So, in December I will be rebuilding from scratch the third PC I ever owned, back when I was a teen. An AMD Athlon K7 Slot A PC, with a Voodoo 3 3000, Soundblaster Live with Live Drive and a huge, two foot tall case. My original MB that I'll be recapping with Rubycon's:

It wasn’t until I was much older that I realized that all Americans pronounce “kudos” hilariously incorrectly. Like not even close…

Upgraded my ipad to 26.1 and... nope. I still hate liquid glass.

I don't care that it's not Halloween anymore. MORE GABRIEL KNIGHT! www.twitch.tv/princesspear...

YouTube videos are getting pretty close to recipe websites for boring fluff filler before getting to the part we actually want.

a lot of ppl are deeply confused about my beliefs so for anyone curious — my beliefs can more or less be summed up as rejecting this statement and everything associated with it.

A game developer legend is looking the grim reaper in the eyes. It won't be much longer before the world relegates the amazing talents of Rebecca Heineman to the history books. I would advise that if you have anything to say to her before her passing to do so now. A really sad ending. :'(

"Competition leads to building better games rather than employing fewer people" 「CITATION NEEDED」

Some of ya have never even hung out with college football players, much less pro-athlete NFL players and it shows. I doubt most people would be able to move the chains against their local high school team.

burger becky is one of the single most important and most prolific people in video games and a trans icon. she's really suffering, if anyone can donate to make her oncoming funeral as graceful for her family and loved ones as possible, that'd rule

The foundational belief of the Quakers is that every human carries the ability to experience the divine, whatever form that takes, directly and that all humans share a connection to an “inner light”, or the presence of the divine. I do not find that to be untrue. Or even controversial.

Please consider helping Becky cover final expenses. She's done so much for our community... www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

I’ve been seeing variations of this since circa-2005, who’s using 1.44mb floppies? (I mean I do; I’m definitely not the norm) just surprising we never agreed/came up with better visual language for “save/load” and we are still using a skeuomorphic icon of a thing nobody has used in two decades. 🤷

Two. Cartridge. Slots. What I think I want to do is take the 8MB /CS6 address space, and split it into two 4MB regions, one for each cartridge slot.

This is huge news for the rest of the world, and I'm happy for humanity in general---my dad was a microbiologist and antibiotic resistance has been a huge priority for the field as long as he's been in infectious disease control.

Rebecca Heineman @burgerbecky.bsky.social needs to be transfered by helicopter to a medical center where they can better treat her cancer, which means her gofundme needs $20k more. please give to support this trans game dev elder if you can!

DHS was founded in 2002, it is not a pillar of "historical" American governmental departments. We just made it up one day... It was unpopular even at the time of its founding with a significant number of Americans. We can unmake it.

Such a cute and small motherboard 😁. Also it has a laptop hdd inside which is really funny. The case is empty inside lol. The model is ga-e530n

I remember somebody trying to tell me back in like 2015/16 that after Hillary, we’d see the first bisexual person elected to the presidency in the United States in my lifetime. A) what a simple time it was B) bro, not like this *this*!

It bothers me that Speechify, the app was created not for the blind community (because that would have made sense) but for normal people to scan books and read pages in your favorite celebrity voices for a price meanwhile we are still struggling to get decent apps for the community to just survive.

Went to an electronics recycler. They had a few neat things

I know it's not the coolest thing to bring up and not many people seem to care, but my website is hosted in a local datacenter powered entirely by wind energy and certified under ISO-14001. So my #gameassets are a good choice if you care about the environment 🌲

well, now I just really want a windows 2000 install laserdisc.

connecting caverns

Some animation variations and improvements to the locomotion system

Today I realized: Shaq would have totally bodied Chewie in the paint back in the day. 🏀

Happy Birthday to Wendy Carlos, who popularized the Moog synthesizer and a pioneer in electronic music!

Some may not realize it, but the #PicoGUS and #PicoIDE logos are in a custom typeface that I made based on the Gravis logo from the Ultrasound Plug & Play box.

Last week I saved a Mars colony and now I have to save… Australia? Continuing The Journeyman Project (it’s even running smoothly now!) www.twitch.tv/robotspacer #Twitch

White people thinking they “invented” the turkey dinner, like roasting a bird is like some miraculous thing only white people do, is abjectly so miserable I cannot wrap my brain around it.

Tidied the collection a little.

3D artists, show your wireframes!

Baked some sourdough, for the road.

Just woke up from a nap-dream where my dream-partner called me “the best non-Dad Dad-dad” which… made sense in the dream, I guess. It’s been a while since i was temped to want to stay in a dreamworld, but that was definitely one of them. Always feels strange to wake up and bleed back into reality.

We are excited to announce a new range of official Hob's Barrow merch, available exclusively from the Adventure Game Merch store! Featuring beautiful new artwork by the legendary @slipperyjack.bsky.social, we have a little something for everyone! Do check it out ⬇️ adventuregamemerch.com

as an American, the two British foods that dont get nearly enough play over on this side of the pond: Yorkshire Pudding and Bacon Sarnies. Both are top-tier.

wow, more cute kitties!

BETTER LETTERER batch 6 for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

The mere fact that I can install whatever OS I want on the steam console without jumping through a ton of jailbreaks and hacks makes it more useful, recyclable and accessible than the vast majority of consumer electronics I’ve bought in the past decade.

Must be some absolutely wild the-birds-and-the-bees talks happening right now in “conservative” households with 13–15 year old girls. “You see, my dear daughter, when a 50-year-old billions is “in love” with a ‘barely legal’ minor, like yourself…”

"realism" in game mechanics isn't always better, but sometimes giving the player somewhat realistic consequences for the choices they make is actually the best and most fun way of motivating the player to engage with a mechanic!

The things people said to me when I worked customer service...oof. I'll consider caring about machines' feelings once people care about other people.

I think the thing thats skeeving me out the most about the Arc Raiders LLM AI voice generation thing, is seeming how many people are walking on eggshells to avoid criticizing the studio about it. Sure, there are people critical of the decision and talking about it and they've mostly been civil.

welp, didn't quite make it through page 3 today but i made good progress all the same. 20% done!

i have been eating a lot of beans and rice, but i have been putting effort into doing budget food well (and keeping it varied, which is important).

Had a wonderful conversation with the always charming @juliaminamata.bsky.social about creating adventure games and the timeless appeal of "Over The Garden Wall"! youtube.com/live/rStytuu...

Spontaneous selfie opportunities.
