“Kimbal, Elon, come eat your cuboid nutrient serving!”

We live in stupid hell.

I drew glyphs to represent some of the main mechanics in Alan Wake discussed in my latest video. Scaled to size, they were way too busy and were simplified before the final release. But I really like how the original flashlight visual turned out:

This is unproductive. This is just blatantly revealing that they have zero ideas and are making zero effort to have any. They're just looking for something to do. This is the equivalent of playing with your dick in public.

Making Of: the cash tornado sequence in my latest essay, The Final Author (now on youtube!). As mentioned, super inspired by the folks at @ilmvfx.bsky.social for their work on Twister. Really cool what @blender.org empowers creators to do, something I've dreamed of since I was a kid.

A new GamesRadar article reveals new details about the upcoming Star Wars Galactic Racer (coming this year!)

@fusegames.bsky.social CEO and co-founder Matt Webster says “You can’t really make a Star Wars racing experience and not have Podracing, can you?”

And what have y'all done today to show your favorite games you love them?
Today's project, soldering a 1/8" audio jack onto a spare ps1 controller board so I can use generic sewing machine and drum machine pedals for Time Crisis on PS1

Google's new AI 'world model' has seemingly spooked videogame investors, but it's hard to know what it will actually lead to
Can auto-generated "worlds" really be exciting?

The last of adobe has been wiped off my computer. I gotta say, its been rough having essentials in my creative toolbox wilt from increasing corporate fuckery the last few years, but my new workflow felt a bit easier today. I didn't have to google anything to finish a quick edit. What a huge relief.

When money is the exclusive motivation, everything else becomes as fake as it is.
Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

Wow I shoulda upgraded visual studio a long time ago. The new intellisense is scary good. I went to go declare a new variable and "you should go pee" popped up.

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

I’m without power, but don’t worry I have enough soup and 1991’s The Addams Family motion picture downloaded on my phone to last me at least five days. A week if I stop before the ending and start over.

Hey, sorry, this is very important to me. A very good friend of mine has just informed me his partner was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer, and is undergoing treatment. They have a GoFundMe to help pay for the expenses. Please, if you are able to, please help them out.

Working on a behind the scenes video for channel supporters/ social media clips (stay tuned!) and it just hit me how many digital flashlight beams there are. Like all of them. Tracked by hand in blender. Tedious? Sure. Great for catching up on audio books? Absolutely.

Jedi Survivor is so good. I think it would be so good+ if we could customize Cal’s lightsaber and kyber crystal before the opening scene. I just want the continuity from fallen order.

Looking for movie/TV recs, pals. I like giant monster stories that's a bit mind-fucky/ mysterious/ esoteric. Ex: The Mist, Cloverfield and 10 CL, even Arrival. Battle is fine, but not necessarily looking for Pacific Rim or Evangelion-like stuff. Near hopeless and unknowable is my happy place lol.
