And who knows, it may be one day. But right now, according to the Steam reviews at least, it's plagued with more than a few technical issues. My policy of waiting to play Borderlands games (or indeed many AAA games) hasn't failed me yet.

Want to know why so many games seem the same? Why so many big publishers jump onto trends they probably shouldn't with budgets that could have been better used? God, so do I. But smarter people than I do have a solution: www.linkedin.com/pulse/issue-... #games #gaming #writing #amwriting

I don't normally buy or promote this sort of thing on my official Bluesky account, but Cori's a friend, and so is the artist. So if you like this sort of thing...

Digital Foundry just went independent. To those unfamiliar with games journalism/Digital Foundry, this is an awesome turn of events, and I love this for them.

We're excited and proud to announce that Digital Foundry is now fully independent, having parted ways amicably with IGN. In this DF Direct Special, we share our thoughts and aspirations for the future of the channel: youtu.be/tl7bIJ2yu4I

Just going to post this for anyone Googling it: the process of taking an *existing* text/script/transcript, and automatically aligning it with an audio or video file to create subtitles is called "forced alignment." Now you know what to Google.

I should have started using git remotes on my VPS for deployment ages ago. So much simpler than routing through GitHub or Gitea and webhooks and all that.

It's done! After a couple of days of learning Hugo, fiddling with Obsidian, and learning how to manually (and properly) set up simple git remotes... it's done! My website now has all of my best articles, no broken links, and filters for easy sorting. ezequiel.works

While I search for employment, I've started a newsletter about the games industry (mostly for the uninitiated). It's on LinkedIn of all places, but I'm considering other platforms. Here's a piece I wrote on how a game's community affects its financial prospects. www.linkedin.com/pulse/issue-...

linkedin.comIssue #5 - How Much Does the Friendliness of a Community Affect a Game's Financial Success?It would be easy enough to argue that the community surrounding a game or franchise is important, but not that important. After all, some of the most wildly successful games in the world have some of ...

Alright, I give in. It's time to get serious about my (real-name) social media profile. It's not just for the ongoing job-or-client search, I swear! But it IS a little bit about that, not gonna lie.
