Hey, happy 30th birthday GameFAQs! Launched on November 5th, 1995! The earliest scrape I can find on Wayback is December 1996, but I doubt the site changed much. But yes, here it is in its earliest days as the Video Game FAQ Archive!

I've been using Rust for a little over a year now. When I look at my early code, a lot of it is really C/C++, but with Rust syntax. So I'm now rewriting the input/event handler for Siren. The resulting code is leaner, more efficient, and more idiomatic. 🦀 #rustlang #gamedev #gameengine

Alone In The Dark (1992) by Infogrames It was such a unique game at the time it launched. Needless to say my young self didn’t understand what I was supposed to do, but I loved the simplicity and the mood of the game. Spend hours exploring the manor and dying.

Looks like this was the right move for multiple reasons. #aws #awsoutage

You can learn every single thing that makes this possible. Every. Single. Thing. For free. #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d3T...

From the Mega Man 3 guide in Nintendo Power #20.

Just "upgraded" to Windows 11 and I can no longer dock my taskbar vertically on the side of the screen... a basic feature since Win95. (maybe earlier?) #xpwasthebest

My site, innerlogic.games, is an #Angular app that I was hosting in AWS. I just converted it to a prerendered site so I can use static hosting instead... It cut my monthly bill by 95%.

You used to be able to step through the VS debugger instantly. How about you focus on getting back to that instead of piling on more garbage like this? @developer.microsoft.com #programming #NoAI #ModernSoftwareIsEmbarassing www.infoworld.com/article/4058...

Stumbled upon a reddit post that basically said "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if they made a game like this!" ...and it's exactly my idea. It's encouraging that people in the thread love the idea. But I'm terrified that the idea is out there now, and I'm nowhere near ready to reveal anything. #gamedev

I think I need better friends. #MetalGearSolidDelta

Never ask a man his age, a woman her salary, or GPT-5 whether a seahorse emoji exists

I asked Claude a simple SQL question. After it answered, I asked, "Are you sure?" and then it gave me a completely different answer... PEOPLE USE THIS TO WRITE PRODUCTION CODE!! #NoAI #programming

My primary #gamedev project is still the Siren engine. But I also dabble with the #playdate a bit... I'm now wondering how feasible it would be to get some kind of version of Siren running on the Playdate via #rustlang bindings for the Playdate's C API.

“You’re all diamonds.” #DeathStranding2

Taking a much-needed week off from work. Finally time to relax, catch up on the backlog, and work on Siren.

Never forget today, when, on this day in 1988, Zero Cool crashed 1,507 systems in one day.

I was right to stop using github. www.finalroundai.com/blog/github-...

Get out of “tutorial hell.” Books (the actual paper kind), documentation, and practice are still the best ways to learn #programming.

The #deathstranding2 soundtrack actually has a song called 'Crab Battle.' 🦀🔪🐍

Gonna start using this. #gamedev #indiedev

A rare non-tech/game post… My wife and I recently had to say goodbye to Bruce. He was the raddest dog on the planet, and my best friend for the last 12 years. Words can’t express how much he’ll be missed. 💔

I can't believe it... The game is finally complete!!🔥🔥 It only took 3 years... What a marathon this has been😲 #indiegame #Indiedev #solodev #pixelart #indierpg #godotengine

Don't be a wimp. Skip #OpenGL and jump straight to #Vulkan. #gamedev

As I've been saying www.readtpa.com/p/the-grok-w...

This should be obvious and shouldn't need to be said. But AGI will NOT come from an LLM (if it ever comes at all.) When the day comes when Altman, or whoever, says their LLM has achieved AGI, they will be lying to you. Don't expect the media to fact-check them on it.

Rust isn’t hype anymore. It’s how Microsoft is securing Windows. How AWS is scaling Lambda. How Discord eliminated latency. Real stories. Real benchmarks. Real impact. 🔗 medium.com/@ashishjshar... #RustLang #CloudInfra #TechLeadership

I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it. moving a piece moves it for everyone, instantly. No turns. You can move between boards. that's it. Have fun! onemillionchessboards.com

So stoked for this! Hopefully this also means new music from Akira Yamaoka. #SilentHill

If you loved a game but didn’t say anything, the algorithm assumes you didn’t care. Visibility isn’t just views — it’s interaction. Let ‘em know.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

It’s been about 6 months... I should really get cracking on that new Siren devlog. 😬🦀 #gamedev #rustlang #professionalcrastination

Copilot was automatically added to my Outlook. The first and only thing I asked was, "How do I remove Copilot from Outlook?" ... It gave me the wrong answer. 🙄 #AI #ModernSoftwareIsMostlyGarbage

Metal Gear, Bloodstained, FF Tactics, Silent Hill f, MK Kollection, Mio, Mortal Shell 2, Fractured Blooms, Death Stranding 2, Resident Evil 9, Lies of P, Mina the Hollower, Onimusha... So much to be hype about this week! 🤤

AI companies steal from developers to generate code, the same way they steal from artists to generate art. If I copy code from a repo I'm not licensed to use, that's a fireable offence. But if an LLM steals it and I use the LLM, it's suddenly ok?? That doesn't make sense. #programming #noai

"The Playdate might be more of a Nintendo console than Nintendo’s own console. …and at half the price 😉 www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/play...

Can the AI bubble just burst already? I'm so tired of this nonsense filling my news feeds every day.

Taking a small break from #rustlang and #gamedev to mess with my #Angular CMS project that I've barely touched in the past year. Switching to a completely different tech stack is always so jarring. Maybe I should rewrite the CMS in Rust (with WASM)? 🦀
