PC, Steam, Normal.

The first access following each of the last two public releases has been unpleasant.

The cursor would bob around no matter how slowly I tried to move it. Turning had the same problem. Nothing short of exiting to desktop and then re-entering would fix it.

Reading all of this guys tweets now, did not realise he was posting so much insight in to the games development <3

Heres a fun one on switch optimisation/load times I thought I’d share with the other one

Looking at their gaming credits… wow. So many obscure games i’ve never met anyone else whose played em, yet I had. Nuclear Strike. Beasts and Bumpkins ;0; Warhammer: Dark Omen AND FA Premier League 99, the first and last football manging sim game I ever played and am convinced no game has matched since (assumed out of ignorance having only played one).

Was this guys forte getting PC games to run on any PC even silly old ones that should not ever try a game ever? Cos I think thats why I played all the games he worked on, they were PC games that worked on our family computer XD

Seems he was mainly responsible for getting compressed video to playback on mid 90s videogames back in the day, for which I am forever grateful. Audio Streaming Codecs too… So without him the beasts nor the bumpkins would have made those wonderful soundbytes
