Is 25 too young for retirement?

Love a good desk move

That's just straight-up pinball 😆

I’m biased but play this

I mean I assume, I’m too cool for a licence 😎

Safety announcement! Before you start working on said startup: park, remove hands from the wheel, and make sure the handbrake is on 😆

Mindlessly hating on EA is at least three or four "edgy publisher hot takes"* old at this point, surely? *new gamedev unit of time

Of all the consumer/industry disconnects, gamedev has to be the absolute wildest

Someone at Google woke up this morning and decided they wanted to instigate a cross-Tamar conflict

So if I'm reading this right (written about 10 lines of Swift in my career 🙃) you're treating the display as one giant quad and doing all the fun stuff in the fragment stage? That's awesome, and congrats on the new release!

Alright, I'm out of the loop - shaders, in a terminal?! I've been using stock graphics setups like a peasant 😅 Seriously though, my gamedev side is confused and excited all at once

But I feel this, currently doing far too much frontend work and it’s just pure unadulterated pain

If you can write the CSS to position them inside it, sure

Dogsitting for these two beautiful pups. (not pictured: Jedi Survivor on the TV which is, hot take, the new best souls-like)

Big congrats to everyone at @DSDambuster for shipping @deadislandgame - it’s been through a special brand of development hell, but awesome for it to finally see the light of day! Definitely improved since the build I last worked on… seven years ago 🙃

This hurts my soul

After suffering through the process of building a game prototype in Unity, we burned out - hard. Current #gamedev tools just don't value a collaborative, design-first approach. So, against all sensible advice, we're building a game engine for #indiedev 🤪 quantifun.com

I am, broadly speaking, not a very intelligent man 🙃 hope you’re feeling better now though!

The less confident cousin of “I feel fine, don’t see why I need to take these any more” which this idiot experiences at least annually 🤪 I’ve had pretty good luck in the past with emergency dispensing but your mileage may vary, like everything health-related in the UK…

Assuming that “rising from the dead” was intentional, that is!
