This week on the podcast, I was joined by @beomulf.bsky.social to talk about RTS esports, shoutcasting, and the big Stormgate 0.3.0 update!

Yesterday, I sat down with Allen Dilling, Frost Giant's new Art Director, about his path to Frost Giant, his vision for a grittier Stormgate, and what it takes to move from a concept to a polished unit in game. I think it's well worth a watch!

Best part of coming home is finding all the random things the cats have knocked to the ground

This new StarCraft patch sure is...something. Only 6 maps, a couple of bugs, and changes just...not matching the changelog

What a time

So Supervive is out. Good bye free time, it's been nice knowing you

I moved in with my partner 3 months ago, and up until Saturday I've never had an issue with cats turning off the PC

It's now happened twice in 3 days 💀

I know it's about a month too late, but there should be a Shakespeare-themed haunted house called "To Sleep, Perchance to Scream"

That is all

Starting my Bluesky account off with a BANG!

What does it take to live a Life?

Gotcha. I think no creeps slows the game too much without an eco rework, so wasn't particularly useful data. Broken lite definitely had some cool games though!

Which version? Broken lite or no creeps?

How'd you all feel about Artosis' new maps last night? I've got a video out later, but I'm curious what others thought

Best part of a new system is the ability to get the handle you actually want 😀

Saw a youtube comment about Stormgate's 2v2, and it has me thinking - static defense and defensive topbar abilities are clearly too strong in 1v1 atm, but they seem well-balanced to 2v2 and do a good job of preventing the "knock one player out" strats. Makes me like it even more!

I guess the play for now is to follow the twitter process just in case :/

Man, rebuilding a network on a new platform is always a challenge - even just finding the same people when usernames change isn't the easiest thing 🙃

Those that are into tea, is it worth getting a kettle that can control temperature? I've got a great big bag of earl grey, and I read it's supposed to be steeped at just below boiling?

Do you know if Bluesky suppresses links like twitter did?

10 video games to get to know me

Hey Bluesky seems to actually be becoming a thing now. Love it

Man, Reynor v ShowTime Game 1 was an absolute war. Shame that ShowTime wasn't able to make his first finals in a long time :(

Who're the esports people on this platform that I need to follow?
