Next ‘The World Is Not Enough’ for N64. I had some fun (skiing is neat), but this game is rough. The controls are terrible. I’m so curious how this happen. Goldeneye had been released 2 years prior.
First off Goldeneye. This game has aged pretty well considering and has fortunately been re-released. One of my favorite games of all time. You can feel the love the team put into this game.
Decided to play as many James Bond games as I can before the new game comes out. Which is harder than I thought because most haven’t be released digitally.
Off to GDC next week, ping me if you want to chat!
I was joking yesterday about how long before Just-In-Time Software exists. I guess that is coming.
Heavily under watched movie
The transition away from manually writing code is going to be a seismic change. Bigger than most understand and will happen more quickly. In the end it will be great, moving up the abstraction ladder. Enabling us to solve bigger problems more quickly.
In the short-term there is still lots of value in deep understanding of code. Spotting issues, debugging, understand domain specifics. But that to will go away. In university I was told to learn assembly because how would I write good high level code without that knowledge. Spoiler not important #AI
Any programmer that thinks they will be writing most code manually outside of narrow domains in 2 years time is mistaken.
Well it happened. After a lot of tests this last two weeks I can say AI is now better at writing code than I am. My days of manually writing software is coming to an end.
This one is working pretty well. We’ve also started work adding to its functionality.
At AstroBeam, we are now using Claude a lot for Unity development. I’m starting a series of posts about how we are using Claude (setup, best practices, etc). First one up, getting it all setup. devinreimer.substack.com/p/using-clau...
I know the biggest question folks have about Analogue 64. Yes it supports Hey You, Pikachu
Analogue 3D is awesome! Being able to play with a Switch 2 N64 controller makes it even better!
Hockey stress
If you haven't I highly recommend watching the documentary Light & Magic. Everyone thinks Industrial Light and Magic as all pioneers, but there is two episodes about how their initial work in CGI ripped the company apart. Many referred to as "The Dark Side". Change is hard
Before someone jumps in and says well this time it's different. Of course it is, it's always different and there is always bad sides of big change. But it's way more similar then it is different.
Been watching a lot of creative documentary recently, Imagineering, Pixar, ILM and every one has a part where a new technology is introduced (ex: computers, CGI) and there is a revolt by folks (this will bad, take jobs, destroy the craft, etc). Bluesky community intensity about AI feels very similar
If some how Bluesky existed when computers were invented this place would be soooo angry at computers.
Claude Opus 4.6 is incredible. Finally got a good setup for development with Unity and it is wild what is now possible.
“nothing is real until it hurts me” slogan replaces “don’t tread on me” slogan on a Gadseden flag
how we got here
Makes me so happy to read about the continued important work on hand tracking and interaction design.
“You will feel more emotions in a shorter span of time playing Stellar Cafe than in practically anything else on the Meta platform.”
person very clearly struggling in a tetris-like game asking a chatroom "are you not supposed to match the colors? wtf is going on here" with a screenshot where they are trying to match the colors by putting all the like tetriminos together
good reminder that there is always a first time someone encounters something in their life and when it happens it is not about personal intelligence or ability but just access, pure happenstance, and the entropy of the universe

Sorry to hear that
