In my final day of preparation for the Big Sand live show. Everything’s coming together exactly when it always would, the last minute.

One of the cool parts of this show is that the Unreal project is controlled with Open Sound Control, so all of the show cues are technically midi notes that can be triggered through the rest of our audio setup.

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...

I've been working with my friend on a live show for a virtual band at the end of this month. This video goes into the fancy cameras, Unreal trickery, and puppetry that makes up the show.

"250x bigger and lost" is pretty insane. Imagine 250 Steam competitors all spinning their wheels
And it's not like the labor is crap. It's not like thousands and thousands of people did their job wrong
They had shit captains who will experience no repercussions for Shadow Realming billions of $$$

Another reminder that almost every games executive is a fucking idiot who doesn’t understand the industry at all.
I don’t wanna get all ‘let gamers make games’ or anything, but it’d be nice if those in charge of the livelihood of thousands of employees actually had any idea what they were making.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

As Zohran has pointed out, these NYC billionares have already spent waaaaaaay more on attack ads against him than he ever would have taxed them in four years.
They're trying to apply the classic conservative tactic of "I am willing to hurt myself to hurt someone I don't like more." but trying to make it appeal to the left by targeting rich people, and it just seems so fucking stupid because it's obvious that rich people dgaf about bus fare.

Waypoint Constellations this year was something special. It’s at that sweet spot where they’re able to find talented speakers from across the state, but keep the energy tight knit and the talks uniquely weird.
Last night wasn’t just a night about games, it was truly about the people making them ✨

It’s been an amazing week - an exhausting week. Take a moment to congratulate yourself on making it through.
It’s also important that we listen to our bodies coming away from these events. If it’s telling you that you need to faint and cough up blood, give yourself the patience and space to do so.

I’m genuinely impressed just how smooth the #paxaus evacuation was for a 20k+ person event. Good work everyone, especially all those poor cosplayers in stilts navigating down those ramps.

Highlight of my GCAP this year was getting to hear from the great @jesawyer.bsky.social, who flew half way around the world and fought jet lag to excitedly answer all our game design questions!

I haven’t finished Silksong yet, but I’m fairly confident that the Clockwork Dancers will be my favourite boss fight in a game full of great fights.
