Mate, that horse is flying.

Wow, what a tragedy. One of the industry giants.

Real conversation at work:

“Is it Ball Ex Pit?”

“Could be Ball Times Pit also”

“Would be funny if it’s actually Ball Cross Pit”

“…I just call it Ball Pit”

Happy birthday, Josh!

Lost a couple of years of my life watching that game.

Rolled credits. Good stuff, @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social! 🐺

Well here’s something I thought I’d never see!

Level Design at Naughty Dog #Blocktober 2025

Happy #Blocktober! It's been a while since I've done something so I decided to write another blog about #LevelDesign. medium.com/@arnaldo42/l...

What’s up Bluesky, it’s almost time for #Blocktober! Last year was the first year we saw proper activity on bsky, here’s hoping for even more this year!

Nothing some plantains can't fix...

Amazing! They still sound great. It was banger after banger all the way through.

The hype for Oasis tonight is through the roof!

The Bear: Let's make one of the most stressful episodes on TV!

The Pitt: Hold my beer.

Luca Marinelli’s performance in Death Stranding 2 is SO GOOD. That last scene with him is insane. It’s rare to see that kind of emotion coming through with in engine characters. Kojima Productions outdid themselves!

Spent 15 minutes trekking the snowy mountain in DS2, like the hobbits, only to realize I forgot the cargo when I got to my destination.

I’ll hold you to it! 😆

You finished it already?!

New NIN dropped!

It’s always been a curiosity with how complex the weaving of timelines is in TLOU2, what if there was an option, similar to that one DVD menu option in Christopher Nolan’s MEMENTO, to play the events of TLOU2 in strictly chronological order?

Guess that wasn’t the finale…

Those last two episodes of The Bear were weirdly cathartic. I’d be fine if the show ends there. So good. Kind of reminds me of the end of one of my other favorite shows: Mad Men. “Leave the characters in a better place than they were” was their approach to wrapping it up. Feels appropriate.

I want it!

I walked into Target this morning and they had some!

Space is not a wall: toward a less architectural level design Maybe video game level design theory needs less focus on architecture? And maybe I'm part of the problem? My bad.

new blog post: turned my gdc 2025 level design theory talk into a blog post www.blog.radiator.debacle.us/2025/05/spac...
