Over the last two decades, video games have become closer and closer to movies. This is bad as interactivity is the heart of video games. Games aren't movies and shouldn't emulate them.

I think that Sony is the company that has done the most damage to gaming in the last 20 years. They are ground zero of movie games, remakes, and political virtue signaling.
AAA games suck so much today that I almost exclusively play indie games. However, that doesn't mean that AAA games don't matter anymore. Their (lack of) quality has an impact on gaming as a whole. See my full blog post on the issue here: corerunner.net/p/aaa-games-s…
Hey @circlefromdot, I liked Kusan a lot and wrote a review of it on my Substack. You can check it out here: corerunner.substack.com/p/ku…
I just published a review of Slaughter Void on my Substack: corerunner.substack.com/p/sl… @HYPERSTRANGE you might be interested in this.
I've written a new blog post! This time, I discuss what we can do in software development to prepare for success on an organizational level: thinkingsideways.net/people/…
I wish this article had existed when I started my software career. It would've saved my a lot of grief over the years. It's a bit sad that useful contributions that aren't in the top priorities get ignored but it's the way it is.

I've worked in a million lines of code codebase with thousands of engineers for ten years and I completely agree with Sean's advice here:

I write a review to one of my biggest pleasant surprises in game of the last years "Intravenous" by @spnidelman. You can check out the review on my substack: corerunner.substack.com/p/in…
I’ve looked at a lot of software developer job postings recently, and one thing has become very clear to me: modern developers are supposed to be jacks-of-all-trades.
I think this is a mistake and hence explore the topic in detail in my new blog post: thinkingsideways.net/people/…
I just finished the next post on my #substack. This time, I review Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound by @TheGameKitchen . Please take a look: corerunner.substack.com/p/ni…

A hairstylist in my neighborhood just got arrested for selling drugs. I’ve been a customer for years. I had no idea she was a hairstylist.
I've started a #substack. In my first post, I review one of my favourite games of the last decade: @GhostrunnerGame. Please take a look: corerunner.substack.com/p/gh…
I've had software quality on my mind lately. More precisely, I 've thought about what exactly the term means, how we can improve it, and about any potential tradeoffs. You can read the details in my new blogpost: thinkingsideways.net/testing…
This is a great article on how to achieve actual security rather than just security theater. Money quote "the best security is security without frustration". tailscale.com/blog/frequent-…
I just finished reading "it doesn't have to be crazy at work" by @dhh and @jasonfried. It's a wonderful book that I highly recommend. The idea of building a calm company is so brilliant that I wonder why this isn't just the default.
It's quite amusing that the term "clean code" can now mean "code I like" as well as "overengineered code I hate" depending on who uses it.
Even though most people will probably agree that software documentation is important, the topic of how to do it best is quite underdiscussed. Hence, I decided to do something about it and discuss the topic in my new blog post: thinkingsideways.net/process…
