Laptops?! I need to use my desktop computer with 3 x 27" screens for airplane tickets.

Cleaned up my internal fork of the Wren language called Lom, and published here: github.com/mattiasljung... Added some basic gfx web example here: mattiasljungstrom.github.io/lom/ (based on thirteen.h) Key differences: multiple return values, re-entrant code, optimizations, C11.

When you had to cancel your GDC talk but it reads like you cancelled every indie funding opportunity instead. Lollll fuck 😬😬😬😬😬😅😅😂😂

Hey All, I made a header only C++ library (MIT) where line of code inits, then you can start writing to pixels on the screen. I call it thirteen.h, inspired by the simplicity of the 13h days. Examples include a mandelbrot viewer and a playable mine sweeper game. github.com/Atrix256/Thi...

In case you missed yesterday, Notepad++ auto-update mechanism was hacked and was delivering backdoored versions for a couple months. Tons of devs use this, uninstall completely what you have, search for the sus files mentioned in article and only download from official site

Things websites/apps incorrectly assume about language: You have only one native language. Your nationality defines your native language. Your native language is your preferred language. You always use the same language. You will never mix languages in the same sentence.

"average indie game dev gets an IGF nomination" factoid actually just statistical error. AP Thomson, who lives in a cave and got 9 nominations over two years, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

The worst part of web apps on the desktop is this constant need to sign-in. I already sign in to win11, my drive is using bitlock, I'm ok with my music player storing my credentials forever on disk.

So this happened in Oslo yesterday. Four articulated buses got stuck in a roundabout.
