I've been trying out the Meta Ray-Ban Smart glasses over the past week. By far the best Bluetooth headphones I've ever owned. The sound quality is impressive but they're so personal and open-ear. The battery life is fine. The camera is fun and practical but the quality is fine. Needs more AR!

An early version of a Sega Saturn game was secretly featured in Mallrats! Kevin Smith and his production team were swindled by Sega who lied about a cross promotion that would never happen.

I'm gonna flog this dead horse, but Half Life 2 is free on Steam today. If you haven't played it, PLAY IT. And if you care about games or game dev at all, play it again with dev. commentary on. It's a masterclass and you will learn so many vital things. store.steampowered.com/app/220/Half...

I need to record some new AR footage but thought I'd at least bring this prototype footage over from the bird app. I'm working on a game, OverRuin, blending MMORPG gameplay with the real world. I'm using AR + GPS + Open Street Maps to spawn encounters all over the planet! Here I am on a loot run:

I hope non-game devs understand how harder game dev, especially #IndieGameDev, has become in 2024. 🚀 We're Kickstarting Bitter Silver b/c we're trying to make a personal #indiegame love letter to Cowboy Bebop & there's no other way. 😸 Follow our Kickstarter (link in our bio) to help us out.

Working a day job to pay for game dev at night is a lot more common than I thought. Jacky, Trent, Luca and everyone else at Gentleland, are guiding me to bring my dream to reality. The past 6 months have been tough but I'm starting to generate income and I'm PUMPED 🤘🔥 Reach out to them!

If you’re a dev or are interested in game dev I’d highly highly recommend you play/experience The Making of Karateka. It’s so interesting! Playing through all the in progress builds as well as the modern reimagined games was a lot of fun too. www.digitaleclipse.com/games/karateka
