The new Wolfenstein games are fantastic, but yes they are very harsh and uncomfortable. There's a point to everything, but they're tough. I've never been much of a story-in-games person, skip cutscenes by default, etc. But th

Yes, I remember how happy I was when GOG was announced, that a digital store with that ethos would exist. It's a shame that it has since become soured like that for me.

In my experience it's becoming more and more widespread specifically in startups. I hope you're right and I'm just seeing the bad outliers.

That's becoming more and more widespread. It's idiotic and counterproductive but apparently companies love some fake sense of security.

Coffee added really nice and productive language features to what at the time still was a very primitive and simplistic Javascript. It also offered a different syntax to existing and new features. The first part was great and deserves credi

It is fine for art to be selfish and to be painful. Their act was one of the things that helped me understand that art is more than just being pretty and hard to craft. I think their bad reputation and fade into obscurity is a consequence o

My brother and I got a 1040ST in 1987 while we were still developing 8-bit games, because the PDS, a z80 game development tool, had been developed for PC and for ST, but not Amiga, and the PCs were/felt sort of clunky and expensive. It

Gemini Man was a poor movie, but it was really interesting how it tried to use and explore the opportunities offered by high frame rate. I'm 100% in the club of people who can barely look at 24fps pans on the big screen, and wish 48fps

Yes - and this can be AWESOME. In a deterministic engine, anything not affected by player input can be forecast accurately - by the computer, not the human user. For NBA Inside Drive 2000, I developed all the ball physics to be deterministi

I would say Ad Astra is filled to the brim with fantastic and implausible elements. The visual design is very realistic, and this contrast adds to the movie's sense of disconnect (which is great it you like it, and a movie killer if yo

Yay! One of the unexpected benefits of releasing a lot of source code for our work back then, is that we can now find it again on the internet [1] - most of it would have been (and was) lost otherwise :) [1] - https://hornet.org&
