Same, but I mainly use it to keep track of my own thoughts on movies I’ve watched haha.

These were from a second limited run from 2024. I had to cancel my original order from 2021 because GAME didn’t let me change my delivery address for some stupid reason lol.

Took quite a while but I finally received the @stalker2.bsky.social Collectors Edition!

Really wanted this in the collection!

likeness studies of Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol from Nirvanna the Band (the Show (the Movie))

finally learning to draw the Nirvanna the Band boys after fifteen-odd years of staring at their faces #ntbts

Excited!

I would do the very same!

Very excited for these features! Will make life so much easier!

This reminded me of the mundane materia discussion from this weeks crew cast and got me laughing to myself again hahah

WE GOT BAGELS! WOOO!

Congratulations! And eagerly awaiting the return of Big Game Hunger!

A good friend of mine has been working on a SICK PvP sci-fi warship game and has a demo out on Steam NOW! Go check it out!

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was fantastic! Less weird, experimental cinematography than the earlier film, but it’s way more focused. Also Samson rules.

Amazing stuff! Definitely a throwback to working on Brixelizer haha.

Looking forward to hearing more about your dev process on a new Jayne Dev maybe? Hope you have a great holiday!

This is such awful news. RIP.

I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

Tired of twitchy dogfighters? It's time to command something with weight. 🚀

In Warfleet Captains, you don't fly a fighter jet—you take direct command of massive Frigates, Destroyers, and Battleships.
This is tactical, heavy-metal fleet combat.

The post on using spatial hashing with raytraced ambient occlusion attracted quite a bit of interest so I expanded it into a blog post to discuss how it works behind the scenes to both reduce the noise and its cost. interplayoflight.wordpress.com/2025/11/23/s...

The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6 YouTube video by People Make Games

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
