Game development and games in the cloud. Metaverse. Denmark. My opinions are my own.
Tears of the Kingdom How To: Step 1: Fire up the game and complete the mandatory tutorial. Step 2: Completely ignore all quests and roam the countryside acquiring all of the special clothing sets. Step 3: tbd
I was giving a talk on game development in the aws cloud to a bunch of university students. I always get a little nervous telling students to sign up and try some things, because I wish an AWS account had an easy "poor student friendly" mode of "when I hit spend of $X, turn everything off". Yes, some combination of Budgets and Lambda could maybe do it, but setting that up from scratch for a student is prohibitive. Maybe someone has created a nice CF solution for this already? Like AWS Nuke with a budget trigger? #AWS #CoreyQuinnWasVisionary #Budgets #Students
And to be clear, love the game, can't wait for Skylines 2
So spurred by the announcement of one day having Cities Skylines 2, I jumped back into Skylines 1. But I forgot what a Zenos Paradox (no pun intended) it is, where I just get pulled deeper and deeper into smaller and smaller minutia. Last I left my enormous city last night , I spent an hour hypertuning a specific, single traffic light to a timed on/off sequence. I will never finish the game as it's a series of progressions in smaller and smaller steps.

Found a bunch of ntfs behind a dumpster and gonna sell them out of the back of my van. #web4
Playing #Pentiment and made some bad choices. Feel like a real dirtbag. 😓
What's the best current successful example of separate games where a player can take their assets from one and use in the other? Ideally from separate studios. Ntfs maybe? Is this really a thing? #ntfs #metaverse #games #web3
I think I've played Skyrim 20+ times, for countless hours and hours, but have never finished it. Just got so focused on individual side quests. How does it end, does the main character solve their anger issues and not shout at everyone? #skyrim
