ios 26 and its slow performance is going to make me switch to a dumb phone just like Windows 11 has completely turned me off of windows. It's Linux and Nokia phones for me. I guess I still like Macs though, for now...

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

I felt like making a video reviewing code and talking about how I made Brick Game for the Game Tank 8-bit homebrew console youtu.be/oDXUrM_fypY

This is the coolest thing I've watched in a long time. Make sure you watch until the end LOL! youtu.be/PKsI-00DAvA?...

If you're interested in old Atari paddle games from the 70's, or modern retro 8-bit gaming consoles, or maybe Steam Deck, or USB, maybe you'll be interested in my vlog youtu.be/0-PBiwsiqcg?...

My favorite conversation with AI goes like this: me: "Hey AI can you check this code?" (forgets to paste any code) AI: <answers the question anyway>

I saw a clip of Quake 3 Arena just now and I think video game technology didn't need to improve after that. Now I want to build a game in the Quake 3 engine LOL!

When I hear the doors go ding-dong on the New York Subway I hear Super Mario Bros music

I made a video where I ramble about paddle controllers for 8 minutes 🤓 youtu.be/K40vP6zS1WY?...

We're living at a time where an old friend reaching out in Facebook Messenger after 35 years has to work very hard to convince me they're not AI or a scammer 🤔

Playing Activision's Kaboom! for Atari on my RG35XX-H retro handheld running MuOS Banana using an atari style paddle controller built out of spare parts and a KB2040 youtube.com/shorts/zfNub...

I've been doing therapy for 3 years with the same therapist. I use betterhelp which has a journaling feature. I automatically share my journals with my therapist so all of my entries are like a conversation with her. I don't think that was the intended use but it kinda works I guess.

I think my windows 10 box just tricked me into thinking I had already upgraded to windows 11 which I had been avoiding like the plague. But looks like I'm upgrading now because ... I'm an idiot. smh

I wonder how much of our resources get burnt every time someone says "good morning" to their AI Assistant, or makes small-talk in general

I made a custom usb paddle controller over the weekend to play my Breakout inspired game in GameTankEmulator. I got it working in Retroarch on my Ambernic retro console but it put up quite a fight. The gut shots are old from when I had fewer buttons and a rumble motor. The brain is a KB2040 🤘

The nice thing about being both hardware and software nerd is I can always work on software when I'm too tired for hardware or vice versa

Hardware update. I finished assembling my GameTank Paddle pcb and 3D printed a basic enclosure. Working on the atari style paddle now

I dreamed about code again and woke up with a fix for an issue I wasn't looking for XD So I implemented the fix while having my morning coffee LOL!

Dang, I just fixed a bug that I introduced while over-engineering a new mechanic. I flipped when I should have flopped! 🤦‍♂️

I watched Pixels on Netflix and actually enjoyed it. What makes me happy is knowing I can buy a physical copy at the Thrift store for $2 because nobody else will want it XD

I'm dipping my toe into the world of open source hardware. I posted my schematic and pcb layout for gtPaddle this week and it feels pretty good. What should I design next? github.com/dshimmyo/gtP...

I'm targeting a pretty small audience of GameTank C developers interested in analog paddle inputs, but here's a video I made talking about it youtu.be/tTCm1KsdLGs?...

The great thing about all these startups vibe coding their apps using AI is that every day is like Y2K ;)

I hate how my podcast library has "latest" and "most recent" and I never know which one to click on

All set up for day 3 at PAX East! We've a whole swath of GameTank games to check out at booth 22035. Look for the trio of tube TVs across from that *other* first-party console developer. 😉

I've been doing a little generic research for future programming projects and now I think I might have to check out raylib. Sounds like a really fun way to code!

I dreamed about code all night. I know exactly what I'll be working on today ;)

This is the final design for the pcb of the paddle controller for the GameTank open-source homebrew 8-bit console

After 3 weeks of troubleshooting a prototype paddle controller for the GameTank, I got it working. I got excited and made this video demo real quickly. If you're into 8-bit consoles or 6502 programming or retro gaming this might excite you too youtu.be/vT51hbeiXEk

I wonder how many baby names will be AI generated this year

I had a thought today about AI art. I like art because of its connection to the artist. When I see/hear amazing art I become obsessed with the artist. AI gen art removes that connection. What they've reduced art to is content generation for clicks, not appreciation and inspiration

There's still time to grab a GameTank Developer Kit at the campaign price! www.crowdsupply.com/clydeware/ga...

Sharing an old classic youtu.be/qoLS9We9hl4?...

I made a video about how to make colorful (and stable!) patterns on a TV with a breadboard.

For the past few weeks I started getting into software development for the gametank homebrew 8-bit console. I wanted to make a paddle game so I built a paddle using an arduino as a test and it worked! Now I'm building a new prototype using an ADC and hope to have it assembled in a couple days

It's my birthday btw you should get the game console I made :3 www.crowdsupply.com/clydeware/ga...

Wouldn't it be cool if in some public space there was a futuristic looking sculpture made out of solar panels? And theoretically that energy would get stored or used to power lighting?

Clyde, the maker of the Gametank homebrew 8-bit console shared about my gamepad hack in his latest Crowdsupply update. It's an awesome console for retro gamin enthusiasts and devs www.crowdsupply.com/clydeware/ga...

One of the nice things about getting older is you get to experience pooping in a box and mailing it so they can study it

Why are triscuits triangles now? Must be shrinkflation 😢

In my experience word-of-mouth is the way to get jobs in any decade. Talk to as many people as possible and show/tell them what you're working in. Good luck out there!

When I was in college we used to schedule chats with our friends at other schools using VAX terminals like we were in an old scifi movie from the 70's LOL!

I'm watching Idiocracy. It feels like I'm being flushed out of The Matrix

I forget to post on this platform but more and more the other platforms are turning to shit. So here I am! Woohoo! I recently welded metal and made this thing! Heavily inspired by the Millennium Falcon

I've just discovered The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K on Netflix. Where are my peeps?

Today I watched The Core and picked up Billy Madison DVD at the Thrift shop. It is a good day!

What's with all the broccoli haircuts?

A was recently laid off from a job in game development. I guess I'm sort of burnt out by tech so I've been trying to work on more tactile things. My most recent project is this metal hand that I made in welding class. It is constructed from 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch square steel rod and welded together

My feeds have devolved into mostly creators responding to their haters

Someone saw my iPhone 13 Mini and asked if I got some latest new high tech miniature iPhone. I was like, no, this is 4-year-old tech because Apple doesn't make small phones anymore LOL!
