For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Can I share something with you? I'm really really scared of the day when one of the #StarTrekTNG main cast members dies. I remember the days when DeForest Kelley and Leonard Nimoy died vividly. But #TNG is *my* #StarTrek. I just can't imagine at all how I will cope. 🙈

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Trying to light panels like these, at this scale, on my first proper build ever, was not the sane choice. 🤪

Zion's about as good as it gets
There's so much cynicism in games media but this guy just wanted to talk about the stuff that made him happy. His documentary work is some of the best Nintendo Life's had in its entire run

After nearly 7 years working with the team at Nintendo Life, I'm stepping away to try something new ✨
I'll miss my colleagues, this community, and the freedom that Nintendo Life gave me to cover whatever I found important. It's truly been a dream come true, so thank you ♥

We/my wallet decided to go homebrew with the gate. Some more foliage and door detailing and I’m not unhappy with that!

Any #snake people out there? We found this outside our front gate this evening. Very small (maybe 10cm), I moved it off the pavement to undergrowth across the road. Any ideas? (We live in northern Spain)
