Oh shit, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper. There's no Vis Billy? You gotta be kidding me, I got boxes full of references to Billy!

Some programmers get upset how variable names are not descriptive enough or too long, which case they should use.

That's nothing. I nearly suffer breakdowns when one of my classes has a function called
"hud_update()" but another has "activate_something()". IS THE VERB FIRST OR LAST?

Man... starting with Episode 2, the Heretic Remaster looks more like a Heretic Remake.

Again, it's cool cause I appreciate the variety. But it's not cool cause they ship that as the default and the option to switch back is kinda hidden.
I hope Hexen got the same treatment cause THAT GAME NEEDS IT.

Fun fact: When I made Doki Doki Gravity Dive, I didn't really grasp the concept of inheritance just yet. I mean I just came from C, so it was a bit alien.

So you gotta understand, a lot of functions were copied and pasted, whole classes, scripts, so it got a little confusing.

Each time I play QUAKE, I spend an hour debugging why the music doesn't work until I realize that it does and it's just random noises.

According to FedEx I should get my Analogue3D by Friday.

I said it before and I'll say it again:
I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT.

Good Boy from @terribleposture.bsky.social is six players, has an instantly iconic and terrifying enemy, and funny looking characters- I don't think there's a better combo. The game is out for $7 in Early Access!

It's Thursday. So you know what that means! That's right! It's "Very Big Device"-day!

An easter egg? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within my video game?

I have to install Stellaris again. I always wanted to play a Robot race that eradicates the entire Galaxy... Never got around to it cause I feel bad and then play nice.

I was just told my Analogue3D has shipped.

Holy heck.

Each time I ask for advice with PC parts colleagues go "No wait a bit because there's soon that new GPU/GPU" or whatever and "no, prices are so high right now" acting as if prices aren't on a steady climb for what like 7, 8 years now?

My teacher said: History is written by the victors.

You know that's probably for the best cause if it was written by nerds, they'd have ported it to Rust by now.

Currently playing the Heretic Remaster cause it's one of the games I like to play near the end of the year. And since I played Heretic a billion times already, the Remaster is perfect - not just because of the new episodes but also the "gameplay improvements" Nightdive added.

It's baffling that we were able to define a sorta standard for how mouse movement translates to head look in FPS games (forward is up, backward is down) and then have an invert setting for those who want it.

But ...

I recently shared my thoughts on Silent Hill 2 Remake and how I like it for many reasons. Important for me is what a Remake adds to what already existed. I felt SH2 Remake did this well - but I was only halfway through. Now I just finished "Abstract Daddy" and... yeah my feelings weren't premature.

I still have not given up hope to see Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Remasters on Switch. We got the first game. And 4 will be out in less than 2 weeks. Feels off to not have 2 and 3 on the same system. But it's Nintendo, so I don't expect common sense here.

Just saw the title for a video essay "How Valve built the only good tech monopoly"

I swear to god, one day I'll snap.

There are no good monopolies.

That "Steam release" has replaced "PC release" should say as much. But people will defend the multi billion dollar companies.

Finished Star Trek: Prodigy and I didn't expect to feel all those things.

Wow.

Of the new Trek shows, it's one of the best. Might actually be my favorite. Usually a Trek show takes a season or two to find itself, but Prodigy gave it all from beginning to end.
