All my work on string formatting in Rust of the past few years is tracked in this tracking issue: github.com/rust-lang/ru... I wrote a bit about the history in blog.m-ou.se/format-args/ (two years ago). This latest change is github.com/rust-lang/ru... and includes some explanation.

How do people describe our game: - That Mario Kart minigame but with vacuum cleaners - A cute uncleaning game - Balloon-based friendship tester

We got told people are enjoying some balloon popping at #LGF25 🔪🎈 The fun isn't over and you can still play #Roombattle at @nowplaythis.bsky.social and Trafalgar Square!!!

Graphics Are So Impressive These Days...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r24... Your Indie Game on Console by Thomas O'Connor at GDC 2018 A bit old, it concerns the 8th generation (PS4 / One / 3DS), but I can say it's still mostly relevant 🧵1 #gamedev #programming

I'm laughing at this bug despite knowing I will have to fix it tomorrow 🧍👍

Today was office day but no one wanted to work 🖨️💻 #WishlistWednesday #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

It has been a week since Poststation launched. I took some time this week to write a blog post about my experience with it so far. Spoiler, I've loved it. Follow along to learn how I used Poststation with Rust 🦀 to display my computer's usage on a screen connected to a Pico 2!

Do you know why Online Programming is hard? It's just multithreading with more steps and with almost no synchronizing mechanisms apart from "Client Prediction" or "Lag Compensation". I swear I had to change 90% of the logic to add multiplayer to our game 😖 But I think it will be more bug-free now.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Long live #citypop and #anri Thank you for the best vibes

GB Studio is an amazing tool for making real Game Boy games. But what if Big Brother NES wants to play too? Now there's BB Studio - a hacked version of GB Studio, to run your GBS games on the GB's Big Brother! NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH WALL POWER. #gbstudio #nesdev #retrogaming

Oh no. I’m having another round of City Pop hyper fixation.

Can someone tell me why is this so real? It is almost scary 😰 Yes, I have an addiction on Rust and robot cleaning. I need help

A few people asked for my 🧵 on getting started with Rust 🦀 on the RP2040 in a different format. You can now find it on my website. If you caught the post then not much has changed. baileytownsend.dev/articles/get...

We're hiring! If you know a graphics/C++ engineer who wants to build a new CAD kernel, please apply or DM me for more about the role! The job is probably 2:1 ratio of C++ to Rust, but it can skew higher or lower depending on what you want to work on. zoo.dev/jobs/4478481...

Thanks to everyone for helping us reach this milestone ^^ We will continue to work full time to make this a reality 🙌

Okay I think I'm starting to handle lobby connections properly... At the end we are interacting with a Database so I ended up using a kind of DTO pattern to make sure the data is always updated. Now well... I think I need to test this? I'm scared 🙃
