Me: "Hmmm...let's see how to create a random point inside a random triangle."
Also me: "Wait, how do you find a number between two other numbers?"
Why yes, random tangents are my first language!

I just finished adding a new flavor of an existing (very, very, VERY) old system for our designers. It was frustrating and confusing but worth it. And now I'm just like....what do I do with my life? #EverQuest #gamedev #programming #existentialcrisis #holidaybreak
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an architect. Then I took geometry and was no good at it. Now I'm a #gamedev and have VOLUNTEERED to create a system that's pure geometry, how dumb am I? Math is still not my strong suit.

There's nothing like having a ticket re-opened with a comment stating step #47 doesn't work, looking at the code, determining that it could NEVER work, and wondering how the hell it ever did work while you were doing it. #gamedev

It's the kind of day where I google things like "typescript declare variable" and "css set width percentage dynamically". #GameDev
I'm lucky, while I work from home I get to hear my kid and one of his grandmas as they play downstairs. I hate that this luck means that my mom (and my SO's mom) are spending their golden years looking after my child because we both have to work. And even then, we can't afford daycare. #childcare
Pediatrician: Now that he has teeth, you'll need to brush them twice a day.
Me: Ma'am, I can barely remember to brush my own teeth.

Four of a kind should technically also qualify for two pairs.
One large TV sits above two smaller TVs. All three are playing Balatro (two on PS5 and one on Nintendo Switch).
My family has discovered @playbalatro.com. My SO gets the large TV while feeding the baby, and my brother and I are on the two smaller ones.
I hate that it's 2025 and the idea of my 9 month old getting the measles is legitimate enough for me to request he gets his shot early.
Vitamin A supplements will not protect someone from measles, and they are not a substitute for the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine, infectious-disease experts said.
The best way to protect against a measles infection is the two-dose vaccine, experts say.
Trio is the first show my kid ever went to, I was about 22 weeks along ;P
I will admit that as a #gamedev #programmer I still sometimes remember how to use greater than vs less than with "the alligator eats the bigger number". But I never use my toes for counting!
Happy birthday to us!
In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t.
If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.
Take my advice with a grain of salt though, I've been at the same studio for 15+ years and have only helped interview candidates a handful of times. Good luck!!
Different studios -> apply for one each (probably the best fit for your skills)
If they're interviewing you and you seem like a better fit for a different position in that studio, they'll (most likely) consider you for that spot
(this is based on my very little experience in helping hiring)
Can we stop rebooting old shows and maybe just tell Netflix to stop canceling the good ones after a single season?
Me: *sends reply to the whole team*
10 seconds later...
Me: "Oooh, new email!!"
#GameDev
I just got perfection in #StardewValley for the first time time.....what do I do now?
I apologize for the stream of spam last night, I imported things from Twitter so I'd look less like a spambot serial killer, didn't realize it would all go at once. But duh, computers do what you tell them to do 🤦
Mobile games that have ads should be limited to one close button, instead of having to hit one, and another, and another, and then one more that moved to the other side of the screen.
I have no idea what I'm doing (following so many people I don't know vs whatever Twitter did feels weird), but here I am! I'll mostly post #GameDev stuff (yay #EverQuest!) and random shenanigans (I still miss Google music) whenever I remember to.
