Played this on PS Vita on a long plane trip and it was absolutely hilarious. Other folks kept looking at me as they tried to wind down for sleep. Can’t recommend it enough.

I bought Mark’s book and this follow-up discussion is great to hear! Worth checking out if you’re an entrepreneur with or without an engineering background.

Dug up by Jonny at GA, this look at the development of Namco's Metro-Cross (1985) is some of the BEST behind-the-scenes I've seen from this era. youtu.be/qoYlzQq9Eoc?... You get pixel art, music, and even showing an incomplete build! This is rare stuff.

The early Kraftwerk song “Ruckzuck” was used as the theme song for a local PBS science program shot at the University of Minnesota, Newton’s Apple, and it broke my 3-year-old brain. Kraftwerk is for the children! youtu.be/yUFc5QoMG1E?...

My new board book, “Elvira’s First Book of Monsters” is now available for preorder! It’s a spooky lil’ story-time for monster lovers of all ages! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/pinta...

For this piece, @drewgmackie.bsky.social requested documents from the Capcom v. Data East lawsuit from the National Archives in the US... and donated his copies to our library! Thanks Drew! archive.gamehistory.org/item/937b31e...

Becky does the lard’s good work in peeling back layers of technology history that she was hands-on keyboard for, and is key in preserving games with her crazily high-performance and high-accuracy emulation and code spelunking skills. she is the badass Captain Janeway in this ecosystem!

What do Thomas Pynchon, Star Trek, the GNU GPL, and mind-expanding 80's kid space action movie the Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the Eighth Dimension all have in common?

"game industry dead" doesn't mean "no more games ever", it means the networked machine that employs people to make cultural entertainment products for profit is no longer capable of performing basic functions. Working simultaneously in AAA & indie these last few years, this resonates.

The problem is not whether Americans only have three friends on average, but whether they have capacity to join another discord server.

Having fun with VisionOS hinges and anchors. I learned that anchored entities will not interact in the physics simulation, so a second object needs to be following the anchor on my finger tip, which then can be used to push things around #visionos #swiftui

Dunno if I've shared this one yet, but I made a React component to embed #Bluesky posts on my websites. It's basically a wrapper around the embed code you get from the share widget. gist.github.com/whoisryosuke...

If they bring Fortnite to Apple Vision Pro, I will do a backflip. Very exciting times!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a STUNNING video game from every freakin' angle. Narratively, graphically, musically - I am absolutely enamored. Between the incredible combat, wondrous map, rewarding exploration and lovable characters I can’t put it down. youtu.be/Ml9UEKOSGts

Is there any other kind?

a reminder that I'm still looking for work if anyone needs an engineer specialized in UI and 3D/graphics 👀 I did some pretty amazing (NDA) stuff at PlayStation, and my personal open source work is forward thinking too 🧠🔮✨
