Did you know that early versions of Shipbreaker looked a lot more like Citizen Sleeper (and vice versa)? Learn about the serendipitous similarities between each game and the ways they each explore labor and life under (space) capitalism: https://t.co/VUwFp7Cmws

This is really just a super early vibes check using placeholder assets — nothing I created myself, yet. Just wanted to mess around with Unreal landscapes, atmospherics, post-processing, and the retro look as a bit of vizdev!

Waking up early the past few months to teach myself Unreal, and am working on something... It's called Pastfinder. It's like if Nausicaa and Annihilation had a PSX-esque baby. You dive into a toxic rainforest teeming with alien life and scavenge ancient ruins.

Saw Romulus last night, finally. Really enjoyed it for the most part, but I'm dying for Alien to evolve a new plot structure. I wanna be scared again!

This was an obscenely fun side project to work on with @nerial and @devolverdigital! Go check it out!
Thanks to @stevenmessner (writing), @BretHudson (code) and @Jonroru (illustrations) for their work on the absolutely chaotic and wonderful https://t.co/CiKpKZh5HA, where you'll find gossip and explore some of the (dark) lore from The Crush House.

The best part about this article is it did so much traffic when I first published it that Future shouted it out in their corporation-wide newsletter.

Every time this article gets repromoted dudes come oozing out of the woodwork to be like "WhY DiDnT yOu RaTe ThE BoObs???" as if they've exposed some kind of hypocrisy underlying this simple truth: statue dicks are just way funnier.
Every penis in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, rated.

The Crush House arrives on August 9 and The Fizz is your best spot for gossip, fan theories, and sponsored content to cope with the launch. 🥤 https://t.co/iJ5ReCrBmu

Huge win for the developers at Blizzard (and Bethesda)! So happy for these teams -- and (hopefully) all the others that will be inspired to unionize as a result of this news.
The developers behind World of Warcraft, one of the world’s biggest and longest-running MMORPGs, have officially unionized. https://t.co/8izI6ZOqjQ

This is my first model where I didn't follow a tutorial or anything, and it feels fuckin' rad to take an empty square and transform it into this — even if it definitely is janky in spots.

PS1-style Sharps 1874 "Old Reliable" that I've been modeling in Blender for the past day or so. Texturing still needs a lot of love! Been spending my free time learning Unreal and Blender over the past few weeks... The game dev itch just wouldn't go away....

The right wing “we want free speech on campus” grift really fell apart when students started opposing genocide, didn’t it?

My toxic trait is that I make my family listen to JRPG soundtracks while eating breakfast every morning.

I am fascinated by games as vehicles for player-driven storytelling — and how those stories reflect, refract, and intersect the real world. So it was an honor to talk about that (and my career writing about these stories) on @BackPagePod. Go listen!!! https://t.co/A89cGAGhQc
