I honestly cannot imagine a worse fate than being involved with this If this ever produces anything, it’s going to be the most awful, unfunny thing ever conceived. ET and Superman will rest easy knowing that Musk is taking up the cause with gusto

@robzacny.bsky.social Re: Linux - I'm a little behind on the podcast, but you might like the Bazzite Linux distro. It's what I switched to from Windows 11 and it's been pretty plug-and-play with playing games. Little bit of a learning curve just because it's an all new OS, but I've stuck with it

ebikes are just vaping for legs

Buying a clock tower bell and ringing incorrect times at random

I wonder if Microsoft has finally made Windows shitty enough to convince other companies to actually compete with them

Do we have a word for the thing that Wario is to Mario? “Nemesis” doesn’t really cover it

This is Colorado’s natural defense mechanism it uses to escape predators

I feel like I spend 80% of my development time trying to find the right antonym for a word like "inverted" only to find that there just isn't one #code #programming

age verification I have an @msn.com email address

@cooklang.bsky.social your site’s main page only shows markdown but not the resulting recipe. Hard to get excited about something I can’t see

This C&C Renegade HUD port is like a Russian nesting doll of dependencies I sat down to implement the radar and now I’m looking at how translation strings are loaded after falling down two or three dependency rabbit holes

Peak computing

Doom, She Wrote.

Guess I’m apparently the type of guy to argue with the city about its methodology for selecting crosswalk locations

Me, seeing nearly anything in the news

Anyone in the Windows division at Microsoft caught so much as even considering unhappy paths during development gets dragged out by security and beaten

Is “wet cathedral” as a euphemism for a toilet anything?

Battlefield 6 is pretty good

I wish clients could ever be trusted with anything. It would make my life so much easier

earnest indian man is a cornerstone of the internet. we would be nothing without him

Society doesn’t want you to know this, but playing Minecraft while listening to an audio book is just as wholesome and valuable of a way to spend a Saturday as reading that same book would’ve been

It’s beyond fucked up that we just made all men’s hats kinda cringe to wear The fedora neckbeard thing sealed the deal on that though huh

The cool thing about porting code from Renegade to Garry’s Mod is how they use different coordinate spaces which makes my life a living hell of my own creation

It should be illegal for my code to do things I don’t understand

Funny how you just need to break some angles to turn kitchen environment into a spaceship.

Bowls take up too much space in the dishwasher and I'm tired of pretending like they don't

They (the french) don’t want you to know that there’s an ancient Italian ritual (cooking) you can perform to get linguini (linguini)

@xboxp3.bsky.social It's disappointing that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 doesn't have its missions. I hope their inclusion is reconsidered. These are important games and they deserve nothing less than a full effort.

I counted and I am now 10 layers deep on getting halfway through implementing a function only to find some other function I need to implement before I can continue I’ve started using sticky notes as a stack to keep track of what I was working on before I veered off to implement some other thing

Sometimes I reply to the same person in my feed several times in a short time by happenstance and I feel the urge to try to communicate to them that it’s not a weird parasocial thing but there’s no way to do that without making it worse I choose to interpret this as healthy, normal, hot behavior

We need to come together as a people to fund research into making and shipping granola chunks that don’t get turned mostly to dust by the time they reach my bowl

qq where can i buy a used mime box?

You see a clogged shower drain. I see a free, ecofriendly foot bath ready for market.

Reminder that Alan Wake 2 is excellent

After 4 days of refactoring hell, my work-in-progress Renegade HUD finally renders again This feels like a great excuse to share a little progress video

I've got hands for anyone with a negative opinion of David Suchet's Agatha Christie's Poirot

@jeffgerstmann.com The problem with Borderlands is how do you write a good joke while still being identifiably in the tone of the series' many, many well-established and unfunny characters?

The bitcrushed "I am the one and only" .WAV file that was on every Counter-Strike server is going to be burned into my psyche until I die and I think that's beautiful

Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast. For more info right now, head over to www.giantbomb.com/join

Those old high school desk chairs with the hard plastic backs were legitimately exceptional for cracking my back and they’re the only part of the experience I miss

Converting C++ to Lua for this C&C Renegade HUD has driven me to create a little tool to help with some of the more repetitive parts of the process The code is super brittle and there's lots of room for improvement, but it's going to save me a lot of time in the long run

Made a whoopsie and bought the smallest amount of peanut butter Costco can legally sell you (two 55-gallon drums) while I still had the last pair of drums so now if I die they’ll think I was some kind of peanut butter fiend

I swear math.atan2 feels like cheating sometimes

A thousand curses on whoever decided to add these fun little weapon icons to the Command & Conquer Renegade HUD Because now I have to figure out a way to generate icons in that style at runtime for arbitrary user-created weapon meshes from the wild west of Garry's Mod

Screenspace reflections are wack and I don't like them The "tricks" used to hide things like first-person weapons are, more often than not, more jarring than if they had just left them in there I don't have a solution in mind, but I also don't think we're in a good place with reflections as-is

Happy Easter, Y’all

It was so psychically challenging to learn that in most game engines, there’s no such thing as 2D, just flat 3D that’s stapled to the camera and draws on top of everything

It's really healing to read the creator's official book on Lua because it confirms for me that I'm not crazy, the language does, in fact, just have some really baffling choices made in its design Looking at you, goto

VSCode's inability to monospace emoji is going to give me a stroke
