Storage unit guys buy a unit that apparently belonged to a game developer and find design docs, source disks, etc. No idea what the circumstances around this unit were, but just a reminder: if you think stuff "belongs in a museum" definitely try to do that sooner. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSa6...

Scrubbing through this video made me really sad. Imagine missing a storage unit payment and suddenly your entire career is stripped naked and splayed out butt naked for a few YouTube views before being parceled out. I'm not saying they did anything wrong, it's just deeply unsettling to think about.

Viktor Antonov of Half-Life 2 fame was an environment artist on this game. He studied architecture in university and his ability to build contemporary worlds is what got him the Valve gig. We talked about doing a Kingpin focused interview but he tragically passed a few months later. He was a gent.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Sadly my game preservation roundtable with @borman.bsky.social was rejected for GDC 2027, so there won't be a reunion for the wonderful folks who attended this year! I hope that despite this, similar roundtables continue to happen at other events as there is a lot to discuss together

You spend ten years of your life making a game, and then it gets shut down." - Matt from Alderon Games #StopKillingGames isn't about gamers vs. developers. Ubisoft killed the game they spent years building, and they couldn't play it either. Now they can.

People keep saying that "recomps are not emulation", then why do you need to overclock the emulated CPU to achieve 60FPS? I thought it's mostly native and it's not emulating the entire console 😎

Not gonna lie. The "Céline Dion" preservation method might be one of the best brainwaves I've ever had. - You keep one physical drive near. - You keep one physical drive at another location (far) - You use one cloud storage (wherever you are). - Don't be a Titanic!

That said, the amount of people who've said a wrong thing about the Internet Archive, and I take the time to engage and say "not true" and then they go "wtf r u" and I tell them and they go "irrelevant" is also more than zero. So, I don't know, stay in school kids

A really small, but still confusing number of people have said, with the confidence of a kid who's smoked two joints talking to a kid who has smoked one, that the Internet Archive either destroys books, or does this process and THEN destroys the books, and that's such a weird wrong fact to believe.
