update on my #netbsd sidequest. I tried installing it on a newer machine and I can't get the gpu drivers to work (AMD iGPU) 😔. This does kinda feel like linux 10 years ago. But I don't know if that's all bad? Yeah not being able to get your gpu working is bad. But tech didn't feel as bad then...

Decided to investigate NetBSD today. Since Linus has decided to slopify the Linux kernel, I figured I might mess around to see if netbsd, which explicitly does not allow AI generated code is a viable alternative. After installing it and playing around, the answer is ... maybe?

Yeah, this tracks: terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a... The point of a mathematical proof isn't pooping out a yes/no, it's about understanding the process by which you came to the solution and what it means for work you do on top of it.

While making this octopus I used a geometry node setup to duplicate each tentacle. Because they all share the same UV space, I only need unique texture for half of a single tentacle! Hopefully this saves some GPU memory in these troubled times 🥲 #blender3d #indiegamedev #gamedev

Damn this is super, interesting. As someone who doesn't use genAI in my game I'm glad it means I legally own my stuff, where if you had used AI, that may not be the case.

My Sega Dreamcast game looks pretty cool on a CRT. I was testing this level on LCD screens previously and seeing it on a CRT for the first time really amazed me.
