thanks linus torvalds

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

anti-wellness checkpoint: i'm throwing water at your face. punching and wrestling you. have you eaten any gold foil today? your cell phone notifications miss you. your emails miss you. try starting an argument with your dad

i see this shit, the game goes in the bin, doesn't matter how much I'd enjoyed it or what my plans to write about it had been

The 1/2 last toast from the legend herself: Valhalla really really reeked of beer, but Jennell seems happy The other angels are tired of me saying “fight for the other users” while throwing my halo around - Becky

The last toast by the legend herself: I leave it up to you to go to lindken.com and look up Jennell Jacques, now look at her job description, goddess of technology… and fuck cancer, fuck it in the ass - Becky

We're sending out SUBSURFACE CIRCULAR Steam keys to creators who want to play the game on their channels this week. There's still time to get involved if you want to be one of them! Fill out the interest form below and we'll be in touch ⬇️

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays. Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons. @nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her: pathikablog.com/2025/04/26/h...

losing my mind over youtube's suggested reply for this comment

Spent the day watching some of her talks/streams telling stories about game development while I was waiting for the inevitable. Her programming skills were legendary and her storytelling was no different. Decided to compile some of those on this playlist. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Reading peoples' eulogies, what's strikes me is she wasn't just a legend, she was several: Interplay founder and Bard's Tale/Wasteland programmer, MacOS gaming savior, Doom 3DO porter, 1st esports champion, PlayStation kernel coder. For me, first-and-foremost, the creator of Tass Times in Tonetown.

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Burger Becky’s gofundme for cancer treatment is now for a funeral service. To my knowledge we’ve not yet lost her, but she has announced that her doctors have informed her there is nothing more that can be done

One highlight of my career, after sending her the 3DO Doom video, Rebecca Heineman leaked our video early! And it was an honor to have a Doom port dev leak a nearly finished video even though I had to reach out and say “thank you so much but, uh… not yet?”

Becky gave me the time of day when I was a 50-sub amateur wanting to interview her about Half-Life for Mac. She was so kind to me, she has done so much for the industry, and has always been an amazing source of positivity. Please help her family :(

Rebecca Heineman doesn't have much time left. If you can, please donate for her and her family to make end of life arrangements. One last kindness we can offer for a legend of the games industry and loud and proud trans woman: www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

Rebecca Heineman is a legend. If you’re playing video games right now then the work she has done has impacted you.

oh my god

Everyone send your love to the great Burger Becky while you can

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!

Israelis like to take over tourist spots in other countries. A lot of them are on holiday after serving in the IDF. We need to show them we don’t welcome war criminals. (Also they’re the rudest, worst tourists ever.)

Working on these tiles again for the last couple days.

idk man, when in doubt, it's a helluva lot easier and cheaper and more humane to invest in keeping people out of homelessness than to spend money pushing the unhoused around from damp sidewalk to damp sidewalk. rental/food assistance over sweeps all day any day www.opb.org/article/2025...

HEY friends: recently seen heaps of "disclosures" from AI companies of the energy cost per question you type into chatbots (most recently from Google)? Presenting per-query 'efficiency' is part of big tech's efforts to hide its extremely real and happening-right-now climate impacts! NEW POST -->>>

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/when-stick...
