Yo I just want a fun game
A Bethesda director says he wants Fallout 5 to keep fans playing for 600 hours "An experience they can play for 200, 300, you know, 600 hours, because that's the kind of games we make" via Game Informer

Wrote a blog post for sharing to non-game developers about why game servers crash(generally) to at least shed some light on the issue that I see a lot of players complain about. Check it out! https://t.co/lgFkwpd994

After 2 years of planning it, because of getting laid off from Amazon Games I finally had some available time to work on it. 2 weeks later I finally have my own website! Only took me 10 years of working in games to finally have one! https://t.co/NNN7MKDig2

I legit thought I was in the minority for this approach, had no clue Bungie had this rule too for cinematics
A few of us at Bungie had an unspoken rule about Halo cinematics: Never make the player in the cinematic feel more "badass" than the actual game. We don't want players thinking "I wish that's how the game actually felt". Cinematics should serve the gameplay, not compete w it.

Just got laid off from Amazon Games San Diego(including like 99% of the studio), the team I worked with was incredible and I will miss all of them. If I had the opportunity to work with them again I would take it in a heartbeat!

It's these kinds of articles that reinforce why I'm not going back, every time I ask if I can go at work they say "We try to get a budget to send everybody, it's just too expensive. We'll consider it work hours if you wanna pay out of pocket though!" https://t.co/tpaWLlPqg9

GDC will undergo a revamp in 2026 as a ‘Festival of Gaming’…
I have decided I am never going back to GDC ever again, my main complaints are how expensive it is, the city its in is horrible and I would prefer a different city honestly, and they need to make the vault affordable.

Also, it goes without saying that muting or unfollowing our account will benefit both of us. We've never claimed to be anything else and I am vocal about it in the school website. There's no reason to waste your or (extremely worse) my time.

Time is a flat line unless your talking computers then it's sped up and slowed down oh no now it got refunded and now its rolling back and running time in parallel with real time with sync points in time to transfer one time to another

With the new Naked Gun being as funny as it is. I would honestly like for that but as a show. Just so I could have more Police Squad with Liam Neeson. I really loved the movie

I hate how NVIDIA has a strong grip on the graphics card industry, they've been releasing super buggy drivers with memory leaks that have caused so many issues. Their QA is going down the drain and I don't blame their QA team for this
