Mitchell F. Wolfe

Unsure if this counts, but Linda3. Its PSX remake may or may not count as "surviving."

Young Cranky had big goals for himself

It's pretty fantastic. When I was at Respawn there was a studio-wide reverence for TF2 that went far beyond what you'd normally see for a studio's own games. It's special.

This skeet may be too specific for my demographic

Tier list of different radio edits of that one line in "Please Please Please" by Sabrina Carpenter:

S: "like the others"
A: "mother fucker"
B: *just hum that part*
C: "little sucker"
D: *silence*
F: *bleeps*

I was in 2nd grade too. It is me.

25 years since we released Banjo-Tooie! Have a boss-montage. Bosses are always the most fun to make. See how big and strong Mr Patch is!

Happy 25th anniversary to Banjo-Tooie, the game that made me want to be a game developer! That's a quarter century of Jamjars the Mole.

I'm in this giving a few quotes about K. Rool. Check it out!

Not to be too much of a Nintendo babe... But Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza both got snubbed for Best Score and Music? No matter how the rest of the awards go, those are very strange omissions imo.

I've also hated "Metroidbrainia" with a passion. Such a cool genre and such a terrible name. I've called these "world solvers" myself, but I love the break down of the different categories here.

A couple times!

This hasn't been a problem on bluesky so far, but just in case it gets as bad as when I was on Twitter:

I'm Mitchell Wolfe, the videogame developer. I am not Michael Wolff the Trump guy, nor Michelle Wolf the comedian. Please don't tag me angrily thinking you got the Trump guy!

Heroes gave us Outer Wilds, so we appreciate Heroes in this house.

I can't name myself Mitchell in Dragon Quest 11 because it has "hell" in it. That's too much.

Not seeing restaurants try as hard anymore now that the chicken sandwich wars are over. You never appreciate what you have until it's gone.

It's not something I ever need to think about, usually, but suddenly I'm very scared that I live on the coast.

I built my first self-built PC this week and I understand this product now in a way I probably could not before.

The Kongversation is a ridiculous show

Mayles is one of the best in the biz. I hope that one day my career looks even a small fraction as illustrious.

Last year, @wolfefm.bsky.social and I tried to break down the essence of what makes Gregg's games unique. While there will always be certain intangibles that you can't articulate, I think we did a pretty good job of getting to the heart of what makes him such a standout creative talent.

Nav mesh isn't building

I can immediately tell this is going to be one of those posts I think about for a long time

Thanks! And I think "ludography" would be the most fitting, probably. From "ludemes" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludeme

Quote tweeting this mainly for future reference. A lot of good newsletter recs in here.

There is one on the eastern edge of the map that made me question if I even like video games anymore. And then I 100%ed the game.

That's exactly the one I expected you meant.
