I beat Woodman last night. I can stay!

If people knew how bad I was at Mega Man games they’d never let me work in the game industry.

I’m seeing a lot of similar complaints from others too.

Whoever was looking after the 64bit Steam client update really goofed. Now Steam won’t start unless I unplug my 8bitdo gamepad, worked totally fine b4.

And then when the client does run, the Steam UI doesn’t recognize it or input.

But games themselves actually work with the gamepad just fine.

… I know we have some here too but not as many or echo chambery

There’s some thing I miss about Alberta. Liars with wild religious fueled paranoia is not one of them

Ridley Scott was so right about people making really bad decisions it's scary

I shipped an AAA game as AI Lead and Arby’s put the Great Canadian back on the menu, my absolute favourite burger/sandwich. Things are looking up!

The Dimitri finds out meme, which is a two panel vertical meme of a guy being interviewed by a lady. The caption reads "The club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing." The second caption reads "There is much pain in the world, but not in this room."

Bluesky rn

The London manager is go big or go home

Turns out my CC does have a gunpla section, not as impressive tho

Event Horizon. 4K. Halloween. Make it so.

Very sorry to hear that man. Not at the same level but have been going through stuff on my end for last six or more years, I know how much ones fur buddy can mean when ya need em even then.

Canada Computers around here started having nerd aisles too and has some gunpla and anime stuff. Not to that level though holy

… and of course thanks! 😊

I don’t know, yet… we aren’t using STs presently, just BTs

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it 🙏
It’s been a joy to work on

Thanks!!!

It. Is. Out! So proud to have worked on this as Lead AI Programmer.

Oh snap is it out? Here we go....

I just grabbed the 4K UHD of this. Amazing timing

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. " "You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

Software rendering was the peak of visual expression. When you had to earn it both creatively and technically around limitations. Everyone now trying to recreate the magic as “retro”.

The GPU was the downfall of western society. Thanks for attending my Ted Talk.

If Street Fighter was a Bruce Lee movie, Mortal Kombat was a gory Hong Kong schlock movie like Riki Oh. It was never about being polished, it was laughing with your friends as he pulled you spine out.

That and there need to be more layers in the social net to mitigate issues before it involves police… earlier in timeline. Cops being at the tail end of the chain when all else fails.

Mental health, drug use, abuse, etc. A lot (not all :/ ) can be stemmed earlier on.

Extremely tense. From within the squad in addition to being hunted by locals. And the cast is stellar too.

Souther Comfort is a hell of a movie. I’m debating getting the 4K UHD from Vinegar Syndrome.

I do get a kick out of the fact that the floppy is basically now Egyptian hieroglyphics for save now. Generations of young people have been clicking that icon never having seen or touched one in real life.

My childhood revolved around a few of those 💀
