The more I think about it, the more I understand the decision behind the OoT art direction: it’s really to sell the Switch 2 hardware isn’t it?

as a product (because that's how this Ocarina of Time remake should be analysed, as that's the intention behind remaking it it seems), I do want to see how this game feels compared to, say, the recent Resident Evil remakes.

I wrote "fresh" but it's not fresh lol, it's perhaps the opposite, as it looks exactly what people would expect. But the point stands: if it feels good to interact with for an audience that started playing games in the last 10 years, that's what matters to it, as a product ig

I guess this does fit what Ocarina of Time would look like if it were to come out in 2026 huh…! Feels pretty weird, not sure about some aspects of the updated design direction (Link's level of detail), but… as a product it looks and sounds exactly like what I expected.

I’m reading a lot about how hardware becomes more and more inaccessible from a consumer POV, alongside the downward spiral of Windows as an OS, but I do wonder how this impacts indie game development as well

Death of an estranged parent kind of feels like having to mourn the relationship a second time. I’m on my way to Friesland (for the uninitiated it’s a place with heart not fries), probably to see my father (and his side of the family) for the last time.

Just came across this post on my tt, where someone received a very concerning email asking for sources on a presentation they did. The fact that even 5 commenters believe this was a positive email thinking they did a good job prompting an LLM to do their work for them is insane man 😥

Email reading “Dear _____,
I'm going to be direct with you.
On Friday you presented market analysis that our partners in Singapore have been trying to articulate for three months. I don't say this lightly,our Singapore team has six analysts.
Two board members asked me separately who prepared your slides.
I told them I'd find out first.
I need to know exactly where that analysis came from before Monday's call with the client. This is not optional.”

Comments on the email from the previous image:
“my dumb ahh would have interpreted that email as a congratulations on such impressive work”

“is it not ?? I thought it was
congratulating her for being able to do something that the other analysts couldn't”

“lol yeah same so this is not good?”

“me too lol, l'd have said thanks”

More comments:
“not me thinking they were congratulating you”

“discredit Al and credit yourself tbh”

“This happened to me this week 😊”

Early next month I'm running the first "Video Game Story Sessions", with the first themed to trans games. Any trans game makers in Ireland/Dublin pls submit ya games and think about how you might play/structure it for an audience. Feel free to share with anyone else. forms.gle/hPNu5H8hdCVr...

Text: VIDEO GAME SESSIONS: Trans Defiance
We're putting together a short & casual show of trans game makers playing and reading their games for a small audience, and we want you!

Here's an example of llaura Dreamfeel doing something similar a ways back: https://youtu.be/4JR-I1CiKbs?t=3332 (and another at the start)

Your game/piece doesn't need to be new or have explicit trans themes, and you do not need to have done this before. Just think about how to give your game shape/journey.

You could
- do it like the above example, reading and playing,

- or you could have a few people with you act out the characters,

- you could do a live walkthrough of a part of your game with/without commentary,

- or you could play a scene accompanied by musicians,

- or you could even live code music. (not a game, but interactive and digital!)
