Gamedev, comedy, inanity and banality. Engineering director @ Epic Games on Fortnite. He/him. Tweets are my own, at least no one else seems to want them

Yo I'm just like my country I'm middle-aged and selfish and I'm not giving away my spot

@tomieinlove @i_zzzzzz Can’t like this enough

@AudrianaCB This is what happens to a generation of people who didn’t grow up with the FBI warning screen on their VHS tapes

@SandyofCthulhu I think this kind of thing is what gave rise to the business practices of “vertical slice” and “beautiful corner”, i.e. what if we had to make the entire game but only show a small bit of it, surely that will only take a month

@wilding_gyres I have a theory that the folks who think it was a luxury were told it by their parents just because they didn't want their kids drinking soda

[Dan Posluns @danposluns]

@_SpyDtroid_ It's hard to say without spoiling things, but they really just chose the wrong protagonist. Squall is all the worst tsundere anime tropes, brooding and petulant until he isn't, and just plain boring. There's another who would've been far more engaging as the main character.

@theWellRedMage I think we all carry perceptions and biases about just what made a piece of art great. Some folk yearn for a remake/remaster to put up a magnifying glass to those aspects, and some of us have routinely been disappointed by updates that don't appear to value the same things we did

@TheNCSmaster I briefly worked with the writer that named it. According to lore, he was called into the room and told “we want to say it’s a house, and evil resides there”. He pretended to think for a long moment before saying it.

@elkelk Notwithstanding the overhead bin issue (which is a real stress-maker for folks like me), airports are like a boss rush with a ticking clock and getting to your seat is the final stage at which you can finally claim victory and be done with it.

@Trierarch81 @archaicf0ssil He's so flamboyant (not in a gay-coded way) and over-the-top, it always struck me as weird , like "I know people think I'm a spy so I'm just going to lean into that perception to rob it of its power". Then in my 40s I learn that he was just trying to pick up the pretty boy, haha

@Jack_V_L @loafershaggy @GlebMelnikov8 The smartest thing they did for the series was show that his knack for sales and making deals was, on occasion, legit

@miaaowing This was a real low point for Deep Space 9

[Dan Posluns @danposluns]

@squarepianocase @wolftivy That’s debatable. If words are defined as letters in sequence (which they are), you can’t have “chump” with infinite “m”s and still claim it’s the word “chump” as it’s impossible to ever make it to the “p” to prove (or even be aware of) it.

@retrocvnty A stain on an otherwise perfect episode

@the_octobro People in 1993 would also say "what was that you said about AIs"

[Dan Posluns @danposluns]

@DiscussingFilm Their last movie (2015) was pretty good and adherent to the source material, I thought, other than shoehorning in an ending that was way too conventionally "happy". Hopefully this follows suit.

@ChronoKatie Reminds me of how in Skyrim I will grind meaningless stats until I can smith and enchant the best Dragon equipment and become a walking god, and then instantly get bored of the game and stop playing

@FantasyAnime Banon in the front row like a rookie

@MediumSizeMeech It took 90s brain to come up with the concept of rangers, who had power, and were mighty while ALSO being morphin

@GAltringham Spaceballs were trying to vacuum up all of their air when Mega Maid self-destructed
