In the workplace, a child will learn valuable skills they can’t apply elsewhere. At public schools, they learn to hate their parents and the very things that make them free.

@ I was struggling internally to feel viscerally, initially. The spirit was there but unable to infiltrate the substrate Was it me? New beginnings? Soul still too shattered? It was me & the inspiration has started to seep into the cracks and join the shards once more

Dredge is supurb and you should play it. Nailed a sense of creeping horror. Is beautiful and so well composed too (both visually & audibly). And everything is so tightly executed(!) I can't recall feeling disengaged from the game and it's world at all Really special, play it

My computer keeps randomly locking up and buzzing the last ms of audio, forcing a manual reset. It is so so frustrating(!) and seems to happen anywhere from 15 mins after rebooting to 12 hours. Usually under load but not always?? How do I even diagnose the problem??? - _ -
10+ years of game industry development experience, multiple released titles, an MSc in Computer Science with published papers, more game jams than I could possibly count... and still when I get the UI navigation to finally work the way I want it to I'm like "aw yisss"

I'm so tired I just can't keep myself up for the rest of the last set (dojoe's amazing DnB 🎶 ) . Fortunately, the bass is so loud I can feel it vibrating the ground all the way by the sleeping area. A lovely lullaby to mark the 4 year return to Night ^ _ ^ zzz

Slight variation on the previous. Though much more variation is possible.

Spend a few days working on a Unity version of this, defining symbols and sentence glyphs so I can animate how they are put together a bit easier. #madewithshapes ... also at some point: Interaction! Game! Learn the language of an artistic and poetic alien race

German friends: Is there a sign I can put on my door that roughly says "don't ring me for nothing before 10am I will come down and shout at you in terrible German" or is this bad form?

Game Engine tutorials are either "Do this, it makes no sense, do that, it'll make no sense either, no time to explain, it'll work, bye." or *puts hand over your shoulder* "I shall sing you the song of this subsystem; once upon a time long, long ago...." There is no in between.

At some point, processing power will become so powerful that we'll just hit a sufficiently high (200?, 300?) FPS and won't bother going higher. There will be no need to render at variable frame rates. Or will there?

Unity C#? (a,b) = (b,a); is a neato-torpedo way to swap two variables I just found this out today and the rallying call of, "to Twitter! The world must know!!" rung through my head But I see the world has already been dutifully informed Still, preeetty dope (de)construct

My latest obsession is watching snooker. The tactics, the skills, the characters, and saying "oh and that's a bad miss" every time they mess up

Worst thing about being an adult: awareness of dental hygiene. You know what's good after a long night of drinking. Chase toasties. You know what really dampens my vibe after a cheese toastie. Brushing my teeth. Yet I am compelled by the harsh embrace of maturity. Woe.
