I'm in Denver and need a home... 24petconnect.com/DetailsMain/...

Why spend ~$100 to replace my current phone, which I'm quite happy with, when I could spend $1000 for a new phone? I don't have a job.

When in softdev circles you often have to look up to see if a bug/issue/feature request is already being tracked. It's kind of a dumb system full of expectations that the onus is on you to already know if the database already has these details in there. This is to the point where people ask if ....

Wish I could drive to and meet up with UPS/Amazon/FedEx/etc trucks and just pick up my packages. No need to stop at my place and walk to my door, I got you bu.

That's some nice San Diego weather out there, yum! Wait I'm in Seattle... (Jk, it's 42 degrees, I'm cold and my cat wants the doors and windows open.)

Roombas still get stuck going over a quarter inch thick piece of carpet while cleaning up dog hair, I don't know how these people are actually expecting bipedal robots to work in households.

You can't have 3 hrs of epilogues!

Do you seriously not think this is punk as hell? Not joking, serious as hell, this is punk af. taleoftales.itch.io/the-graveyard

Working in the game industry, entertainment at all really, is the middle finger to society in the end. It's punk as fuck folks. You got your haters, you have your corporate overlords, and all for a choice. Let me entertain you for no real economic value in the end. Be yourself. Play my game ...

@legalminimum.bsky.social has a book coming out (when?!) that actually will have some of the details of this thread but from the other side. He's actually impacted my life (good and bad!) more than anyone should have when we haven't met face-to-face yet Eventually we'll hit a good local steak house

#gamedev Transferring this from a 2023 thread on Twitter (x.com/ubahs1337/st...) Shadowrun 2007: Xbox 360 and Windows Vista Some small developer stories...

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?" "A secret cabal of pedophiles and their technofascist donors tried to take over the world with a senile racist clown puppet and shitty auto-complete." It sounds really stupid when you put it like that.

Man, wow. I left a small mark on so many amazing IPs: Shadowrun, Halo, Destiny, Marathon, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong, Super Mario, Guild Wars, Legend of Zelda, Ridge Racer, Pikmin, Pokémon, Metroid, Half-Life, Tron, Fable, Kirby, etc. What a life in this industry. I'm so ridiculously fortunate.

Marathon was the 50th game I had any part of in its development. It's one of my earliest, most favorite, IPs as well.

Need a space ship mechanic game, but you're repairing parts of ships like the Enterprise or Babylon 5. I love Hardspace and its ilk, but I want magnetic boots on the hull of the Enterprise-D, or fixing floors 15-18 type stuff as well.

I miss warm creamed corn in a can from a vending machine for $0.75.

There are a lot of really good people here! Proud of them and their work, they worked so hard to make something special. Good job everyone! www.bungie.net/7/en/Maratho...

Threw away* 39 empty pill bottles that were just from my office desk area. Bedroom has even more... Seems like a broken system in the end. *special recycle setup - not in trash

Does anyone here use any of the cloud glacier-type storage features for long term personal storage?

Only time I've ever bought season tickets for a team was where a relative became the head coach and I don't really -need- to buy season tickets anymore. (Not that a head coach hands out season tickets, but you can often get friends/family tickets due to that being on a team.)

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

Reading a new LitRPG book series and the dude looking at new armor stats in the middle of a battle with a ton of spiders really hits home. (He Who Fights With Monsters)

The Sony Hit-Bit 101 is the most beautiful computer ever made.

Hmmm, are these wires live even with the switch off? *tap* GFCI screams and dies with a *pop*. Sweet, not anymore.

*DON'T USE WINDEX ON LCD MONITORS* ... *squirt*squirt*cups ear*squirt* What? Can't hear you over the sound of my Windex!

Calm down. Take a deep breath. ... NOW scream in frustration. Don't waste a good scream on a partial breath like an amateur angry person.

Every time I go on vacation without my partner I come home to some house project she started, and I get to help finish. This time the guest bathroom (MY bathroom) was in pieces. Turns out I get to install a new medicine cabinet and redo some wiring tomorrow, woo.

Predator: Badlands is a ton of fun. Probably the most PG-13 of them all, mostly YA action friendly, some humor, great world building.

It's bad enough that they're evil, but do they have to be such dorks too? God the history books are going to be so embarrassing.

Gamecenter's Pachislot Corner is fully operational! Play a range of machines from yesteryear in a no risk, fun environment! These machines are solely for amusement, so no additional payment is required: we have buckets of tokens next to each machine!

"What are you eating?!" /me: *chewing*"mmmasheughs" "Are you eating cashews again?!" /me: *panic*chews faster*another handful*"meafmeofone!"

It's even funnier if you read the full bug report "A dwarf who is stressed but does not gain a good thought from shouting at someone in charge seems to prioritize shouting at someone in charge over any other activities."

Chrono Trigger is such a cool name.

/cat: *saunters downstairs and stands next to window* /cat: Open this fool, I wish to sniff through the screen /me: It's winter, it's cold! /cat: DO IT! /cat: *leaves seconds after window is opened* /me: *quietly closes window after she leaves* /cat: *yells across the house* I said open you fool!

It's always fun discussing game design decisions with folks, especially when you have solid input. Should we do checkpoints or a save system? How do we do multiplayer with that decision? Decision A will change the menu setup but be easier on QA. B will give us this and this Miss this, been awhile

Four ocular migraines in the last week, started after getting back from Japan. Hmmmm, not fun!

How can the video game industry be bigger than Hollywood and also have just lost 1/3rd of its work force in a couple years due to layoffs?

Glad I just get unfollowed or muted when saying something stupid versus my stupidity being reskeeted out into the world to a larger audience. I'm doing something wrong right!

Did they have street racing when everyone rode horses around town?

On the 5th floor of some store, which mainly just has young women buy idol stuff, is this booth... If you go into the booth, it's empty except for a keypad... *bam* Speakeasy! Osaka is my favorite city.

I was recently at a small bar in Osaka, Ignition, 5-top only place. Usually filled with Australian tourists. Other day there was a Korean bartender, Japanese bartender, Australian, me, and a couple from Indonesia... Talking for an hour and I eventually said "fuck trump" All of them "Oh thank God"

White families man... "I'm back from vacation, how're my lovely folks doing?!" Mom: Good! I don't need brain surgery, that's nice. "Wait...what?!"

It's just bonkers that you can wake up on one side of the planet in the morning and end up on the other side of the planet on the same day (even earlier than when you left sometimes).

Rock climbers are crazy people, aren't they?
