Great rec, I'll have to check it out! I think it was Osama himself that made me connect those dots. As much as we would have loved to eventually build a physical experience, we have so much more freedom and ability in making virtual ones that can defy all physics 💪

NO I SEE YOU 🎯💘

I was gonna call you out by name too but I was too shy to do more than one 🫣

Skeet 79 characters too long to be published so I screenshotted it so I could post it in it's entirety, reads: Anyone else grow up convinced that you wanted to be an Architect (eg. from The Sims) then after all the years of interest and exploration you did, you only find out when you're in the Architecture degree at Uni that it's not for you at all, to then realise one day years down the line that you actually wanted to build experiences not places, or is that just me and Osama Dorias?

(Actual answer: It's more likely than you think!)

Angus: I'd stake my life on there being a Cars spinoff for Mater.
Me: You can't stake your life like that, that's dangerous, it's gotta be things you are 100% certain of!

He was right there are two seasons 😵🛻

2Fort as Demo or Engie was my fav but I loved just fucking around as Scout too! Real nostalgia for the nice teams I got to be a part of when that happened 🥹

If this is what that format meant I feel SO BAD but also to be (briefly) thought of as someone who worked on a Pikmin game 🥺🥹🤩

BIG YEAR FOR GAMES!

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit

what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those

making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too

oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things?

seems important

YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

For those of you outside of Melbourne and Australia in the games industry. Parallels is one of the most positive and optomistic events for games, I come away from it every year thinking "huh video games are pretty good"

Awh thank you that's so cool 🥹🥹

Thank you! It's a nod to my favourite type of printer: the risograph!

idk if I ever shared but I'm really proud of my simple Freelancer website and will soon be ripping it up and building from actual scratch to host elsewhere since I don't need all the fancy capabilities sqsp offers after all www.meilicoolan.com

Me: I should do more art in my spare time; I enjoy it again and I'm not as out of it as I thought.
Slay the Spire mobile & the co-op board game: 🥺😚

It's such a great movie we're always trying to recommend but be like, "TRUST US"

And clean fingers! I mainly do this with bag chips when I'm gaming but I might expand that.

My Skellington suggestion made it in so quickly 😺

38°C heat in the middle of Spring sucks but fires all over SEQ, some of them sparked by lightning strikes and car faults? What is happening today?!
