Like any good developer I spend more time futzing with my dev setup than doing work, and window management is a key time waster. Too bad then that AeroSpace came along and finally fixed my setup... Maybe it's back to VIM fiddling again.

@izzziemoore Thanks so much for sharing your love of the game and your personal story around beating it!

This panel was such an absolute joy to watch- getting my Portal 2 preorder cube signed by @weier_josh was honestly a dream come true! I encourage people who missed it to watch Kiwi’s upload, he had someone upload the PAX stream and pinch views from him so it would mean a lot. ❤️

Here is the PAX AUS 2024 Panel I did with @weier_josh for those that couldn't attend. We talk about his work on Half-Life 2 & Portal 2, the early days of Steam, the Source Engine, the culture of Valve and more... WATCH HERE➡️ youtu.be/t9K83HkJb3k

In my tired state I forgot to say a big thanks to @kiwitalkz for hosting the event and setting it all up! Definitely check out his other podcasts for even more stories from developers.
English
Thanks to everyone that showed up to #PAXAus today for my talk! It was incredible to see so many fans of previous work and I loved all the stories you shared with me.

Looking forward to chatting about video games at PAX soon! Stop by if you're down under.

I am happy to announce that I am returning to @PAXAus to host a special panel with @weier_josh to talk about his days at Valve, from his Half-Life 2 days to leading development on Portal 2, he has got some cool and funny stories. Hope to see you there!!! #valve

@hodakaroadtoad Good question! Sadly, I've been away from Valve for years at this point, so I'm not much help.

@weier_josh ok, how can I help get Portal 3? I don't want to die without having played it. I now measure moments in my life on whether I'll get to play X game while I'm still alive.

@matttwood Today we are as far from the release of HL2 as the release of HL2 was from the debut of the original Gauntlet.
English
@weier_josh I’ll be honest, If I had to pick between the Portal 2 we got, and what F-Stop could have been, I’d still pick Portal 2 every time.
I think you guys made the right decision to switch gears, but then again. I might be biased as Portal 2 influenced a huge part of who I am today 😊

A pretty cool video about our playtesting process at Valve.

F/Stop was awesome--it should have been its own product. But it wasn't "The Company" that made us change direction, we did that ourselves and used playtesting to be the impartial judge to make that shift a positive one that imparted momentum for what became Portal 2.
English
Use it wisely though! When we came up against issues we tried very hard to always fix them with as minimal and light a solution as we could, and kept inching forward until the problem was resolved--or scrapped it and went back to the drawing board.

I'm a big fan of preserving the history of how games were made, especially because they're messy and chaotic at the best of times.

How pleasing to see Portal 2 make the top spot in @thetimes list of best video games of all time.

@ZoidCTF @geoffkeighley @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Karen playtesting L4D2 was a highlight for me. It was as if Red Fraggle was trying to escape the hordes of undead.
English
@geoffkeighley @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN I had the opportunity to work with Karen Prell who animated Wheatley in Portal 2. She had amazing stories about working with Jim and her work as the puppeteer of Red Fraggle and on the movie Labyrinth. It was amazing to hear about Jim from her.
English
Beyond tired but recorded an amazing podcast today with @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN - we talked extensively about The Muppets, Jim Henson and Sesame Street.

Also, this is definitely David Sawyer and not actually David Speyrer. Definitely.

Apparently I projected my own dislike of Garfield onto the writers!
