But they never developed a space program. Tough break, but there you are..

I am already kitting out a Linux Box

Had almost forgotten what good news feels like!

It’s rat o’Clock! 😁

Watching For All Mankind and Artemis II at the same time is quite a vibe..

I swear, I am never building my own PC again!

Some days, going outside is a mistake..

..hope tomorrow is better.

Pleased for you both, Cyprus is a good spot..

Civilization 2, Populous: The Beginning, Neverwinter Nights

I must have missed something when I read “Plutoshine”, then..

All I'm going to say is that you can definitely tell, when playing a 2D platformer with a swinging mechanic, which game programmers passed the section of physics that taught pendulum motion and which ones didn't.

I’d use wget but that may be too programmer-y a solution

Rewatching Watchmen for the nostalgia of living with impending nuclear doom and a reminder that as bad as things are they aren’t quite that bad..

Damn. A recruiter told me I have a real chance to work for Minecraft again, but Mojang changed the position at the last minute.

I haven't had work in months and that would have been job security. I'm a good art director, illustrator and 2D animator for games. Hire me please

I like that most elder goths are putting out new songs about how much they hate social media, AI, and technofascists generally. Like the goth community would organically spit out anybody brainwashed into being brainwormed conformists. It's comforting.

You gotta commit to staying a creative weird ambitious enthusiastic little freak alongside everything else. Protect your heart at all costs, you're going to need it later too.

And I thought knowing the Unreal Engine really well would give me job security…ha bloody ha..poor sods..

If humanity had half a brain, this is the kind of war we would be waging: Restoring our planet, including our sea life.

Just for fun, let me tell you about somebody you've probably never heard of, but who was once one of the most famous people in England, a national hero, a disgraced fraudster, and an astonishingly accomplished piratical maniac.

He led quite a life. (1/53)

Trying to enjoy my Sunday and not think too much about geopolitics

Yay. $100k is bankruptcy for pretty much everyone. But it’s ok cos they made steam $30k before they folded.

After Google Reader shut down, I fled to Inoreader; still using it after all these years..

Weird how creating conditions where powerful people never have to face real accountability leads to powerful people abusing their power. Who could have predicted that?

I’m looking forward to the bit where the US Military ask the LLM du jour the fastest way to end the war and it suggests a bombing run on Mar-a-Lago!

I had forgotten how much discipline it takes to write good assembler and how agonisingly incremental progress is. Programmers these days don’t play in hard mode..

Well, I would be there, in my role as the ghost of gamedev past, but I’ve been stomped on by a rather lively little virus..

Cannot unsee :-(

Hey, you! Yes, you! Stop doomscrolling and read something better! 😀
