All my #gamedev advice reduces to this: Make the best game that doesn't exist, in the spirit of the best games you've ever played.

True, it’s hoss-tastic. The only open world game where I stopped using fast-travel.

There's a Steam sale on Red Dead Redemption II, one of the most impressive (historical) games I've ever played and I've been gaming since Pong.
It has a superb historical world to explore.
20 euros is no money for this game, even if you just ride your horse around the place.

Talking to art director friend at a major studio. He reviews job applicants, mentions that his duties now entail identifying and eliminating AI art portfolios.

Frankly Carpenter gets a GOAT title for making The Thing alone but... filmography is nuts.

Bloody Romans.
Their empire is 600yrs in the grave yet they're *still* showing off.
Insufferable.

'VR needs better games now' this is true but then again it's never not true is it?
In my view lower prices of VR hardware is more important than better hardware. The hardware we already have is 'better' than the numbers who support it suggests.
Quote Tweet
The thing VR needs the most right now is better games and software, not better hardware.
VR will continue to plateau until that happens.

After sculpting Pinocchio, from Guillermo Del Toros beautiful version of the story, I felt like I had to sculpt Gepetto too. Took a bit longer and was more challenging than #Pinocchio, but here he is 😊

Goddamnit now T-Rex’s are also smart, thanks 2023!
Quote Tweet
It's officially news: T. rex had baboon-like numbers of brain neurons, which means it had what it takes to build tools, solve problems, and live up to 40 years, enough to build a culture! Paper is just out in J Comp Neurol. Reality was actually MORE terrifying than the movies!

In 1977, media prophet Marshall McLuhan discussed CIA and FBI surveillance, and then turned it into one of the most mind-bending riffs on identity in the digital age I've ever heard.

The problem with Brexit is not only that it’s unwise to cut yourself off from the trading arrangements that the rest of your continent enjoys - it’s also so difficult and costly to do that government has no time or money to do much else. And these difficulties aren’t going away.

As it's Christmas, which can in some ways be read as a refugee story, I'm going to re-up this thread from earlier this year which, to my surprise, went viral, at least by my standards and certainly more so than anything else I've ever tweeted.

When did it become a thing that there's something inherently unlikely about a young, single man being an asylum seeker? I can think of many reasons why they would be. I very rarely write about personal stuff on Twitter, but here is the brief story of my late father-in-law. 1/15
