When you are so old you are expecting a post on ISO in cameras to be about, say, Ektar 25 vs 100 vs 400 and then realise it’s for digital 😀

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

What have we learned from history? Would people let a Trojan Horse through their gates today?

Jesus wept.

Are you guys ready for the war against war?

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

Word of the day is ‘fanfaronade’ (19th century): to strut and swagger about as if you own the stage.

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.

Just think how much more money they could have saved if they’d simply remembered their parents complaining about leaving lights turned on…

Relief as solution to shortage of tradesmen in London has been found, as new electrician apprenticeship scheme is off to a flying start.

Sigh… got to love these presumably) AI summaries in search engines these days…

And leaves the victim in ‘pain’?

All of my new followers who are confused hearing we have C23, C++23, and the bleeding-edge on the Sega #Dreamcast, here’s the FOSDEM 2024 talk in the GCC devroom about our quest to bring modern things to 1999 game console: archive.fosdem.org/2024/schedul... #gamedev #retrocomputing #cplusplus

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Technologically advance a band. The Bronze Roses

Friends and colleagues, I was impacted by the Xbox layoffs back in July. I'm am starting my job search in earnest now. Feel free to contact me with any opportunities in game design leadership and creative direction. (Or any other game design opportunities. Can't be too picky these days.)

Happy 26th birthday (in the US) little Dreamcast. You were a fantastic creation - the most elegant and powerful of your generation. Hype done you dirty, but we know the truth.

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor. In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.

Man, I know my outreach here is limited but I just got laid off at 2K after working on BioShock 4 for a year and a half. To say I'm gutted is a complete understatement. If anyone is in need of a friendly, fast and heavily driven animator with a lot of games experience please do let me know :)

@andrewwillmott.bsky.social Winding order error?

Beware! This might be an attempt by Big Brother to make a sound track for room 101

The rainbow is still elusive... But how about subsurface scattering the hard way? By rendering tiny diffuse particles (atoms?) to simulate the many internal bounces of the surface. Looks a little bit like sugar.

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. I like to think that ‘foreswunk’ is to be exhausted before you even begin.

Sometimes politics is simple. A man who speaks like an idiot will do idiotic things. That's really the sum total of the political analysis you need to understand what's happening today. But political commentators and investment advisers sought to make it more complicated.

If you've made 6 incorrect assumptions about your (old) code this morning, why not round it off before breakfast with another ?🙄🤦‍♂️

Every mind-bending TV show:

Popes get to pick their pope name when they popeate. There's been 23 Pope Johns, 6 Pope Pauls, 16 (or maybe 17!) Pope George/Gregory. Just saying - next pope has the opportunity to do the coolest thing ever.

US joins the group of rogue nations and basket cases that usually vote against UN resolutions in support of democratic Ukraine. Even authoritarian China abstained. Amazing how far the US has fallen under just a couple of months of Trump 2.0.

I read an article recently on the BBC about The Sims at 25 (gulp), which spent 2/3 of its length on a "both sides" debate about diversity, & only mentioned Will Wright. So here's a reminder that there were 3 designers on the game. Will, but also Claire and Roxy: blog.23andme.com/articles/two...
