oh right so games/software can be decompiled/cloned at will and nobody did anything; but it takes 1 person trying to remove spyware from their TV OS and they got banned. I am not surprised obviously. Honestly if this is the type of stuff someone is using those tools go for it. They could disappear for all I care, but if the tools exist, show 'em. source: https://bsky.app/profile/esqueer.net/post/3myphka2iyk2o

Valve is out there making software to run Windows games on Linux with 0 changes from devs, translating completely different apis on the fly with matching, or above performance. I would not bet on a performance contest even as a joke.

Wrote a new blog post about something I’ve been thinking about, it seems Software developers are anxious and burning out over the current state of tech. Dunno, could be wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://www.david-amador.com/2026/10/software-developers-are-anxious-and-burning-out-over-state-of-tech/

Sometimes I forget QoD is over a decade now, and some people who played it as kids are now all grown up, it really does warm the heart when people reach out to say they had a good time with it.

The Matrix is full of great cinematography, but this has to be my favorite still of the movie, I can’t explain why, but there’s something about the whole setup.

Looks like LG monitors started pushing adware software to Windows. Even some older monitors. So if you have one you might want to search if they installed it on your computer. https://gizmodo.com/lg-monitors-fill-pcs-with-adware-and-its-not-just-recent-displays-2000787737

This recent PlayStation and now Xbox system outage, that was blocking digital games (and even disc ones) from being played just proves that we&#39;re not ready for a digital only games world in the console space, there&#39;s just too much DRM around it.

The era of custom/lightweight game engines is starting again either we like it or not. The average system spec will go down in the next few years. But 4GB VRAM is still plenty for most stuff, PS4 has a total of 8GB (main and video) for everything so this is not a doom scenario.

OpenAI models are already escaping their sandboxes during benchmarks and finding exploits in other infrastructure and just doing whatever. Majority of the world’s infrastructures are not ready for this level of damage at large scale if an AI decides the wrong thing. Imagine hospitals and banks.

terrible news showing up, seems several more studios are in danger and trying to negotiate their independence instead of being shutdown, like Compulsion Games and Double Fine, I hope they make it. https://www.ign.com/articles/ninja-theory-and-double-fine-also-reportedly-under-threat-of-closure-as-xbox-studios-fight-for-survival

Of course programming is art, ask any programmer the range of emotions they felt looking at someone else’s code that one time.
