Today in the "I like my job more than my job likes me" category:

While everyone agrees that being disease free is ideal, when given the choice of bubonic plague and flu, it’s a bit annoying when people are like “yeah but having the flu sucks” and “there was a lot of inflation when I got the flu”.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

To my eldest son, I leave my 2080ti.

How lucky I was to experience internet, And participate in open-source, In the early 2000s.

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

I've made 6 open-source @godotengine.org projects perfect for as a base for your first or next game. Completely human-made and easy to understand code & comments. All visuals and sounds included, CC0! kenney.nl/starter-kits

Temporarily embarrassed billionaires.

impressive results maybe, but meritless

ouch

impressive results maybe, but meritless

Annoying that Roslyn won't let me declare `static short Main()` for when I want to run my C# on 16-bit computers.

Voted for the midterms. Amidst the blatant corruption and turmoil it would be laughable if it wasn't so infuriating that I had to vote “no I do not wish a doctor has to verify the sex of a kid before allowing them to play sports”. Get fucked.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Omg they made a fun Star Wars game.

Get lost Kestar Bool, we’re using Option here.

Fly your car into a wall dumbass

And talking about C# frameworks to build games and game engines on, I really like Foster from @noelfb.bsky.social: github.com/FosterFramew... Foster being based on SDL3 and SDL_GPU allow you to target so many platforms.

Their new Waylith Engine sits on top of Brutal, a new C# framework to build your game or game engine on: github.com/ahwootech/BR...

Impressive work from RimWorld to switch from Unity to a custom C#/.NET engine while preserving behavior including mods! store.steampowered.com/news/app/294...

There has to be a long composite German word for the utter and complete embarassment with the political state of your country.

One day, after years of unsuccessful attempts at a hard debugger for Mono by the team, Zoltan just showed up with a soft debugger for Mono, and that changed the entire Mono developer experience. Now that was a feat.

the death of software feats

ai induced over confidence

As expected I did not need to touch memcmp.

Stand clear people I'm going to touch memcmp.

I should buy the new pod racer game.

I’d pay good money for a Xbox 360 XNA branded devkit if someone is selling.

Rain falls on the sound, Autumn claims the fading light, My old trade is gone.

As nature intended

the og space corridor

I hope you need to squeeze between tight spaces in Space Corridor to load a new section of the Space Corridor.

NOT NOW RUSSIAN PLAGUE

Voicemail 😱

Most APIs should be _no_problem by default when you think about it.

`pthread_setname_np`. pthread set name no problem, beautiful.

My cozy village builder, CottageCore, now has a Steam page! Shape cottages and towers, care for your villagers, and prepare for winter. Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4941950/... youtu.be/f35t1kngUao?...

Imagine buying anything from Meta
