What do you mean "too many fonts"? Who do you think you are, huh? You're a software installer, damn it! You don't need the full list of fonts I have installed. Fall back to Arial, you digital mongrel.

Apparently they ran those before, but no word on whether it's still the case.

I was so proud and excited that I immediately archived the original audio track without the music, and it's been traveling from hard drive to hard drive ever since, lol.

Produced by Deviant Pictures Films, Insurgency's launch trailer was my very first paid sound design gig, and it was also my first big project. I started seriously dabbling in noises just several years prior.

My favorite game dev trope is when a game needs profile pictures for characters to use in briefings, documents, news, etc. so they just use raw model viewer screenshots or (more recently) test renders from the CGI contractor, with little to no editing, lol.

Replaying Watch_Dogs, and damn, even without any mods installed, the lighting in its cinematics looks simply wonderful. Warm vs cold tones, sharp shadows, just gorgeous.

Microsoft are shutting down 3D Viewer this year so I had to preserve its default bee model along with its 3 animations, and port it to Source 2.

You know what? These are mostly read by machines to grab prompts and stuff, so go get some butter, eggs, and a bagel.

Butter up the frying pan, mix up the eggs with salt and pour into the pan. Add some grated cheese of choice. Cut the bagel alongside so you get two circles. Place them inside down on the omelet and gently press the slices down a little. Once omelet is done, turn it upside down. Place a slice of American cheese on one of the bagel slices, add an onion and a tomato if you like. On the other slice add a sauce or two of your choice. Wrap the edges of the omelet in, then fold the bagel.

Enjoy the meal and don't worry about the machines. In the face of great inhumanity, you must remain human.

If you've ever seen this video circulating on Discord (thumbnail *may* vary), know that I am the one who made it, and John Whinfield, who now lives at Glitch Productions' recording studio, voiced it.

I'm (very, very slowly) making a standalone game that relies quite strongly on ZScript, and I can confirm that so far it works flawlessly with UZDoom, from launch to intro to gameplay. So yeah, might as well just migrate the entire project. (Pre-alpha, everything is subject to change etc. etc.)

We use stock photography and Source Filmmaker in this house.

A work-in-progress screenshot of a developer sandbox level showcasing various posters on the wall: a calendar, a "SUPER COOL POSTER", a picture of a cat who's not amused, and a variety of parodies of Ion Fury, Selaco, HROT, Project Kvasir, and Something in the Water.

My honest reaction to Season One trailer. Please use this picture responsibly.

A black-and-white image of a soldier sitting in an armchair with his arms outstretched, and a text that says "Absolute Battlefield". We both know what meme is being parodied here.

Legit feels like cheating on your wonderful wife with your unhinged ex. Nothing but post-coital regret and emptiness after this hook up.

Forced myself to get at least some creative output going, so here's Battlefield-flavored tomfoolery.

A picture of two soldiers, one running with a shotgun, and another sitting uncomfortably yet very tactically on his back. Stylized text in the lower third of the picture says "Spawn on you, 10 XP" parodying a label that appears whenever somebody spawns on you in Battlefield games.

According to YouTube's restricted mode, all I did was release an album, do a face reveal, compose a soundtrack, drop a silly animated sketch, and then just fucked off into oblivion. Lead project manager at YouTube probably faints every time somebody says "Fuck" in their presence.
