This week I joined @Respawn as a lead graphics engineer. I've been playing their games for years, and it's a thrill to be able to contribute to them.

Being a game dev is either: "Oh god, this game is not going to ship" or "Oh god, this game is going to ship."

This gizmo from @FreyaHolmer is everything I hoped it would be. Great desk addition.

[Steve Karolewics @skarolewics]

@Zaheelee Theory: that dude's so bad at listening he doesn't even pay attention to himself.

I am excited to see that two very nice people I know from Nixxes are presenting on their PC port work for Spider-Man Remastered. In an era when PC ports show basic/obvious tech issues, I think their talk on PSO and memory management is going to be crucial.

Remote and hybrid has been one of the best things to happen to many developers with disabilities.

I hope that inclusion is accounted for as these decisions are made. Because everyone belongs ♥️

[Steve Karolewics @skarolewics]

@AnthonyBarranco To add to the confusion, both DLSS and FSR have multiple versions so knowing that a game uses one isn't enough info to know what quality to expect from it.

[Steve Karolewics @skarolewics]

@AnthonyBarranco Checkboard is a technique among the bag of tricks for rendering now. The idea in a more evolved form is like using DLSS/FSR or other spatiotemporal reuse, where you render lower res and upsample to the final output.

[Zoid Kirsch @ZoidCTF]

While many studios did amazing work on the remaster, I'm let down Metroid Prime's Remaster does not include the full original game credits. I worked with so many amazing people on the game and everyone's name should be included in the remaster, not just a single card like this.

@roxaloxa Just avert your gaze from the edges of the screen, especially when looking at water.

[Steve Karolewics @skarolewics]

@ShishkaTweets This is even funnier because of your profile pic

[Steve Karolewics @skarolewics]

@alexabkim lmao Alexa. Apparently you play Hitman waaaay differently than I do. I need to take notes.
