We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

🤯"Unity developers will be able to publish games directly into Fortnite"
Wow, I am really surprised by this collaboration. I wonder how it will work? Do you control your Fortnite avatar in the Unity game or does it just launch a totally separate experience? This is crazy! #Unity

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

I am so sad about the passing of Rebecca Heineman. I got to meet her in person at GDC once, I told her about how the port of Out Of This World on SNES (that people thought wasn’t possible but she did) was one of my favorite games as a kid, and pushed me to get into games as a career.

I really liked the new Frankenstein, but am kind of sad I have no one to talk to it about. Watching movies by yourself kind of sucks.

A ★★★★½ review of Frankenstein (2025)
Good adaptation. Some cheesy too on the nose parts, some bad CG, and sure it’s not as good as the book. No movie is perfect though, I still enjoyed it. I hope the action and spectacle is enough to dra...

I was impressed and inspired by the creativity and polish on display today by the Seattle area indie game developers showing their games at SIX. It was fun to take my annual light rail ride into downtown Seattle and see cosplayers on the streets from #PAXWest too.

Seattle Indies Expo
Seattle Indies Expo is a free, yearly, one-day exhibition of the Pacific Northwest’s up and coming indie video games. What better way to escape the crowds of PAX than with the coolest of indie games?
