Really enjoying "The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy". SRPG's are probably my favorite genre, and they did a great job with this one. Well balanced combat, and the story stuff just gets better as it goes along. I highly recommend it!

Sad to hear that TCE is closing down next month. Been a member for almost 20 years. End of an era. 😢

Probably the most boring England group stage I've ever seen at a major tournament. We're through, but 🥱😴. Like watching paint dry. #EURO2024.

Was a pleasure to work with the great folks at Sledgehammer on #MWIII. My daughter and I got in the credits! 🥳

Finally closed! 🙂 Now officially part of Microsoft! 🥳.

Result!.

I don't think I really cared about the "blue ticks" at the top of replies here when that first happened. I rarely see any on gamedev threads. But now they are all over @fesshole, and it's makes me sad. Weird Crypto young yanks who don't understand the jokes, farming engagement.

Pour one out for E3. 😢My comments in the thread still stand. The "Summer Game Fest" ain't it; at least for LA devs, good luck getting an invite to that. It's equiv to the press streams E3 did, and I'm guessing unlikely to ever be the broader hands-on conference that E3 was?.

I used to visit a friend in Mountain View, CA. He worked at Google; that whole area felt like the same concept. Shades of "Vivarium" with the residential areas, and a downtown where seemingly any random you'd have a conversation with, also worked at Google. Eerie stuff.

Bought this onesie last year, and our daughter Isobel finally fits in it now! . and somewhat related, she also got patched into the credits of MWII. 👶😁

Anyhow, I realize that the "hot take" I'm commenting on is largely from punters and not devs. but still. I just get sad at the seeming glee some folks have over this last little bit of LA gamedev culture that is going to disappear. 😢.

At E3 I get to see potentially dozens of people I used to work with, in downtown LA. Always fun. "The Game Awards". I've worked at three studios over 20 years, I know two people who have ever been. It's not a "dev" event, IMHO. At least the devs that go are a select tiny few.

It makes me sad how so many seem oddly happy that E3 is dying. And then of all things champion "The Game Awards" as a replacement.

The Elvis reference reminded me of someone I'd met a few times, who dropped a similar comment. Just Googled her name and Elvis:. So I guess it was true. :) Also nice to hear she is able to enjoy retirement now, really interesting lady to chat with!.
