A lot of air quality sensors can't detect certain chemicals or dust below a certain size. During the LA fires, a lot of sensors showed healthy air when it was actually very unsafe to breathe.

Hey Tom, I have a position you might be interested in at my company. Would you like to DM me?

Apple is delisting Wheels of Aurelia from the App Store, because it's... "obsolete". Our statement:

Get this game. My indie game of the year so far, the atmosphere is incredible.

I use the heart hat in duck game for a reason

before I forget, here's some art I made in Quake

Ode to a Pre-Alpha Test: behold: a bright red door clearly marked EXIT above it, flickering, a fluorescent bulb (recently added) framed in the doorway your npc companion waving, pointing barks “hey look, the exit” it’s been (the longest) 17 minutes you still haven't found it

in regards to yellow paint:

It is a cold sunrise or sunset over a vast swathe of mountains. A giant figure looms in the distance, walking away with curiosity. Its hair rises up behind altostratus clouds. This seems like the herald of something catastrophic.

A massive inverted pyramid glows a muted gold amongst shelf clouds in an unknown setting. Tiny lambent beings float and stick to its surface as tendrils that are shaped like digital lighting emerge from the pyramid's point and extend past the frame. Is it collecting souls or releasing them?

A massive hand reaches from the darkness to collect the sun. Its bones are visible within the subsurface lighting. This hand has always been misgendered as fables go.

Above a frozen mountain shrouded in clouds the smallest glimpse of a head can be seen. Lightning crackles in the cloud that would be positioned by its nose. No features can be made out, save for the feeling that now you'll never be released from its view.

ancient and massive sky entities

Wow, I'm in love with the 3 obelisks image and the inverted pyramids vignette. Stunning!

The struggle is real.

Season 2 of PSG after 15 years is absolutely insane, like the Half Life 3 of anime. Feels surreal af.

I don't play CS much, but I love to watch it. The recent major in Shanghai was crazy hype, even if you're not usually into competitive fps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv7e...

A white sports car is parked on a tennis court in front of four palm trees and a flat blue ocean.

The skycraper city lights of a city on the far shore of an ocean inlet are reflected in the ocean, under a gray sky. A tall tree is visible on the near shore, but nothing else on that shore can be seen.

A yellow towel sits on a diving board above a pool, with a lawn, bushes, palm tree, and ocean in the background.

A record store sits beside a few trees, in front of an ocean and a gradient orange sky.

Forgot Santacon was today, I was wondering why there was an army of Santas outside my apartment building.

This happens to me a lot too. Pretty sure it's from shitty custom servers they get matched into. But we get the blame 🥲

A list of video games: NaissanceE, Anatomy, Paratopic, No One Lives Under the Lighthouse, Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk, Slide in the Woods, Rojo: A Spanish Horror Experience, Iron Lung, Growing My Grandpa!, Teleforum, Bad Parenting, Funeralopolis: Last Days, Mouthwashing, Threshold.

Is this something? Short, narrative-heavy, experimental, existencial horror games with an strong visual identity... Need more of these!

10/10 game, get this.

This is kind of the crux of why none of these huge tech companies could figure out how to make games. They see it as a technology problem, but when a lot of what makes a great game great is an Arts and Humanities journey

Motion-capture workers at the company behind NBA 2K have unionized with @iatse.bsky.social.

This is the first successful union push at a motion capture studio in the video game industry.

The new union includes stage technicians, engineers, animators, and recording and audio specialists.

YouTube video by Power Pak MyHouse.WAD - Inside Doom's Most Terrifying Mod

Wanted to post this again for visibility here on BlueSky. I never would've never expected a Doom mod to be one of the most fascinating gaming experiences I've ever had, but here we are. Probably seen this vid 5+ times, an incredible experience from beginning to end.

YouTube video by IGN FPS: First Person Shooter - Official Trailer (2023) FPS Documentary

Watched the FPS Documentary. I loved seeing the original creators talk about their games history. There's a few games I feel got left out, but as fps nerd this documentary was amazing.

An image of the two screens of the PS1 startup. Text has been edited to read "Holy shit, this bios is 30 years old. I am so old. You probably are too. You have my deepest sympathies. Play some PS1. I hear it helps".

Realised it was the PS1's 30th anniversary in like two weeks, and it did me immense psychic damage.

Perhaps a middle ground is possible... I believe the L4D Community team is working on a potential new update for L4D2 with Valve's blessing. They could definitely use your expertise. If you were interested, I could get you in contact.

If you still have the passion, why not? L4D2 is one of the top played Steam games still. People also make extensive Doom maps to this day too.

I would love to see that completed someday.

That looks awesome!
