Far too modest Mr Walker. You created amazing music, some of the best in my opinion, on the c64 in the 80s. This as well as being a great game developer. You were a big part of why I got into games development. Thanks for the inspiration, hunters moon, citadel, walker's warbles and the dev diaries.

The Gentrification of Video Game History We’re not all suburban kids who got a Nintendo 64 for Christmas

Since today's discourse is on how "not everyone grew up with Nintendo", I'll reshare this: medium.com/@felipepepe/...

And reinforce that this is systemic - a consequence of US hegemony. It's NOT a personal attack on American journos, youtubers & gamers, but rather a reminder of our differences.

2000s?!?! HA! There is no way that photo's from 15+ years ago. You'd need a time machine or the fountain of youth for that to be from the 00's! That said, such an indie band album cover in the making!

GitHub - FFmpeg/asm-lessons: FFMPEG Assembly Language Lessons FFMPEG Assembly Language Lessons. Contribute to FFmpeg/asm-lessons development by creating an account on GitHub.

TIL that because the FFmpeg project has gained so much experience in hand-writing assembly code to provide huge speedups, they now are putting together a series of lessons for learning assembly:

Optimising Games for a Complex World
Optimising Games for a Complex World YouTube video by GCAP

Interesting presentation from Matt Delbosc at GCAP where he talks about using telemetry for remote performance monitoring and the data science behind understanding what they are seeing better.

They use influxdb for storage and Grafana for presentation of data.

Welcome aboard. Your early work and dev diaries inspired me to become a games developer. Thanks for all the great games you've made and knowledge you've shared. I certainly owe you a couple of pints for the impact you've had on me.

How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days He used the constitution to shatter the constitution.

I thought you might find this article from The Atlantic interesting: "How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days" - www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv.... It explores how authoritarianism gains traction through legal and institutional loopholes and complements Mayer's themes nicely.
