Paying $8 to certify my content as high quality would just be paying to lie to you, which I can't do in good conscience.

Hey #blocktober - here’s some stuff I worked on from the “Jeff” chapter in Half Life: Alyx. Beware: SPOILERS ahead. First up, some screenshots of the area where we train the player on how Jeff works. I referred to this area as the “training trench” throughout development.

While I’m seeing a bit of “Best Tweets Ever” discourse in my timeline, I have to offer up this one, which I think about almost literally every day of my life and will never stop thinking about even after I am dead

The music in Return to Monkey Island is so good. Love that we got 20+ minutes of new LeChuck-related stuff. Hope they do an official soundtrack.

It’s #ReturnToMonkeyIsland Music Sunday around these parts—give our 20-minute “LeShip” theme a listen in glorious MP3 format. remi.mojodb.com/music/LeShip.m

every time I discover an old website that is A. Still live in non-Internet Archive form, and B. Absolutely not updated since the late-'90s/early-'00s in any way, I feel like I've uncovered an archaeological object. Case in point: mealiticketband.com

Gyro controls may not be the most accurate for Trombone Champ, but they’re definitely the most fun!

There's a new way to get one of these lamps and it seems to actually work! All it took (I think?) was for Pizza Hut to bring them back in their marketing and in "Pizza Hut Classic" restaurants, and for their vendor to straight up list the lamps on Alibaba
Quote Tweet
Today, I received two brand-new Pizza Hut lamp shades direct from China. I'm going to hang them in my office. Project: PH LAMP complete!

Solidarity is fine too. The green color has always been great and that letter has always been dweeby as hell. But mostly I want a steak sandwich.

Seeing this letter makes me want to go back to San Rafael just to eat at Sol Food. Not out of solidarity, but out of Pavlovian response - I've seen that laminated letter so many times while waiting in line anticipating a good lunch.
Quote Tweet
You’ve got to live a restaurant that responds to getting a letter like this by laminating it and posting it in a special glass case right outside the front door. All hail #solfood!

The US version of Diddy Kong Racing contains an inaccessible Japanese language setting in the files. If the code is modified to activate it, it is revealed that all it does is replace text with the word "Japanese" in English.

Once this thought entered my brain, it’s come back to the surface every time I run out of free articles on a website.
Quote Tweet
When I see a reminder like this, I would love going back and seeing which articles I read this month. Do any publications include that in their reminder? I bet it would sometimes make me realize I value the publication more than I think, as a reader who arrives mostly via tweets.
