I miss my father the most when I discover something he would have enjoyed... we had a difficult relationship, but, we occasionally connected thru specific art. Surely hundreds of hours were sunk into Age of Mythology and Counter-Strike, and Stargate was rerun half a dozen times over dinner...

Happy #screenshotsaturday, y'all. Everyone tells new devs to start learning by cloning games like Pong. My advice: don't stop at Pong. However long you've been at it, recreating games or mechanics you like (or don't like) helps you understand the hows and whys better than just playing.

I have mixed feelings about Marathon 2026 but if it dies there will be an irreplaceable hole left in me. I doubt we'll get another extraction game with this level of detail, effort, and innovation put into the world and lore. Also, it's the only game I consistently meet kind and patient teammates.

Since the spring of 2023, I have been creating a non-violent art museum in Doom. My goal was to find art that engaged with the themes that informed Doom's creation, while also exploring the possibilities of virtual museum spaces. Please enjoy this museum. Download link below

I talk to my brother about the various genAI garbage happening in the art world so that my brain does not melt. As an example, I asked him to come up with something for me to animate by hand as fast as I possibly could. He said "a banana doing bicep curls".
