Got to hang with my buddy @andrewpla.tech for another PowerShell Wednesday (third time if I remember correctly)! We give you a pair programming session working on a terminal-based platformer game written entirely in PowerShell: PSPlatformer! #powershell #gamedev www.youtube.com/live/OR1jJGE...

I'll take a stab at mine: 1. Chrono Trigger 2. Secret of Mana 3. Donkey Kong Country 2 4. Mega Man X 5. Earthworm Jim 2 6. Final Fantasy VI 7. Super Game Boy (not technically a game) 8. NBA Jam 9. Hardball 3 10. Kirby Super Star

Somehow missed that Canva acquired Serif. Tried to download my paid for Affinity software to find it's free now thanks to Canva. Like, all three suites. Not sure what I feel about this. Been an Affinity faithful for a long time. This seems... Not good. Prepping for enshitification... Maybe.

There was a massive amount of hype around what Persona 5 was going to be when it was announced. There was even this so-called Fan OST that went around on YouTube. Stumbled on this yesterday from that vault. It's snazzy! youtu.be/pPMoAO-h3gQ?...

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Well played Copilot. Well played.

For absolutely no reason at all, I wanted to try my hand at F# and did so by yanking some ANSI Escape Sequence code from my PowerShell game and translating it. A few hours later, I had a neat little program. Most likely not the BEST F#, but whatevs. github.com/gregoryfmart...

Cooking some inventory screen changes during lunch today. #gamedev #powershell #textbased

Time for some Black Adder.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

LOL Cleaned out my pantry and found these two hanging out way back on the top shelf. Competitive programming back in my youth. #programming #fightme

100%. Nothing cooler than getting to the register only to be told you can get X thing because SNAP won't cover it.

I was a food stamp kid, 100%. I'd wager some of these douches vying for its demise were also. Nothing quite like patting yourself on the back for depriving people, especially children, access to food.

@dotdot.horse challenged me to a contest of skill. I accepted. Eldoria. She is now... TOASTED! Thanks to @toastit.dev for the awesome BurntToast library! For giggles, Eldoria will use BurntToast to create and update a toast during battles. :) youtu.be/ImB9gd61rlo #gamedev #powershell

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Having a really hard time figuring how these tech companies are laying off because of AI. Have you *used* AI tooling for practical purposes?

Reading this for the first time. It's a great summary of the AI landscape from the perspective of philosophy and ethics. mitpress.mit.edu/978026253819... #ai

@allwayshype.com Just listened to the recent PowerShell Podcast episode and it was awesome! BTW - shoutouts to MySpace code editing (I did the same thing back in the day). Gradient background CSS FTW.

New item inventory management screen 95% done. Just need to add the item drop confirmation dialog. #gamedev #powershell

My wife shared this with me and I’m tellin you… it’s worth the read.

Come join me (virtually) at next week's RTPSUG meeting where I'll be talking about the past, present, and future of #BurntToast www.meetup.com/research-tri... #PowerShell

📢 2 days to go! Submit your CFP, tag a peer with a great idea, and share this to spread the word! #PowerShell #PSHSummit26 #Tech

Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

We be cooking today. New status menu and (not pictured) revamped battle engine. #gamedev #powershell #textbased

Q: Why did you cut snap and health care research? Rep. Flood: We do not have unlimited money in the United States. [Crowd booing]

💯.
