Saw one in SFO while attending GDC this year. Everyone on the ancient streetcar we were riding was taking the piss out of it. 🤦‍♀️

Not the same thing as a live service.

In what way is it a live service game?

Have you tried all-particle weapons with a better reactor? I found them better than anything else, and now I take out almost any ship in less than 10s. Even Starborn ships die in less than 20s. They can’t hit back when they’re dead.

It’s a wrap folks! I was inspired by so many people that came up to me this week at GDC, and was thrilled to present Finding Space for Sound: The acoustics of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. A huge thank you to all who attended it, and should you have any questions please reach out me here. #GDC2024

As you might know imagine, I’ve been in this debate recently too. What galls me though is how they keep talking about mayo as a replacement for butter even after it’s explained why you add in fat in the first place (and that butter has more of the right fat than anything else).

Well I guess that answers that question: Yes.

I thought I was done eating today, but no, I’ve just been handed a fake Magnum from Lidl. Living the dream.

No mention of GenX yet again though. Is this because in the US the dystopia arrived later on? I seem to recall poverty wages and an inaccessible housing market from the day I left home in 1998.

My drawing of an Imperial Light Cruiser, that the MD of Kenner-Parker wrote back to tell me was excellent in 1983, never got used in the Mandalorian or Ashoka, despite it corresponding with the timeline. I bet Dave Filioni never has this problem.

Once I worked on that Guitar Hero Live game, I realized there’s much worse than Nickleback.

What a joke. If you have to embed local laws into the awards’ rulings, then don’t host the awards in places that impede freedom of speech. I’m going to ignore the Hugos from now on.

I have moveable partition walls all the way around my desk at work. I wouldn’t want anyone walking past to see me mixing cocktails and get the wrong idea.

Tbh I totally lost interest in contributing to the doom scroll experience once I got back into smoking crack. 🤗

I managed to build my son’s car while he was away for a few days visiting his grandparents. I left the wheels and cosmetics for him to do when he gets back. #rccar #tamiya #hotshot

If you believe that a main quest is not long enough for you because the studio spent too much time on another facet of the product (like art assets), then you don’t understand AAA game development - at all.

Digital Foundry voted Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora "Best game graphics of 2023". And they even mentioned the audio in the context of GPU ray-tracing.
