New Lookouts Art!

My eldest son Gabe is in his third year at Digipen and we like working on projects together. We’ve attempted to make some games before and while none of them made it past family testing, we both had fun and learned a bunch of cool new skills. Our latest endeavor has already reached the "testing with friends" phase which is a big step for us and a sign I think that this one might have legs. Speaking of legs, the project we are working on is an Eyrewood step tracking app.

 

 

Star Wars Outlaws on Switch2

I started playing Star Wars Outlaws when it came out last year on the PS5 and I really liked it. Eventually other games came out though and I didn’t end up finishing Outlaws. Well I heard the Switch 2 version was excellent and I honestly had a hard time believing that so I decided to grab it and check it out for myself. It supports cross save so I was able to pick up right where I left off on the Playstation. I was expecting to load it up, be disappointed in how it ran and call it a day but it was so good I ended up playing another 10 hours and beat the damn game. 

 

Hedge Wizardry

The insides of this computer haven't been touched since Quarantine with the addition of a 3080, which was the right time to have a good card. Everything else in this shitbox, what the ragged youth of my street would call a Potato, is from years before that. I'm actually in a position to take advantage of Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling precisely because it's so decrepit elsewhere. I'll Fuck Around in an .ini, and Find Out about marginal gains. I was up in Borderland's guts before I ever even made a character, it ran goof troop, and then when I reset to defaults it played great. PC Gaming, folks! PC motherfuckin' gaming.

Patential

I think you sorta have to read the patent that Nintendo was granted to understand the whole thing, but as a generality broad patents preemptively constrain possibility and so I oppose them. Also, the people who seem to grant patents don't seem to know anything about anything; they're like newly hatched chicks for whom all the world constitutes wonder and novelty. The early Internet was full of stuff where people were like, "Yeah, I came up with the idea of information itself" which people had to defend themselves from. I want to say that it's like a battlefield from a parallel dimension, except in a very real way it is a higher dimension, because it determines what we can do down here.
