Between reconnecting with peers, giving a talk on our journey with BattleTabs, and enjoying Kölsch, some reflections from Gamescom 2025: thebrandonwu.substack.com/p/passion-pe...

I've been printing custom D&D miniatures for a campaign I was DMing. Pretty new to 3D printing but decided to share the models! You can find them here: makerworld.com/en/@thebrand...

This thing rocks. I one-shoted making a Meetup clone (anyone else tired of the ads and non-stop monetisation on Meetup?!). Going from a prompt to a working web app deployed with database in a few minutes... Great stuff! 👏👏👏

I went through the same thing! MCP+Claude does only half the job. What ended up working much better is to do this with an IDE+Agent (I used CLINE), and ask it to directly interact with the Bluesky SDK with code.

For now, I think I'd use MCPs for analysis/desicions, and leave executions to code

Testing @augmentcode.com this afternoon, and so far it seems to be better at understanding issues and thinking through them. Still early days but I am liking it. It's UI is also much more organised and easy to understand what's going on. Pros to the team!

Microsoft's Muse AI model for generating video based on user input (for games) now has a tech demo based on Quake II you can try. (link: copilot.microsoft.com/wham)

Here's my #letsplay video (2x speed). Quick notes in thread:

If you liked the idea of Claude Code but want to try a free, Gemini powered version, check out Gemini Code (by an ex-Googler who made NotebookLM) blossom-tarsier-434.notion.site/Gemini-Code-...

I spent the entire morning reviewing a number assets from the Unity Asset Store for a 3rd person shooter controller + camera, and ended up finding a great FREE option inside Unity's Cinemachine — inside the 3D samples folder "ThirdPersonWithAimMode"!

Blender MCP test - I asked it to create a d20 dice, and specified a color.

It created the model, added the numbers, created a metalic material, AND added an animation. I was not prepared to be this impressed. All done in code.

Give it a try here: github.com/ahujasid/ble...
