In the decade-plus I've been making my weekly videos, Rebecca was the only developer to have jumped into my comments to clear up a point I was unclear about—then she graciously agreed to be on the podcast. I found her to be as generous and kind as she was talented. It's truly tragic that she's gone.

Rebecca Heineman passed today. She was a unique talent, to understate things. Anyone could see that in her long list of accomplishments. But we are not just our catalogs of retail products. She was a force of nature, a light in the darkness. This is an unimaginable sadness.

half a billion dollars for a police force that still feels the need to shakedown local markets, events, and fairs for protection money

Happy Halloween! #godot #gamedev

don't write developer documentation with LLMs dude we are filling up the web with The Gunk

I love Clint. Last year a hurricane took out his house and huge amounts of his stuff last year, and this refreshingly honest and positive outlook coupled with that soothing voice is a joy.

SO FRIGGEN RELIEVED

This is a perfect sentence: "All we’ve gotten in the past decade is example after example of how little these people know about anything other than making apps that destroy something you previously loved, by hollowing it out into a subscription service that no longer works and everyone hates."

its wild how much local LA news is fixated on the threat of looting even though it was like single digit arrests. if you're looking for a juicy story about loss of personal property, might i suggest the devastating inferno

this is how i found out

Waiter waiter! More type safety please!

i admit i live in an echo chamber of leftist politics, the only exception being when i hear things said by the president, the next president, the supreme court, members of congress, people on the news, my family, or people i encounter in my daily life.

Me: *Literally never touch LinkedIn* LinkedIn, every month: Wow, my dude, you are on a ROLL on LinkedIn!

Folks, if you haven't done this: ALL GERMAN STEAM USERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OR BUY YOUR GAME. Your game cannot even be searched! it is only accessible via direct link. It's super quick, go do it! partner.steamgames.com/healthcheck/...

Admiring the laconic graphic design in the Half-Life series. Always had a soft spot for the simplicity and restraint in these UIs Undoubtedly elevated by the superb audio design as well

This was a great week to be a Half-Life fan. So many awesome community projects, a fun celebration from Valve and loads of people sharing memories online. If you'd have told me 20 years after the release of HL2 we'd be getting together to celebrate it, I'd have called that a win.

Message to all my haters

For anyone who grieves while looking at world events and is asking "What do I do now?", the answer is "the things that are worth doing". There is reason for despair, but there is always reason for hope. Do good things.

I’m devastated. RIP to an absolutely brilliant and talented man. 😭 deadline.com/2024/11/tony...

Just got a library card from my local branch, and highly recommend you do the same if you don't have one. You can watch movies, read ebooks, do research, and use equipment that you would have to pay for anywhere else. In case you need a reminder!

it's crazy how we used to have perfectly functional online systems that facilitated human interaction (e.g. craiglist) and we replaced them with increasingly terrible Apps

posts like these make me wish bluesky had bookmarks

happy 14th birthday, fallout new vegas

Just thinking out loud: It should not be possible to patent game mechanics or designs It's an absurd idea on it's face. Akin to patenting and owning a certain camera motion in films, or a way of formatting text in a poem, or a brushstroke, or a panel layout for comics
