Looks like the 2nd wave of #SteamController shipments went out in Europe. Just got my update.

The #SteamController already being sold out is nuts. This gotta be the fastest selling controller launch of all time. Or even gaming peripheral. The original Steam Controller allegedly sold about 1.5mil - I wonder what amount was sold yesterday alone. 500k?
When the #SteamDeck and #Proton became a thing, many people (including me tbh) complained this would lead to fewer native #Linux builds - yet recently I see a trend with developers releasing Linux versions of their game just to quench out that little bit of extra performance.
I guess I have a new favourite playlist. #lofigirl (btw. I've recently seen a #Vinyl edition of a Lofigirl playlist in a local supermarket, the loop is officially closed now.)
"Furi" on #vinyl - probably one of the best #videogame soundtracks of all time, featuring Carpenter Brut, Lorn, Waveshaper, The Toxic Avenger, Danger and Kn1ght.
Listening to the new Carpenter Brut album "Leather temple", the official way - in style. #vinyl #carpenterbrut
#programming #ai
Another unexpected side-effect of #AI use in #gamedev is the reduced switching costs between engines. I had my VoxImporter plugin converted to Blender very quickly, which now has opened the possibility to migrate my game to the #Godot engine.
With the help of #ai I finally managed to triangulate my #voxel models without T-Junction issues. I've tried AI to solve this for me several times before, now ChatGPT5.3-codex made it work. 🥳 #gamedev
There has been a lot of chatter about the #steammachine pricing related to #RAM shortages. I still believe that #valve most likely had secured the RAM for their products ahead of the unveiling, so it won't affect price.
