Oh, really? I wonder if their massive, cheap houses helped at all with this process

Morning! xx

I find it very sad that there are somehow still people out there who are morally opposed to emulating games. I'm sure the developers who won't see any of the hundreds you would potentially pay for for a preowned retro game would rather you just play their work by whatever means necessary.

I made a game tonight, so addictive, i don't dare release it. So amazing, so fun, so insightful, IT WILL DESTROY THE INDUSTRY!! I DO NOT DARE RELEASE IT! But if you pay me $1m you can play it... (I am learning marketing from Anthropic.)

Such a pity that so many white middle-aged men idolised by Nigel Farage have turned out to be criminals with convictions in bribery, assault, money laundering, fraud, rape, sex trafficking ... meme via Martin Tailby

anyways here's my shirts & now I can officially say people love them 🙂‍↕️

If you want to iterate faster and ship more stable builds, you should learn about writing automated tests. I'm offering a few one-day public workshop on test automation in video games, for both unreal and unity devs, Pay What You Want. automatedaf.dev/workshops

Canadians are boycotting American goods and buying Canadian. Like this potato.

I really like it when Nintendo releases consoles with designs based on other consoles. This is the Famicom version of the GBA Sp, and it’s awesome!

Happy Chocolate Egg day!

Dear people of the UK, when you go to vote on May 7th, just before you write the X in the box, count to 10 & think about what's happening in America. A quick recap below: Sadly there will be those who will vote for this unwittingly down South, But the Scottish should almost certainly reject this.

Just discovered a super interesting talk from last year's Unite by @superpig.bsky.social which I missed til now... If you want to understand how memory operates on modern computer hardware, & get some ideas for (potentially) huge CPU optimisations, then you could do a lot worse than watching this!

Happy Egg Day.

100 billion percent this

Dear @ofcom.bsky.social, Please tell me again how GB News does *not* break rules of balanced reporting?

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create. Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable. James Dyson is a scumbag.

A game that shouldn't exist, found on a discarded 1995 CD-ROM. And you just installed it. Forbidden Solitaire - a card-flipping dungeon horror from the creators of Ancient Enemy and Home Safety Hotline. Coming soon to Steam + GOG #comingsoon #steam #indiedev

I'm sorry to be so "Old Man Yells at Cloud," but please just let me ask, do you remember when the menu bar was at the top and everything was up there? Why do we want a menu on the left, and a menu on the right? Now there are little menus sneaking up from the bottom? Who do I report this bug to?

Okay. An important moment for us, if you’ll indulge me with a repost. It’s time to start the very first whisper of noise about our next game. It’s a mailing list! But it’s a mailing list that I’m hoping will be a bit different than what you’re used to. mailchi.mp/bithellgames...

Incredible.

As usual, science provides good news. Gee, it's almost like science is a good concept that betters mankind.

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

LEGO, or, Danish Caltrops.

Want a non-problematic term for stupid people? "Muppet." And you know what - it's justified. Because they've been trying to learn the same lessons since 1969. Counting to 12. What letter words begin with. Co-op-er-ation. Damn, Elmo, you're my age, and you still talk like a child. "Muppet."
