Watched Luca for the 100th time with my son, are there any cozy games out there that share the same vibe? Fishing, pasta eating and sea monsters haha #cozygames #gaming #disney

Well that's it. I've done it. I've finally done it. The Labyrinth At The End Of Time is now listed on Steam! I made a kick ass new trailer for it and everything! Check out the trailer below or in better quality on Steam - and then wishlist it while there! store.steampowered.com/app/4793030/...

It took a long time compared to the other 3 (baby, new job, having to move due to flood lol) but I finally beat Final Fantasy IV! Was a great seeing the change in story telling from the entries before. Currently my favorite of the 4 so far! Now onto Final Fantasy V #gaming #jrpg #snes

I owe Howard Shore a big thanks, the amount of times I listen to the LOTR soundtrack while working has become countless.

Thanks! Yeah it was chaos and we lost a few personal items to water damage. But the new place and area we’re living in is perfect so it’ll all be worth it in the end.

After 3 weeks since my apartment was flooded and we had to move the family out. I’ve officially moved into my little townhouse. Now to spend the day setting up my office space. Everything’s coming up Milhouse!

My former boss wrote a recommendation on my LinkedIn. You should hire me (if you can)
Alex was the backbone of our quality assurance at [REDACTED] for several years. He led our testing processes by creating test plans, executing them, and above all pushing hard for us to maintain high quality. He gave his honest recommendations on which bugs should be fixed before release. We valued his assessments and came to rely on them, knowing he was pushing us to make our games the best possible. His kind nature shone through in all his communications. Any company would be lucky to have Alex on their team. He will make your team better.

Welp, last weekend, woke up to alarms going off and water filling the entirety of our apartment. Had to take my family/dogs in the middle of the night to my parents home to stay. Just found out the damage will require full renos and we’ll need to move all our stuff to a temp unit for the time being

Sorry to hear man, I’ll keep an eye out if any opportunities show up and pass them along. It’s rough out here but not impossible.

I totally thought the packaging for this frozen ramen was AI generated and a Lego man pattern was randomly in the carrots. Turns out, no it was all real. My mistake, I wasn’t familiar with your game. lol It’s a miso butter I believe? #ramen

Recently, I did a quick playthrough of Earthbound to completion. Still holds up great, outside of maybe the worst item inventory management controls lol. I've never played Mother 3 ... so what's the recommended way of playing it? #videogames #nintendo

One of my goto playthroughs during the holiday break is Final Fantasy X. Not really sure why, just a nostalgic and cozy play for me over the years. What's your game you dust off each year if you're able to? #games #gaming #gamesky

For work, I was given the task of playing and beating Link's Awakening. Finished it in roughly 2 days, was a little strange playing through a Zelda game during work hours haha. I really enjoyed my time with the game, very charming with a bit of a somber ending. Majora's is still my favorite tho!

The Cabin in the Woods holds up so well! Going through our long list of horror films leading up to Halloween. Definitely one of my favourites to put on, almost like a cozy horror/satire. Just all around a fun time! Let the couple of weeks of spooky begin! 👻 #movies #horror #halloween

Finally finished my playthrough of Final Fantasy 3! The job system was pretty cool, would love to replay sometime with a different team makeup. Probably my favourite of the first 3. But now it’s time to start FF4! Been looking forward to this! First of the SNES ones! #gaming #jrpg #snes

If possible, I try to do in engine renders, unless the art style doesn’t lend itself to much of a difference. I don’t yet have much experience with Unreal with this, tho I should soon haha. But this might help: dev.epicgames.com/documentatio... Specifically the high res console command

Yeah! A good soundtrack really helps make a game memorable. But also it’ll drive more people into checking out the band, so win, win!

Perfect is the enemy of good anyways lol, it’ll be good to have a little dev break and watch a bunch of strangers play / break the game 😀 and hop back on with those new observations

I remember in the unity projects, after having to nuke the library folder it would take 40min to open up for the first time. I’d just go for a walk to get a coffee lol. Something Godot really seems to shine at is opening up without awful friction. Unreal is hit or miss depending but I get it lol

Stu @stuwallinger.bsky.social · 15/09/2025
Exciting! I’m sure the showcase will go great. Must be nice to have the goals checked off instead of rushing to the end lol

Developers developers developers.. You’re probably not far off lol That and I don’t think they’ve really changed Excel all that much in years

Stu @stuwallinger.bsky.social · 12/09/2025
I'll always be impressed with how good and powerful Excel is as a piece of software and how terrible almost every other Microsoft product has become over the years. (Glares at Outlook)
