Just finished “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” It’s a surreal book to read when you are a part of the games industry. Especially, how well I know the Boston scene. Overall, a great character novel. Personally, I took some psychic damage reading it.

Good article with me being candid about how Owlchemy has evolved and how I think about VR

There are weeks where I spend my days trying to unwedge myself out of a meeting singularity. It’s somewhat inevitable, but always stressful. Takes concerted effort to get space back in my schedule, but always worth it.

You don’t need $200M+ budgets to make a masterpiece: 💰 Helldivers 2 – $50-100M 💰 Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 – $40M 💰 Ghost of Tsushima – $60M 💰 Avowed – $70M Smart spending, great results.

The other site is getting real dark. Just people posting “we’re racist now and it’s your fault”. Wild concept. I feel like the pendulum is going to swing back hard at some point and these people will not be treated kindly.

This is an EXCELLENT writeup about the state of the VR segment, with really insightful comments from one of my favorite people (@buddingmonkey.bsky.social). The outlook isn't great, and in large part that seems due to Meta's own overestimation and over-spend on the Metaverse. Read this now.

Chat is an awful UI paradigm for many things! Code included Many (most) people are not creative enough to be left with a totally blank prompt and be productive. danieldelaney.net/chat/

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

Doing interviews about the future of XR and how great things could be feels so silly in the face of everything that’s happening. “We could have a true spectrum of immersion if developers embrace… what’s that? We don’t have a democracy anymore?”

This is the worst I’ve ever seen the global game jam site. It’s dead dead.

I need to rewire my muscle memory to come to blue sky first. Every reply in the other place is a Nazi convention.

Was thinking this AM about preparing for any ICE raids or other harassment in process and what I would do. So I found this guide on Bystander Intervention from @righttobe.bsky.social very helpful, with tips from every angle. Only takes a few minutes to read through! righttobe.org/guides/bysta...

If you send me an answer from an AI instead of using a search engine I’m going to assume you’re a moron.

So you get to sin without any pushback as long as you get to donate your wealth to *any* charity?!? This deal sucks for the general public. No wonder he’s pissed. He’s taking the piss.

The internet feels like it's falling apart - but you can help fix it by adding your own humanity to it and hosting a website or blog. I found a neat, free workflow for a static site/blog that everyone should try! youtu.be/hk8g454nHu0

I tried to step away from Balatro so I could finish Dave the Diver. Why am I playing a slow Balatro with sea people? Can I ever escape this event horizon?
