Wallace and Gromit built this in a basement! On a bank holiday weekend!

Still from Iron Man, with Obediah Stane yelling 'Tony Stark Built this in a cave! With a box of scraps!'

The text reads: "House of Leaves is about a descent into madness involving a structure that seems to endlessly expand, change and defy rationality, which makes it exactly the same as that game you've been working on"
The word House and the word game are written in blue.

Me as a diehard Oblivion fan

The 'holy shit, two cakes!' meme, but the two cakes text is replaced by 'Two Oblivion Remakes', in reference to the recent Oblivion remake leaks and the upcoming Skyblivion 2025 release date

I have spent what feels like half an eternity backporting enough modern UE4 to get an ancient (pre-PS5) UE4 version to package for PS5, and today it finally spat out a package.

This week I pranked my run club with this mockumentary about an attempt to beat the local trail challenge record. Video format doesn't work well on bsky but here it is - THE BIG SKIP

Looked at a steamworks changelog for a demo, saw an unknown account had made a change, panicked. Changelog showed it was done by Valve based on a request we made a while back. Checked the account name again. It was Isaac Kleiner. Dr. Kleiner.

Video posts are here! So here's my finish of a (hilly, rainy, boggy, windy) 47 mile Ultramarathon around Lake Windermere from yesterday! Hardest thing I've ever done.
