The Battlefield section from EA's Investor's Day has started to generate sparks of hype for the new game. It'll certainly be different, because 98% of the people who made previous Battlefield games have left EA. Let me explain how DICE imploded and this new crew is trying to build things back up...

The actual "best" is SteamOS... cuz that's the first thing people will ask when buying one of these, can it run Steam OS? And on a side note, in windows 11 how do I stop the xbox bar from loading at boot? www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/243...

Finally got around to trying Pokemon TCG Pocket and if you like it good for you, im not the fun police, its a well game after all. But the game its just a void dopamine farm. Press Button, Get Reward, dont think, no time to think, thinking is complicated, press button, get reward.

It really seems like @ign.com should know enough about video games to not publish absolute garbage takes like this. www.ign.com/videos/yello...

Nooooooooooooo luigiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Every conservative columnist right now.

Emerald Green TH900Mk2. Amazing headphones with hand painted japanese urushi lacquer wooden cups. Only 100 got made in this color and i got the #21, which is the same date as me and my wife's anniversary.

I do not wish to be a lout but this is how 'Heroes' should be covered not with a choir and an air of reverence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J06y...

Any speaker of a language using Arabic script (Arabic, Persian, Kurdish, Pashto, Urdu, etc.) can provide feedback on this proposal to change #GodotEngine 's default Arabic font? See the before (left) and after (right) examples. github.com/godotengine/...

Ubisoft pulling the plug on XDefiant and closing the MULTIPLE studios involved feels utterly unhinged. It took TWO YEARS for Rainbow Six Siege to find its stride, and looked like it was going to fizzle out entirely in the first couple months. Multiplayer hits happen over time! You gotta commit!

I'm not saying I would do anything grand and noble if I were a Billionaire, but I am saying that whatever I did with the money would be a lot less sad and pathetic than this.

If i ever make a game that needs an inventory you bet your ass im making a tetris-style inventory. Its the peak of inventory systems and everything else its just an afterthought.

This made me chuckle. Perfection.

Great analysis from Ethan Gach on The Game Awards, and pure gold on Amazon near the end open.substack.com/pub/deadgame... #indiegamedev #videogames #thegameawards

What good alternatives there are to the "Inter" font for everyday usage? For monospaced ones the Jetbrains Mono is my favorite, even above Hack. But I don't have "the one" to use everywhere else in the System.

Morning folks. Hope your having a beautiful day. Have a bit of colour to your life for this fine morning. #conceptart #lookdev #productiondesigner #artdirection #conceptartist #colour #scifiart #space #future #alien #alienworlds

have not seen @destinythememe.bsky.social crosspost this yet and I need everyone to see it

Instead of selling my old PC im considering doing a teardown of my 1080Ti and framing it. Amazing card and, extremely likely, my last Nvidia GPU.

Oh hey, it's me.

Come on AMD don't lose your thunder now and announce the new RDNA GPUs too

Did you know that I actually designed *two* fonts for Blasphemous 2? One with less ornate uppercase letters was needed to improve the readability of some game menus. 📝 #pixelart #font #design

I kiiiinda think getting start-to-finish dev times back down under 4 years is an existential requirement for the AAA game industry
