Any given evening when discussing things with the cat and he tells you the Xbox Controller is better than the Dual Sense. #catlies #gamedevelopment #absolutenonsense

This and this and this.

A Thursday reminder that if you haven’t purchased and read Jordan Mechner’s incredible Replay novel …. To do so right now. Second read through was even better, its an astonishing story.

The analytics on this post are just plain bizarre. My posts of informative and amusing stuff get about 250 views . . .

Best take yet.

This a thousand times over. Half my very long resume is probably licensed games, some great, some good, some terrible. The teams that worked on them were dedicated and professional developers who did an incredible job always in difficult circumstances (budget/time).

Porsche caught fleeing Nakatomi Plaza. Hans Gruber not at the wheel. No shots fired. Fran Healy

Sadly due to family issues I won't be Reboot Develop this year. My favorite games gathering in one of my favorite places on Earth. But fear not, I shall make it through, just me and my trusty trash can.

30 years ago Amiga Power gave a very generous review of Microcosm for CD32, the future of video games was here! The Psygnosis London crew did do an amazing job of making it by far the best version of the game, it was about a year after the original FM-Towns version. My baby.

Hot take. Ubisoft have got monetization ALL WRONG.

You know that thing where you go do a Blue Moon will work in the roughest conditions shoot and you’re photobombed by a nude dude on a beach Yeah that.

Feels good to be writing again, if only an outline. Got to get these muscles flexing so I can spend some serious time on the art this year. And then hide it away in fabulous imposter-syndome style!

Susan Cummings has great stories of dynasty-building on Spotify!

Getting out into nature relieves both stress and grounds you to the world (shoes off please). Nothing grounds me to nature and the World around me like walking on the beach while reading interviews of me in Retro Gamer #gamedev #gamedev elopment

Toxins removed, move to a higher state of mind. Meditation is a key to keeping on an even keel. With great practice in the art you can even meditate while reading interviews of me in Retro Gamer ; breathe in, breathe out. #gamedev #gamedev elopment

Exercise done? Let's talk toxins. Our body hates them. You've got to get them out. Sweat them out in a HigherDOSE sauna blanket while reading interviews of me in Retro Gamer ! Guaranteed to leach toxins twice as fast* #gamedev #gamedev elopment (* - not guaranteed)

Bugsnax is frequently consumer in this household. It should be in yours too. In every form.

Exercise. Nobody loves it, but everyone should do it. Development is a young persons game and I have to keep on my toes for shows. A quick run while reading interviews with me in Retro Gamer keeps me fit as a fiddle. #gamedev #gamedev elopment
