The craziest thing about Quake is how many modern FPS games originate from it somehow

Valve's Source engine was a modified Quake 1 engine which spawned Half Life, Counter Strike, DOTA, Apex Legends, Titanfall

The entire Call of Duty and Warzone series originates from a modified Quake 3 engine that's continously iterated since!

Listening to a lot of P.O.D. lately - what a vibe

The scale is wild. Niantic must have really not loved gaming...

Really hard to overstate how poorly Unity has been doing recently... yikes

Ugh... I'm getting Lucasfilm 2012 vibes all over again. Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson were excellent stewards of James Bond. I'm worried that this move is going to shift things from long-term thinking to unaccountable myopia.... I hope I'm wrong

Already met several Japanese film and anime professionals who told me how absolutely brutal it is to work in the film, tv and anime world in Japan

We’re prone to asking “What should I do?” but less prone to asking “What shouldn’t I do?” Since what we don’t do determines what we can do, I like asking about not-to-do lists.

@DefiantLs Someone should have asked about what the difference between "The English Channel" and "La Manche" is... 🤔
