Clair Obscur has made me appreciate how quickly Silksong kills me

congraulations to all of the winner at the game awards!

advent of code has finally forced me to learn the tiniest possible bit of ILP

“how much do you like northernlion” could be a DSM diagnostic criteria

is the talos principle really all laser puzzles

self.appendix = None;

you can just *write* software

okay it turns out it was actually dbus's fault which was actually gnome's fault

systemd is going to kill me

learning rust is like drinking the dune poison because you have a powerful psychic experience and then you find out if you're the only person who did it and survived who was still a man

i wasn't sold at first, but i think i'm starting to see the allure of punching a wall with your full strength now

one of my coworkers once asked me how i made good slideshows. i have two main rules: 1. content is king 2. readability is queen everything in your slideshow should be content or improve readability, and readability is attention engineering. some (opinionated) practical tips based on those rules:

god i hate declarative macros so much

Ball X Pit isn't bad per se, but it's all meta progression over skill expression and the game has a very extensive grind. Most of the time it plays like a carefully timed slot machine - one where playing well won't make you win, and playing badly won't make you lose.

too many crates have their own implementations of unicode data tables

who up abhorring they vacuum?

my dog can boost up to like 300fps if you hold food in your hand

Makuta has hypnotized Mata Nui, may the Great Spirit awaken the Matoran and help them see the evil doings of Teridax.

what most people don't realize is that kissing boys actually has negative expected value

i admit defeat, i don't think i'm ever gonna be able to steel soul silksong

Silksong is the best game I have ever played

The United flight departure safety video plays a ball rolling around a rube goldberg machine while people are trying to explain what to do in an emergency. It’s like when people play subway surfers alongside another video to keep people engaged.

you'll have to pry my complicated atomics from my cold dead hands

my goal this rustconf is to appear exceedingly normal

wash your clothes twice after contact with poison ivy!!!!

tests? i’m more of a correct-by-construction kinda guy

wait don't stop the AI yet i just found out that getting gemini to write me poetry is really funny (this statement does not reflect the views of my employer)

giving three people seven years to make a successful game is financially equivalent to giving seven people three years to make a successful game the future of games is long-term development, trading more dev time for lower cost and better quality. spin up more teams to make up for the long cycles.

super smash brothels

silksong releases during rustconf. this will either be very good or very bad.

i'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight, the silksanity is driving me crazy

I would simply make a nominal type system where some types cannot be nominaled

I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE IN SILKSONG

`sanity_check_buffer` is one of the most valuable pieces of code in rkyv. It's a function which checks really basic properties of a buffer before attempting to access data in it. The size and alignment checks are very rudimentary, and only run in debug builds. So why is it so valuable?

do eukaryotes have the biological equivalent of a monolithic kernel

wow! life is bad without caffeine!

mount horu is my new vietnam

once you learn enough about a large system you stop being an engineer and start being a mentat. like a brain devoted entirely to knowing and understanding this one thing, spending all its time fielding questions and making decisions but not actually making the ship literally move.

reminded today that the first rule of living is to avoid pain (caffeine withdrawal)

got skonged again 😔

this kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities

gaslight gatekeep gameboy advance sp

can we get github to ban bug reports generated by llms please

any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice

"is this what i think it is?" yes. every time. you think therefore it is. descartes beaming with pride from the grave.
