Let's talk about the late great Becky Heineman and some hidden easter eggs! I grew up playing her games (Bard's Tale!) and her impossible Apple IIGS ports (Out of this World, Wolfenstein 3D!). I remember getting to interview her when I was reviewing her IIGS remake of Ultima I...

cannot wait for someone to make a faceplace for this that's a screen that shows marquee/box art of the currently running game. nobel prize stuff but for emulation sickos. bsky.app/profile/this...

PSA: Thrasher (co-created by Brian Gibson from Lightning Bolt/Thumper) is now out on Steam instead of being trapped on the Quest and Vision Pro. Highly recommend it if you like either OSU!, Jeff Minter, Saliva nightmares, or those cat toys that are a fluffy thing on a stick. Also it is 9 dollars.

Iggy was an invaluable tester and contributed so much to the project. He was absolutely brilliant in the game and came up with so many original strategies we had never considered. Please help us spread the word and as we help find him a living kidney donor. 💙

The new Baja Blast pie gets a 4/5 from me (Mtn Dew Embassador™) I wish it was more zesty 😔✨️

2020 me: quibi? lmaoooooooo who’d ever watch this?? 2025 me: hey siri, what Apple TV app do I use to watch “Emperor of Welding”, the 80-part snackable minidrama about a guy who navigates royal intrigue solely by welding things, please help as I have only seen part 24 and am invested

very glad GDC is cheaper, but also having a sensible chaotic chuckle that there's now essentially a GDC Fast Pass where you pay the old ticket cost but get to skip lines for the big events.

love 2 leave myself important game development notes in notepad that I stumble upon a week later

took my first cursory peek at "linux on the desktop" in literal decades to see what's new, and was surprised that nobody has mentioned the biggest incentive to switch: you can turn on an option that makes the windows all wobbly when you move them around.

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI. Tiny 'making of' vid here - youtu.be/_2RacX9DgWM...

if anyone happens to be in the market for a Software QA Engineer, GIS knower, or a Geophysicist with heaps of experience and good at wearing many hats, I'm your boy. I must go Meditate on this morning's happenings, godspeed to you all

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Monday was my last day at Vox Media which, after 14 years, feels wild to say out loud. But here I am! I'm looking for my next role, so if you think that may be with you please reach out! You can DM me here, or find me on LinkedIn, or email me (chrisgrant @ this domain).

just like you guys, i put my pants on one leg at a time, leaning against a wall, losing my balance, falling to my knees, yelling “FUCK”, rolling over onto my butt, turning back onto my knees, trying to get back up, grabbing the TV stand for support, attempting to catch the TV, yelling “FUCK” again,

Hello. About a year and a half ago, some guy called Ralph asked me if I wanted to make a new videogame website. We're launching it today. Maybe you can even visit it if people stop hammering the server for a second.
