Went to lunch with my bosses to a restaurant nearby the office. Scanned the QR code to see the menu (ugh). Noticed that the chef is apparently having a good time naming his menu items.

Never have heard of this Zeebo console from Brazil/Mexico before but looks like it was just emulated and apparently has an incredible version of Double Dragon that I absolutely need to check out sometime.

XDefiant launches today. Didn't work on it aside from giving a bit of advice for a particular packaging issue they were running into. Still, there's always a fun energy in the air around the studio when a launch is happening, even if it's the launch of something we didn't work on locally.

It's strange to me how many people think that we wouldn't be cheering on other companies and other studios when they launch new games out there. The honest truth is that if you've been in the gamedev industry for any amount of time, you have friends just about everywhere and we all just want to support each other.

A rising tide raises all boats, you know? And with all the layoffs happening industry-wide, seeing good news feels all the better.

I've been laid off and need a new job. Maybe game journalism, maybe something else in games, maybe not games at all. Entertaining all possibilities at this point, so please reach out if you think I might be a good fit for you.

Some incredible stuff from various fan communities out there these days. Mario Builder 64 is essentially a Mario Maker type game for Super Mario 64 that even allows you to download levels other people have made.

So many really talented folks out there, I hope it doesn't die an early cease-and-desist death from Big N.

Check out the release trailer here:

Is there a #SteamDeck alternative? I seem to recall someone mentioning one to me like it was a less expensive no-brainer because it would also run some Windows software.

I finally did it. I used an LLM. A couple of months ago, MS added its Copilot to Windows. I turned it off. But the latest update shoved it back in my face and tried to get me to let it use my data. So I asked it a question: How do I get rid of Copilot? It suggested I uninstall it like any other program, but MS removed that option. But Copilot went on to tell me the exact registry key to change to block it from loading, and now it's gone.
