Frozen Antlion Shack pics. This is coming together nicely. #HalfLife #Halflife2 #Gamedev #LevelDesign

Finally got around to watching Promising Young Woman. Cary Mulligan is great and THAT scene is crazy powerful cinema. Just jarring seeing Schmidt as a bad guy... Still highly recommended.

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

Why is it every #Ubisoft game I've ever played on PC is a performance disaster. I really like #StarWarsOutlaws but the framerate is all over the place. Even with the settings universally on low it's choppy as hell. Other modern titles like Indy run just fine on my rig with no need to tweak anything.

Chilling. DO NOT GO TO AMERICA. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

#CaptainAmerica #BraveNewWorld is shockingly poor to me and I say this as a huge fan of the previous Cap films and Anthony Mackie. It's just very poorly written and edited. It plods along with no tempo or tension. It doesn't make you care about any if the characters or what's at stake. Such a shame.

I keep waking at 5... wish i was actually useful at this time of the morning... now I'm going to be tired and grumpy for the rest of the day... and unproductive. grrrr

Inspired by @jim--partridge.bsky.social to delve into some blasts from the past! Starting with Great Heights, a three round payload map I developed in 2009 (eesh!) for Team Fortress 2. #GameDesign #LevelDesign #teamfortress

My creative drive took a stumble over the past few weeks but I changed my focus away from level design to D&D campaign prep... And now my level design creativity is back! Love it when you just need that spark to get the things flowing again...

God Ive missed the #WheelOfTime it's so good..

#Nvidia experience optimisation is terrible. Both Outlaws and Indy melted my PC after applying them.

RIP lil Zeke. He made a lot of noise and ate a lot of hay...

Does adult content in games annoy you? Have you ever played a game with adult content where it wasnt just titilation for 14 year olds? Has it ever been necessary/relevant?

What's that you say? A new high quality module for the best rpg ever made? Set in Fricken Icewind Dale!! SIGN ME UP!! #NeverwinterNights

Just found out that Gary Oldman is two days younger than Gary Numan... I give up.. Ffs...

... aaand finally we come to the end of 2024 and my #Left4Dead2 campaign Pier Pressure. I'd wanted to do a coastal campaign for a while and finally found the right set of ingredients. I may return to Polish this a little more this year. #GameDev #LevelDesign steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

Listened to some Charli XCX tracks. Sound like background music in a McDonald's... Incredibly bland. Not a fan.

Dry County was my 2024 #Left4Dead2 sandstorm campaign concept. Combining limited visibility exteriors with a rusty mining town. I really like this project and am glad it is played as widely as it is. Lt Rocky's model animation is stunning. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... #Gamedev #LevelDesign

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

#FridayConfessions I don't get the TV show #Seinfeld. I don't think it's funny. I also don't think Larry David is funny and I'm not sure why he's famous...

This #Superdrug tillside up selling is getting out of hand. 6 questions just to buy some aspirin...
