Boo. I noticed CoPilot reappered at the top of Bing (yeah I know. Whatever) search results for me. Went to turn it off again. Couldn't find it in the settings anymore. It turns out they removed the option to turn it off.

Thank-you @pictoplasma.bsky.social, for the gift of Robert Yoghurt

Ahh the old "extracting the materials for a single marble from a toilet with a sledgehammer". Oldest marbling trick in the book. youtu.be/53w9E774fGE

It's good thissszzzzzzzzZZZzzzzZZzzzzzzzz⟆જ⁀𓆦

Ah of course. I've done this a bunch of times by mistake, but never clocked it was just happening on target and I always removed them thinking it was wrong or would do something inconsistent..... So you can just drag as many items to target as you like and it runs for each.

I just idly tried this as a joke & it worked. In Unreal Blueprints if you set a function's Target as an array of them, it calls it for each item!? Want to hide multiple things? Just give SetVisibility an array of scene components to hide instead of looping. Years without noticing this..... #gamedev

The Drifter does such a good job of knowing when to use animation and when a good VO will sell it and keep it cinematic. Really rating it so far. store.steampowered.com/app/1170570/...

UK playful pals & mutuals- we've been given a bit more capacity for our boutique Car Boot Casino night at Develop on Tues 8 July If you enjoy homebrew card & bluffing games, poker visors, janky prizes then ticket details are below: www.ticketsource.co.uk/booking/t-zz... Code: DOGPLAYINGPOKER

www.kickstarter.com/projects/who... Pretty tempted by this. It looks great & it's got such a pleasing looking action. It's compact & loopable compared with other logic marble things. But it also looks like a lovely toy if you just want to send some balls on a journey without getting too puzzley.

Hey, Apple asked me to check that you are OK and getting the emails about your iCloud storage being full? Apparently they've sent you loads for ages and you haven't replied or done anything.

Getting this. The demo for it a while back was great.

Since we are back at work in the UK today - it's a GREAT time to email your MP about the Supreme Court ruling and the threats to trans people as a result. I used this helpful guide to write to my MP. You should too. www.translegalproject.org/post/urgent-...

Ok. 2 exciting drinks reviews.. This one tastes like someone left a couple of strawberry laces in a can of Dr Pepper.

Oooh lovely. A few more monster's puzzles sounds good to me.

Hello hayfever, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a pollen softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the pollen that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of sniffling... And itchy eyes... Ya bastard.

You know what. I liked the Minecraft movie. It was... Good even. Maybe I was just expecting it to be so shit it skewed my gauge of it.

Hi! I'm a Freelance Concept/2D/UI Artist in the games industry. I was the UI Designer for Pacific Drive, and did some early UI vis dev concepts and design for the upcoming game 'Date Everything!' Poke me for projects big and small! Portfolio: www.saford.art Enquiries: [email protected] #art

Well here it is. I cracked open the ol' game & poured a few more cue balls in for a free update. 2-4 player local co-op and magnetic hole assists! In store now at 80% off! And Angus very kindly turned some embarassing footage of me into a trailer 🙏!

I just love a cool ball with legs

I swear Windows 11 just rolls a dice to decide whether today is a day pressing standby will power down & then just wake back up 2 seconds later on it's own. It's a pretty amazing. I have no hardware allowed to wake it and no wake timers & still it just pings back into life every time on random days.

Yessss! Pleased to be part of this. Pantaloon is a great way to get some weird and wonderful games for free in your inbox each month. And it coincides nicely with a Pool Panic update coming next week!

If you’re a #gamedev interested in #testautomation but don’t know where to start, I’m teaching this 1 day course in France at the end of Jan. You’ll leave with ideas both small and big that work for any budget and will help you understand why #automatedtesting helps not hinders iteration speed.

I don't mean to brag, but Bin nights have aligned absolutely superbly for me this Christmas. Not a single bank holiday rearranged collection from Christmas through to the new year. A true Christmas miracle.

It's #flockfriday again! Time for more of Richard Hogg's amazing concept art: The game is currently on sale on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1472930/...

Or the Blockbuster carpet Tweet. I wonder if that's still growing.

It should have been this Tweet really of my dog being stroked by a spooky hand. Gawd rest his soul. LJ was a cool dude.

A lot of people ask how I render the 3D cartoon balls in Pool Panic. It's actually just a simple simulated skeletal & cardiovascular system.

I love the style of this floaty 3D ASCII madness
