IT infrastructure by day, and Unity dev in training by night. I talk a lot about game modding/baseball/gamedev/tech/wrasslin often. #RepBX

plot twist, we are in offseason mode: - an mvp 2005 (xbox) recomp exists in beta but you need the iso or the xbox dump - an mvp 2005 (pc) patch 6 is on the way - a full decomp of the xbox build (actual readable code) is in progress never stop believing

Good work, seems like it wasn't meant to be. Hopefully when someone attempts an ai port it's not complete slop garbage

I mean 1) rooting for a divisional rival is wild, and 2) two journeymen who’d been written off a few times on different teams including the Yankees finding themselves the one place where it all comes together is a great story. That's the charm about baseball.
Yankees fans celebrating last night? How embarrassing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We didn't plan for a first-person mode. Our play testers found one anyway. 😅⚽️ 🔄 Switch players, see the whole pitch 🎯 Switch back, camera behind the FK taker ✅ Camera angle no longer stuck inside the player #indiedev #football #soccer #gamedev #unrealengine

modders to devs, huh...
Cyberpunk 2 associate game director Pawel Sasko revealed that much of the game’s staff are actually former modders who CD Projekt Red picked up to work on the highly-anticipated sequel. bit.ly/3TTliVf

I reloaded my save after this update and had to get my bearings again, then I realized, fuck it, Nomad run once again. Long live CP2077.
Yeah coming back to Cyberpunk 2077 for this Edgerunners S2 update was such a bad idea cause i’m so ready to drop everything and just start a brand new playthrough right now

This is something we've been working on as a small side quest. We've almost rebuilt the SmackDown 2 game in Unreal Engine 5. This SDReloaded Engine will be released for Free, open source on Github when done for non-commercial reasons, ghouls don't get any ideas. Support of @dot_discovery continued support is enabling us to do things like this, so thank you. 👊 Obvious things to clean up (aprons etc), but it's cool to see how they rendered the characters off screen and had them appear in through the tron. #UE5 #PS1

Perfect time to pivot and support @PureContender 's development
First they actuvely lie, mislead and don't listen to their core audience, and when people take matters into their own hands, which they do faster and much better than Konami btw, all of a sudden they see it and they take action. Shame on you @Konami

Ok. If you had unlimited resources, what IP would you buy so you could revitalize it??

The Yankees have built a brand that can monetize the greatness of previous generations forever, so how the team is run now only needs to remain competitive enough to keep that historical identity relevant. The 2023 team finished in 4th place and averaged 40K fans a game, FFS
You and me could stop going to games along with everyone we know combined and that still won’t come close to moving the needle 😂 Yankee Stadium is a built-in tourist attraction. That place will be filled whether you and me stop going or not. That suggestion needs to stop.

A banger interview. Marcus (@GaTechAlum_IE92) is such a legend to the genre. @softdrinktv I'm low key hoping you get a chance to interview some of the big names behind well received baseball titles like Jon Dowd/Brent Nielsen/Ben Brinkman/Kolbe Launchbaugh at some point🔥
Here is my full interview with Marcus Matthews (@GaTechAlum_IE92) the executive producer of the first NBA 2K and NFL 2K games at Sega Sports. Enjoy! (Also uploading to YouTube and Spotify)

What I'd want Hal to explain is why the roster remains in his assessment an unequivocal front-office success when its most consequential shortcomings were exposed by a divisional rival. Tampa Bay dogwalked us by winning the division, the season series, the ALDS and the pennant
Hal Steinbrenner is asked if he's sick of answering questions about the Yankees falling short of a championship each year: "Do I like sitting here, trying to explain why? No. But I am going to analyze, in a very objective way, what we think went wrong."
