Diary of a Wizard by Blair Renaud Here I rot... the passing moons my only reference of time. Locked in this tower like a senile old king... How many years has it been? This life... Was it my life, or his?

The Kite by Blair Renaud © 2010 Photo source: Lucan Coutts Kids get a bum rap sometimes. It’s like racism in chameleons. We were that colour once... Maybe just not as bright. They call me the kite. It’s

Another great nocturnal themed song. There's some dispute about the meaning of the lyrics here, but I think it's pretty obvious it's about a vampire seducing his next familiar. Right? LYRICS "Possum

I got one of these cool kits from 23andme for the wife and myself for X-mas this year. For a little over $200 each, we both spit into a vile and dropped it into the mail, waited about a month, and last

Does every industry have these assclowns? I've only ever been a game developer, but I imagine they have to be mucking with everyone else as well. There are a few types of regular spam emails I get from

2 weeks on STEEMIT and I've already reached 100 followers! Pretty exciting. Let's give the platform a bit of a review. Will be a good thing to revisit at the next milestone. I found that it took a few

It's winter here in Toronto, hard to stay active. Most nights, it's well below zero Celsius. I would pick up Pokemon go and walk for a few kilometers in the hopes of catching 'em all otherwise. Instead

Let me start by not telling what my political views are. That's really not the point. Why the hell would you care? If you agree with me, you'll nod in agreement, if you disagree, you won't even read what

Another great nocturnal themed song. This time it's Laura Branigan's "Self Control" (1984) Crank it up at 1:43 for the feels. Lyrics Oh, the night is my world City light painted girl In the day

Nocturnal themed musical selections: Today's entry: Gabriel Palomo & Lee Chameleon - Lunar Connoisseur I couldn't find the lyrics online, so I had to write them out myself. LYRICS When the sun comes

This is my baby. A professionally made, custom arcade machine, pre-loaded with 46,000 games from Tiny Arcade Machines. When I was a young boy, I basically lived in the local arcades. It wasn't just a social

I can see again! Not sure when it happened, but Night Mode now stays on in Steemit. I started this series here with a complaint about it. Next complaint about the site is lack of notifications. Not related

As I'm sure you know, indie game development is difficult. The smaller and fragmented install base makes indie VR development even worse. Unfortunately, a one person team is almost forced to choose a single

By the mid 21st century, advertisers and politicians have learned to spread ideas more effectively using memetic theory. Influencers are paid top crypto to scour message boards and social feeds for topkeks

In this series I'm going to write out what I'll call Lore chunks. Small ideas that flesh out the world of the game I'm designing. Almost like a history of the future. Building out the backstory to the

You've probably heard of Scratching, or Skratchin', you may have even heard of the term Turntablism(the art of playing a turntable as a musical instrument). If you have no idea what I'm talking about,

Tonight I start designing the city for my new game. For now I'm calling it New Kowloon. Though, that will likely change. There are some constraints. It's a noir cyberpunk dystopia in an alternate near

I need to start this article by admitting that I'm a little jaded. I've been developing VR games myself since late 2013. It takes a lot to get me excited about a VR title. There's a lot of standing in

Submitted my Final video entry into the Unity Neon Challenge. 20k USD on the line. I'm probably not going to win, and that's okay. I learned a lot about the tools, and built some nice scenes and a look

It's pretty much the only thing on the app most nights after midnight. Company credit card... a guy's gotta eat right? A 40 year old computer nerd that doesn't get much exercise anymore has got... to....
