Also, I have a weird association with books and pizza. I grew up in the era of the pizza hut book club. And you bet your ass I always earned that personal pan pizza

Kidding aside, I found so much joy in games as a kid. And I want to bring that same joy to others.

It's in project settings -> rendering -> optimizations, if you're looking for it

Hey Unreal friends, if you're seeing TSR artifacts around objects in motion, such as foliage moving or while quickly rotating the camera around a character, give this flag a try! It's resolved a lot of the noisy issues I've seen with TSR in ue5 #unreal #ue5 #gamedev

You know that thing you do where you slide a butter knife on the side of the peanut butter jar to get the last bit off the knife? I just did that on my coffee cup. FU daylight savings time

I'm still surprised sometimes when I make a work decision and people are all "yeah that sounds solid, let's do that" as if I have any idea what I'm doing. #gamedev #gameart

Gary McKay is a coward. One that's unable to deliver bad news in a straightforward and concise way without spinny bullshit. Gary you have a bunch of colleagues who will wake up tomorrow wondering how they're going to pay their bills. Tell them in a way that respects them.

My mom bought me a CD called "Doom Extras" when I was 12. So I started making doom maps. And I just sorta kept making maps for every game that let me

My wife and I are watching Lost for the first time. Just wrapping season 5. And every few episodes it's like I can hear the collective internet of the past screaming "what the actual fuck?!?" In my ear

It's an espresso machine. And if I do it right, the only waste is coffee grounds, water, and soap ๐Ÿคช
