STATS NERD TAILORING HIS FORMULA TO COVER THE SPREAD: The dew point at ground level isn’t conducive to deep sinkers. Pitchers are disadvantaged when throwing north PITCHER WITH THE CLUBHOUSE NICKNAME “BIG WHITEY”: if I don’t shit before the game I bet I could huck this straight through a guy’s head

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

gamefile.newsWho made the art inside Control Resonant?When the developers of Control Resonant needed to fill their video game version of New York City with art galleries, they tapped the talents of people they knew particularly well

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

If AI takes over video game guides to such an extent that we lose all guide writers... where's it gonna steal the guides from? If nobody's making guides to begin with (because it's no longer profitable, since all of that work is immediately stolen), there's no data for the AI to steal.

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.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg

what a fantastic all-timer thread on this phenomena and the psychology behind it I think about this all the time and not understanding this is the difference between successful liminal horror, and just horrorslop. liminal horror is about the baked-in hostility of public spaces we millenials saw die

Happy Evangelion Airing Anniversary Day to those that celebrate. Here’s a video of restaurant goers surprised by an employee turning out to be the title theme singer.

Kinda fucked up that “Star Wars Zero Company” doesn’t have a colon but “Star Wars: Galactic Racer” does. I won’t even get into “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order”

Start by offering little miniature vans to warhammer enthusiasts and then slowly give them bigger ones over time

Kevin Hearne@kevinhearne.bsky.social

How do we incentivize people to paint wizards on their vans again I haven’t seen a wizard van in a decade and it feels like we lost something precious Can we offer up a tax credit? Little bags of shrooms? Start a wizard van painting program at vocational schools?

Random thought I could probably write a whole essay about some time: the fact that there aren‘t more mainstream Romance video games is such a bizarre failure, like don‘t you people wanna make money? Why not cater to the infamously ever hungry audience of Romance book readers in another medium?

"the assessment did not consider the crocodiles" is my new metaphor for people choosing to just ignore the data point that doesn't agree with them

Tom Roberts@tpgroberts.bsky.social

Now, just personally, I would have considered the crocodiles
