Ever wondered how to store millions of call stacks efficiently? So did we. Many times.

Check out this new article by Jelle about designing a data structure to efficiently compress and store large amounts of call stack data!

First Big Box game I’ve acquired in a long time, making me feel all nostalgic!

@inklingwood.bsky.social’s Foolish Mortals

Really loved the episodic nature, worked really well to enhance the cliffhangers and leave it in my mind through the week too.

Shame that I feel certain larger games sites mostly ignored reviewing it because of that though (or seemingly barely covering it at all).

Finished @adhocstudio.com's Dispatch over the weekend. Very crowded year for incredible games, and this is currently topping the list for me!

But also just in general.

I mean yes, definitely compared to shop gherkins.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but homemade gherkins really are the best 👌

Second cinema trip this week.
Couldn’t decide between this and Predator, so why not both?

Alas, zero. I did say it was the polar opposite!

Really enjoyed Predator: Badlands.

I’m a huge fan of the original movie, and this was the polar opposite, but as a popcorn action blockbuster it was great fun.

Loving @adhocstudio.com ‘s Dispatch a lot, 5th episode down, kind of glad it’s episodic otherwise I’d be binging the whole thing in a night! Now straight onto the 6th.

Was so good, don’t think I ever saw the original in a cinema.

He enjoyed it too thankfully, so I don’t have to disown him… 😂

In order to get to the morphs we have in Keeper now I first experimented with different approaches. Here is one of the early tests in which "surflets" are used to transform from one to another mesh. I still love the "wiggly paths" during the transition.

With my anticipation of Dispatch and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 coming out this week I’d completely forgotten about Keeper being released.

Managed to play some tonight and loving it so far, @doublefine.com showing they’re the best at what they do!

Yes! Congrats on the demo release, looking forward to checking it out!

Steam Next Fest, aka 'please play the demo of the game I've been working on for what feels like forever'. Apologies for the number of links I'll probably be making to this this week. store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/...

Finally watched Weapons after hearing a lot of good things. Did not disappoint, loved it!

Very happy with my time in the Barns Green Half Marathon today, especially as my training has been quite erratic recently.

Managed to score PBs for all major distances from 5K to Half! 🙂

Oooo, this looks great!

Members of our Survival team enjoyed some inspiring learning sessions at #unrealfest Stockholm this week!

An illustration of a vintage-style space suit lodged in the ground with a wasted astronaut within. The skin has been stripped from their bones and only a bony skull is now visible. They are buried in the sand and the sky is red and threatening above them. This is the key art for The Invincible.

Don't overlook The Invincible on PlayStation Plus, it's a gorgeous sci-fi mystery that lingers long in the mind www.eurogamer.net/dont-overloo...

Yes!

Really enjoyed the demo for this, very hyped for the release of the first episodes!
