Culmination of a LOT of hard work from our teams. Feels good :)

Zucchini fritters and labneh. Turned out very well! 🍽️ #whatscooking

A fan hooked our game up to a VR rig, and burned about 1000 calories :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL-X...

Pushing hard for the 3rd phase of our alpha test. Can't wait to see how our players react to some of the neat features we've added :)

Made kimchi pancakes and eggs for lunch today :) 🍽️

All of my favorites for Father's Day :) 🍽️

This is the way :) youtu.be/iwI_AaHDUbo?...

Managed to encapsulate internationalized messages, store them in our MongoDB, retrieve them, and ship them to the client where they get localized. That was a chore and a half. The wrapper class was a nifty bit of work :)

Found a wicked little item duplication exploit bug today. Building a better mousetrap, one method at a time :)

Did some voice acting today. Man, my goblin voice WRECKS my cords. Fun, though :)

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Thanks to, Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't. This is a big issue now as the mass extinction event trundles along and most people are utterly oblivious to it. 🧪🌍🌿 #species

🍽️ Loaf pan shawarma. Turned out great 😃. 5 minute prep.

Duchess taking advantage of me elevating my broken foot to get some quality TV watching and pets.

I want characters with interesting faces, proportions and imperfections. Why on earth would we want everyone look like airbrushed mannequins?

Most anticipated MMORPG for 2024, woot! www.mmorpg.com/awards/mmorp...

Lots of prep for our next Alpha phase. We're also getting great feedback from our public test server. I'm super happy with the way this alpha 2 test has been going!

Finished all of the year-end reviews for my direct reports. We have such a fantastic team!

In a paper published today in Nature, researchers at Google Quantum AI crossed a significant threshold in quantum error correction, moving quantum computers one step closer to practical applications. @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/quantum-comp...

TIL that all of the various UE multicast delegate macros all funnel into a single macro with variable argument count. Never looked under the hood there before. The vararg version is much nicer to use ... I don't know why ones exist for discrete argument counts.

I made this meme on the other place years ago and some people naturally got really mad. Posting this here because there’s lots of reasonable people.

dabbling again

A really interesting article into patterns that can form with pseudo random number generators, and the effect it had on gear in Destiny 2. www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Ar...

So, resharper suggested I pass shared pointers into a lambda by const reference (C++). I'm not sure resharper gets why I was using shared pointers there :)

Doing something once? A mistake. Twice? Shoulda learned. I ate extra-hot wasabi peas from a local market. I love them! Unfortunately, eat too many and you can shock (kill?) your taste buds. Everything tastes like cardboard today. At least I know it only lasts about 3-4 days.

I promised the family I won't tell any dad jokes or puns this Thanksgiving dinner. Guess I'm quitting ... cold turkey.

Just love it when Rider tries to auto-complete a variable, chooses poorly, then invisibly adds a (bad) #include to the file where you don't see it. That one cost me 30 minutes :(

I'm not seeing enough dad jokes here. Might have to do my part :)

Steven messing with folks in our game. BEHOLDERS INCOMING :) Steven messing with folks in our game 🙂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkIN...

Played Viticulture (board game) for the first time last night with friends. I almost won in a very anti-intuitive fashion ... making no wine, but getting cards that awarded victory points for throwing away cards. "Unbelievable" was uttered many times :) Overall, a fun game!

Having an interesting conversation with some folks on another site. Name one book where the screenplay completely missed or screwed up the central theme of the book. One of them for me was Stardust.

It's so very satisfying to see feedback on our game during this 2nd phase alpha test! It's not the first MMORPG launch I've participated in, but it is the best-feeling so far. I hope everyone who is playing is having one Hell of a good time, and thanks for giving us feedback!

I finally took the plunge, after leaving Twitter sometime last year. I miss the folks I was interacting with. Eat me, Musk.
