Creativity will win. Creativity always wins. Our industry runs on novelty, originality, and new-new. There’s a reason the 4th game in most franchises sucks. Keep your head up, keep making new stuff, keep sharing new ideas. Reach out to friends and tell them you love them and love their creativity.

The Killing Stone, starring @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social & @voiceofobrien.bsky.social is out NOW! Can you beat the Devil at his own game? 🕯️🩸🪨 😈 youtu.be/tO1FtKzrSG4?... Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2781470/... Sony: store.playstation.com/en-us/concep... Xbox: www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.

Firsthand I've seen AI tools struggle with Unreal because unlike standard C++ or python the public training data isn't voluminous. "No handwritten code" is pretty wild in general, but in specific feels like it'll create a lot of problems.

Sox get booted from the playoffs, Bears stinking it up in Green Bay so far, not a great weekend for Chicago sports.

Bang up job, everyone. Well done. Off to a helluva start. Who could have seen this going sideways. 'The acquisition of Electronic Arts required taking on a lot of debt, and some bondholders are reportedly demanding more cash." www.gamedeveloper.com/business/ele...

White Sox beat the Guardians, 4-3 A three-run sixth keyed by a Braden Montgomery two-run double flipped the game. Sean Burke was brilliant in bulk. Grant Taylor pitched again. Sox are a win away from the ALCS.

The White Sox have led at the end of 24 of the innings they’ve played this postseason That’s the most in the first 3 games of a postseason run in franchise history and Tied for most by any team in first 3 games of a PS last 20 years, with 2019 NYY & 2017 LAD h/t @EliasSports

The first game to Ray Trace Nanite has arrived! Gears of War: E-Day is out now - with super charged ray tracing powered by RTX Mega Geometry. Proud of what we achieved with our friends at The Coalition. www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...

This is the White Sox first postseason series win since the 2005 World Series, also vs HOU That snaps the second-longest active drought without a postseason series win entering today (CIN 1995 NLDS)

Thanks to our colleagues at Pixar, NVIDIA, SideFX, OTOY, Blender, and Autodesk for their amazing work on this year's MaterialX and OpenPBR Virtual Town Hall. The full slide deck can be found at materialx.org/assets/ASWF_..., and stay tuned for the published video from the @aswf.io.

This is another great, approachable explainer on “the rationalist wackos who have managed to take over much of the AI industry, and who now have tons of money and political power.” www.iankduncan.com/personal/202...

I gave a lightning talk at Blendercon! It's about USD, and how you don't have to worry about it!! It's easy! Catch the recording here at 44:02

Just finished up Zero Company. Really fantastic. I love the x-com genre of games and this is a worthy entry.

Still enjoy this comic I made years ago, even if I haven’t done any graphics work in so long.

Well, I finally took my own advice about building accessibility in from the beginning. Rebind Studios is officially underway. I’m excited to help teams solve hard accessibility and production problems and, eventually, to make some games of our own. www.rebindstudios.com

Should be fine not like these tech companies have gained a reputation of utter recklessness and disregard for safety

I really hate the framing of these stories as "an AI agent broke out and hacked something." No, an inadequate sandbox meant that a powerful and unpredictable computer program was set loose on the open internet by the company that designed it. The agency isn't with the "AI agent", it's with the firm

🏈 CHI 59 - 37 CAR FINAL ✅ That's Scorigami!! It's the 1096th unique final score in NFL history.

Caleb Williams with the best performance for a Bears QB in a season opener since at least 2000 by passer rating (124.1), completion percentage (72.4%) and EPA per dropback (0.48) per @TruMediaSports. Bears 59, Panthers 37 The Bears are 1-0

I think the industry (myself included) needs to put more effort into death ragdolls. I want them to be funny, not natural.

One thing I learned from this article is that (on NVIDIA GPUs) 128-byte cache lines are divided into 4 32-byte sectors, which are read independently. So there's a benefit to reducing random-access reads below the cache-line size, but not below 32 bytes. blog.doubleword.ai/what-happens...

With Munetaka Murakami and Tristan Peters, the White Sox are the first team since at least 1900 to have two rookies with a 5+ game HR streak in a single season h/t @EliasSports

I have been working on some dx12 hw ray tracing code to directly compare TinyBVH sw ray tracing on the GPU against DXR. Code is now in the dev branch, see external/dx12rt. Results so far: TinyBVH reaches about 38% of HW RT perf for primary rays. Need to do better. :) github.com/jbikker/tiny...

The idea of AI “hallucinating” is one I wish I’d had!
