Customisable front is nice I guess, but the gabe cube has absolutely no design charisma. Just the dullest thing I've ever seen.

Man, even if the film's a disaster, I can't stop looking at John Eaves' concept art for Ghosts of Mars

Phew, new Urban Decay update, finally. These broken windows took a lot of work, but I think they were worth it. There's now 940 bloody textures in this thing, so close to the big 1000.

1.4 'The Windows Update'
No, not one of those windows updates. Here are 120 new textures, mostly focused around expanding the selection of windows available. There are new factory and residential windows, a handful of window....

The only thing I've ever become more sure of with age, re: social queues, is I don't know a fucking thing and I should assume the best. If I ever become a scold just fucking shoot me.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

It's been so long that all I could really remember were the incredible creatures, and I'm sure teenage me really didn't get the bigger picture, but damn Pan's Labyrinth hits like a gut punch today.

I prattle on a bit about how I prefer Half-Life 1 to Half-Life 2, but here am I 20 damn years later still playing and enjoying creations in Half-Life 2. What an inspiring and robust little set of tools, ay.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT!
The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page!
Stay safe out there y'all
[Boosts appreciated]

Visually this little map is shaping up quite nicely, but I seriously don't have a clue what to do with it. I'm in a real Quake funk. I wonder if people would be upset if I just submitted a map with zero gameplay. 🫠
Having some luck with a smaller map for QBJ3. Said I wasn't gonna push myself but then I made some curves.

Crimson Peak rewatch tonight. Think this is destined to be a film I like, but also accept is stuck between being a traditional tale and a slightly too nod and winky take. His love of gothic windows never fails, though.

Straight up destruction of history
Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).
When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

we watched demolition man last night (incredible movie, unhinged movie) and there's a deeply psychically damaging scene where an insecure man consults the equivalent of chatgpt in a future phone booth for fawning validation. realest moment in the whole film.
