Any trans people show up in the Epstein files yet? None so far. But I heard from various tabloid outlets that we need to protect children from trans people. Are some of these tabloid owners implicated in the Epstein scandal? Yes? You think their trans debate might have been a diversion tactic?

Omg the human expert made it better??!! /sarcasm

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “Why are we moving to Git again?”

As a Filipino, I can confirm that much outsourced digital labor in the Philippines consists of "remotely faking processes described as automated." Since these workers are contractually forbidden from disclosing this work, people remain continuously surprised by this in the year of our lord 2026.

Most of the Google Genie 3 discourse doesn’t seem to acknowledge that the demonstrations so far are all silent. So no, I don’t feel intimidated by it. Anyway… #gamedev

Neil Gaiman. Ick.

Don’t spend all day looking at screens - it’s bad for your eyes. *Unless it’s a workplace screen, in which case stay right where you are you little bitch.

Last week I discovered that the pub I’ve been going to for 8 years has a hidden cocktail bar. Tonight I got taken to another floor of the pub I had no idea was there before. It’s full of people I know. I don’t know what’s real anymore.

At this point, using ++ as a prefix increment in a for-loop is a kink for me. I can’t pretend that it isn’t. #gamedev

I have some oddly specific kinks. Like TFW you realize a cpp function that you hated writing is now not being called by anything and can deleted. Hnnnnhgghhhh #gamedev

Instagram is demanding that I buy SatinSkinTM CC cream, and now that you’ve read this it’ll probably demand it from you too.

If you’re wondering why Yahoo Mail has gotten laggy just now, it’s because I asked it to delete every unread mail from Humble Bundle.

Grok is so much worse than you think.

We’re going to shorten it to “bitch@“ I’ll calling it now. #bitchat

Fun #gamedev fact. In Sweden, games studios get ZERO tax relief. We pay the correct about of tax at all times. So yes, we’re more expensive to run on that basis than, say, a games studio in Canada, or indeed, France. www.cnc.fr/web/en/tax-r...

Wore my Canadian Mountie boots on the ice and snow today, and they were absolutely useless. Ended up crawling on my hands and knees to get to the park cafe.

Since GPUs and RAM prices are going through the roof atm, I’m considering overlocking options. Thoughts on this cooler?

Spent the flight back to Sweden coming up with joke names for Polish anti-poop products. Do these work? Dupa Blokin Krapow Plan Stopu Miekrevich Not that that I need them. I’m the opposite. That’s why, I use Kalasjnikrep™️

Sitting in a hotel in Krakow, watching TV. The science channel of Poland. Almost every commercial is a product that stops you shitting yourself.

I mean, if there was ever “gay sport” … Figure skating … 🤔

Whenever someone from an “AI” company has a declaration for “the entire software engineering world”, bear in mind that their coding experience is probably rather limited. *They* may not realize that of course, but for sure - legit software engineers are very cautious about making big assumptions.

Once a year I like to reflect on my privilege, growing up. Can I pick out one simple thing that I had access to that was an incredible privilege? Last week I remembered that in high-school, we started with 1x oscilloscope per class, and by the time I left we had 1x oscilloscope per student.

Once a year, I re-assess why I work in the AAA video games space. It is still to push the medium in a such a way that the savvy audience question how it could have been achieved - To capture that audience’s imagination in a such a way that they question everything they know about games. #gamedev

Christmas #gamedev story. When I joined a new project in 2020, myself and a bunch of Snowdrop people swept through the game looking for obvious performance wins. One of the odd ones was collisions with trees and plants, which shouldn’t have been a challenge as we’d done games with those before.

Seen in Malmö yesterday

If you’re not sure, have a look at this one again and think about how even the camera isn’t level on the tripod.

Well there it is. #gamedev #avatarfrontiersofpandora #fromtheashes

I’m in that point in my career where people pop up on Teams and nervously ask me how things are going, and I simply reply with a screenshot from p4v. #gamedev

OMG Rob Reiner and his wife have been found stabbed to death. 😱 www.lbc.co.uk/article/rob-...

Now that I’m non-dairy milk only, I’ve starting to notice a few places that don’t serve it. E.g. It’s absence in McDonalds is pretty odd. Like, am I supposed to carry around my own carton? I only need a little. Ok no? Well I guess I’m drinking black coffee then.

Is a spiked pink leather dog collar too much for a work Xmas party? Asking for a friend.

I’ve many args against the way gen AI is being positioned and marketed (I am OK with ML in general). My favorite is to ask where the process is when using these “tools”. All products (even art) come from process, and with that there are artifacts you can iterate on. Why do some clients not see that?

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS. Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

What is the point of Pinterest really? If I touch anything I set off a bunch of boobytraps that send bots after me. Not even high tech LLM bots. Cheap scripted ones. If you’re going talk me into something, try a bit harder than Elisa here.

My buddy at work has reverse engineered the prompt that gets Copilot to recommend changing the name of Perforce’s “Swarm” to “P4 Code Review.” Now, we aren’t saying that’s definitely what happened, but… No smoke without fire… 😝

Greed. That’s why we can’t have nice things.

Legit - I once opened a support ticket about the Error List reporting errors that didn’t exist in the output window, and the support engineer at MS advised me to ignore the Error List window entirely.

Visual Studio’s “Error List” is the cockroach of multiform application windows isn’t it? Does it help me? No. Do I want it? Also no. Can I kill it? Only briefly, and then it pops right back up again. I even rearranged my aggregated layout to not have it, and it found a way to reappear in a new slot.

The year is 2025. You’ve accidentally performed a “Replace All” with blank instead of a “Find All”. Due to a bug in the IDE there was no Undo step recorded. #horrorstory #gamedev

I’m calling it. “Casual Breakthrough” is the only true hardcore mode in BF6. Only your deaths count towards your stats, not your kills. Who are these pussies with a K/D above 1.0? Show me how well you play when your kills mean nothing. Only objectives matter!

Splash Damage places entire studio into consultation ahead of extensive layoffs: www.gamesindustry.biz/splash-damag...

YouTube are never going to fix their volume control to make it sound natural are they? YEAHYEAhYEAhYeah *gone*

For reasons that I suspect are stress related, every time I do a GDC talk I gain 20-22kg in the run up to it, then lose the weight afterwards. At some point I hope to not look so fat when being recorded for posterity. It’s jarring. #gamedev

It’s been nearly a day since my digital audition and I’ve got not response from Taika or his “people”. Frankly, I’m disappointed.

Taika! This is my Judge Dredd audition @taikawaititidaily.bsky.social

Idk why devs are so ready to give away all their intellectual ownership to platforms that will one day screw them over. Yes, graft is graft, but also it’s your freedom and independence.

When you show someone some amazing new tech you’re working on, and they assume you’ve faked it, that’s projection right? Asking for a friend.
