@KassandraSanch Yeah, but now you have 12 hours of learning. 💪
Seriously. Failing is not a waste of time… even if the roads are dead ends, you learn how to go down them, what’s down there, and when (and when not) to do that. I promise, that 3 minutes is because he spent 12 hours another time.

Well i finally broke down and asked my boss.
He found the bug in three minutes.
THREE MINUTES.

Well today was one of those days where I spent all day trying to fix a bug and lost. It's been like 12 hrs. I feel so defeated 😔

PlayStation 5 to Bring Back That Slot for Hiding Your Weed In hard-drive.net/hd/video-games…

Cerny Games turns 25 today. Never thought it would last so long, or to take me to such interesting places -- 22 games across all five PlayStations, including a few I (somehow) had a hand in designing
Thank you @insomniacgames @Naughty_dog and @PlayStation for the good times!

COCOON is out! New trailer! Enjoy the game everyone.

@bmcnett Even if I were TRYING to shut down all speed running bugs as a dev, and I got this one reported, I’d be like “nah, let them have it”
English

Speedrunning feels too intimate, I don't want to know this much detail about the physics bugs in any game.. unless I intended to fix them

@RobAshton I mean, the obliviousness is perhaps its own answer to why

This is fan-freaking-tastic. Genuinely magical stuff - PS5’s fast SSD plus a LOT of work.

I'm particularly happy with how fast travel turned out. Drop into the map in any arbitrary location once you've explored enough of a district. It took lots of collaboration across our UI, art, animation, and tech teams to make it look and feel this smooth! #SpiderMan2PS5

@patio11 Requirement fulfilled: "If you're inside the apartment, your ability to open the door should not depend on possession of the key."

@d_feldman Feels a bit like the skeleton crew that’s left fulfilling a directive by patching in some JS-side content filtering because that’s all they know how to do.

This actually happened to Evernote. They took the advice of “keep talking to your customers and ship whatever they want” as the only guiding principle for product development. And what ended up happening was paying users liked it, but the product become unintuitive and feature overload for the new user. To the extent that they had to rebuild a version for the new user.
Users don’t always know if they really want something. It’s your job to take the extra step to think on their behalf: whether they really need this. Or can what they ask be done through something much simpler. Or can you solve multiple problems of different users with one new redesign rather than a bunch of changes. The right principle is: “Keep talking and listening to your users, spend the additional time thinking on their behalf what they actually want, and ship that”.

@vaccaro3d @GameOverGreggy Hahaha, I know that feeling. :) Seems like the Pulse elite uses the same PSLink protocol, also supported by Portal. Better sound, some noise canceling, adds a mic stick, simplifies buttons (mute is on the mic itself now), and does simultaneous pairing of PSLink + BT.
English

@drewthaler @GameOverGreggy I've had the USB stick to my PS5 headphones in the back of my PS5 for so long I literally forgot that existed and assumed they were Bluetooth headphones 😅 whoops. But I'm guessing the new ones they are selling a slightly different/better audio?
English

@vaccaro3d @GameOverGreggy That is, the headsets do Bluetooth too, so you can mix PS audio with BT audio and be paired to both simultaneously
English

@vaccaro3d The new Pulse headset + earbuds use a custom low-latency protocol … AND the killer feature @GameOverGreggy mentioned is that they also support multiple seamless pairing. You can be paired to PS5, Portal, and your phone all at the same time. Even have audio mixed.
