The OG Threewave website is back! I've been meaning to build a website celebrating my work over the decades and bringing back to the original. Check it out and see what I've been up to lately. threewave.com/threewave

@Artemishowl_ I'm Canadian I don't understand what is "beach honkey." Where is the ice?

gonna torture myself by playing beach hockey next weekend

@chukgoodin Yes, the tritium included in the Smith Blade is radioactive, but it is completely safe for everyday use.

@ZoidCTF Is it radioactive?

Got my Smith Blade from Hacksmith. This will replace the Victoronix Swiss Cybertool that's been in my pocket for 16 years. It's made in Canada too!

I haven't written c++ much in a few years. WTF happened to the language. I can read this code but I don't want to.

I was 16 when this came out and I loved it. It's going to be weird seeing it at 56.

This one is really tough, I thought it might have been a Dynamo HS-9 but that doesn't have those upper curves. I found another image of the same cabinet. It's got a unique thing where the monitor shroud is mounted overtop the side panels, you can see they had to put the side art very low as there wasn't room. I can't figure it out. Maybe post it on the KLOV forums and someone there can identify it.

Does anyone know what kind of cabinet this is, and/or model number?

A Blizzard employee who had development (cheat) access on World of Warcraft live realms helped his friends cheat. This is always an immediate firing offense. Great clear and consistent reponse here from the WoW team. I was an engineer on WoW Classic and even I didn't have development access on live realms. Its only granted to specific individuals to address actual issues. Throwing away your job for something this dumb is astounding.

i've never seen someone get blue posted for a firing holy us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/prohi…

@ZPostFacto I've been an executive producer on two films now. It's been fun supporting the BC film industry and working with writers and directors.

@ZoidCTF Wait, what

My first film, The Bearded Girl is now available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime in Canada! Their one line summary, "The story of a bearded girl who is tired of being a freak." primevideo.com/detail/0SEG19Y…

KOTOR is one of the best RPGs on PC with an incredible story and rekindled my love of Star Wars after the prequel films kind let fans down. The game itself hasn't aged that well, I'm hoping the remake gives it great modern upgrade while keeping the spirit of the original.

Oh wow does this mean I can play Kabuki Warriors from the original XBox on PC? A fighting game so colossally bad a reviewer beat it by sitting on the controller and pushing buttons with his ass.

The trailer for my second movie All Night Wrong has been released! Blind dates can be murder. Starring Maria Bakalova, Zach Cherry, Tyler Labine, and Emily Hampshire it will be in select theaters and available to rent/own on digital and On Demand on Friday, August 14.

Can X stop emailing me about X Money? It's not available in Canada. My profile and posting country is Canada. Is your email system that incompetent?

@HitmanGFX44 I'm using an 8bitdo Pro 2. Works great!

@ZoidCTF Have you tried a lot of different controllers with it? Trying to swap controllers has always been a PITA with me on PC.

I have had my Steam Machine for several days now. Quick review: - Absolutely stellar set up experience. Your grandma could do it. - SteamOS is easy to log in, navigate and play your games. Everything learned from the Steam Deck is showing. - Had one issue where 5.1 audio would cause a one second audio cutout every minute or so, but moved input from HDMI 4 to 3 on my HiSense U88N and it fixed it? I blame the TV. - Perf is good. I was a bit worried from a bit of the early reviews but all the games I threw at run great. Sure they aren't in 4k HIGH QUALITY, but they all run at 60fps or better with AMD FSR and medium/high settings. I was surprised getting 70+ fps in Diablo IV at 4k. - It's very quiet. I have it in my TV stand (as shown below) but I never hear it even when running very demanding games. Cooling seems to work out even in the cabinet with the door closed. - Everyone in my family wants a round on it, now its super easy to log into their Steam account and play their games on the TV! It's a shame the price is so high because of the RAM AI crisis, but this is still going to sell well. It's a solid package of good design and decent performance. If you want to play PC games on your TV, its a great option. Also the red face plate is the best one. Set the light to green for that watermelon summer feel!

@Michael_Urwin It will run everything at 1080 60fps or even more.

@ZoidCTF If I wanted to use it as a 1080p machine would it be good for that? I want to be able to play basically any game at 1080p ultra and get 60+ fps. I don’t care about the resolution being higher than that.

@exQUIZitely Great game. Who ever is playing in this video has cheats enabled. There are several points where a flipper clearly lands on him and times when he passes a lane that a pulsar has pulsed out. I've made it to the invisible levels on my own, with about $40 in quarters of course...

Tempest (1981, Atari), created by Dave Theurer, has got to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing and trippy games ever made. For its time, it was seriously beyond epic.

@infidelity_nes @noobde I hate how much the CPU cheats in MK2. Have to do the back jump trick and force them to jump at you. Easy to beat once you figure out how to exploit the AI.

Water break after defeating my favorite game of all time from 1993. @noobde thank you for my obsession of 33 years!

I'm daily driving a OnePlus 13 still. Like Marques I quite liked their phones and OxygenOS. Bummer it will be my last OnePlus. Guess my next phone is probably a Pixel 11. (Tweeted from my OnePlus 13!)
