Half of our team DIED at the end of last week. Today could be the end of our first Nuzlocke! See you in 1 hour! youtube.com/live/b8xkTND...

Mina the Hollower proves that Shovel Knight wasn't lightning in a bottle, and may be Yacht Club Games' finest work so far. It's also perfect to play on the #SteamDeck. A copy was provided by Yacht Club Games for review.

Windows update and in the top 5 "highlights" they provide on startup is...the ability to rotate things freely in MS Paint? Like...seriously?

Shinkansen to Osaka somehow managed to be 3x more miserable than an Amtrak train because of the rude tourists. I didn't have that on my bingo card when traveling here.

@kettanaito.com do you have thoughts on mocking API calls made within a CF Worker? With CF's new Vite plugin the dev environment is now full wrangler/miniflare and my code isn't compatible with Node even for testing. My backup plan is to make a separate service running MSW, but I'm lazy :)

Question of the day: Should I use a good old OCR tool that runs locally... Or increase my carbon footprint and use a datacenter full of nvidia graphic cards to do the same task? Answer: Claude goes BRRRRRRR!

Thirty-three days ago, we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Since then, we’ve sold 3.3 million copies. Seriously. As of today. We couldn’t make that up. Another entry on the long list of surreal moments that your support has made real. Thank you ALL.

Do you remember when people were complaining about the frontend ecosystem and how things moved too fast, with new tools and libs popping up everyday? How it was too hard to keep up? AI says hello.

Nintendo Switch 2 US Pre-Orders Start 24th April, System & Launch Game Pricing Unchanged.

Periodic reminder that Intuit is the reason taxes in the US are so complicated and we can’t easily file electronic returns. prospect.org/power/2025-0...

🥁 Become the Mighty One of the Patapon and guide them on their adventures through the rhythm of four drums! PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY are coming to #NintendoSwitch on July 11! 🥁 #NintendoDirect

I've written thousands of tests. Never have I looked at a test and thought "wow, this test is so smart, it abstracts so much, I love this." Don't write smart tests. You have your app to be smart. Tests are for expressing the intentions, and a good test is, above all, readable.

As the stewards of what is effectively the de-facto method of web development for damn near the entire planet, y'all gotta double, triple, and even quadruple check your comms. Everything the team says *will* be interpreted in ways you don't intend, and especially with the close ties to Vercel.

@rianbowart.bsky.social this one is on par with Alioth as one of your best. Never hit buy so fast.

ICYMI: We're on sale for an all-time low of 25% off until February 4th to celebrate the Etalus update!!

I’m posting all the lessons I create related to @tanstack.com table in this thread. Follow along ☺️ bsky.app/profile/ianj...

If you like Final Fantasy and you haven't given Stranger of Paradise a shot, I highly recommend that you play it. The game got meme'd on a bunch because of the Chaos stuff, but it's an amazing game. It also has great music by the Final Fantasy XI composer Naoshi Mizuta.

Here are the performance targets planned at launch! PC players: performance will be improved similarly, and we are investigating lowering the recommended GPU requirement. We are also exploring releasing a standalone free hardware benchmark tool. Stay tuned for more info.

Hitstop and weapon attack sound effects will pack a greater punch in the full version of #MHWilds! You'll feel the impact and responsiveness of attacks much more, especially for big moves and finishers. Here's a work-in-progress video showcasing the changes with the Great Sword.

Hi! Here's an example of testing React Server Components in Next.js using MSW and Playwright: github.com/kettanaito/... This is how I see reliable RSC testing going forward. No emulation, framework-agnostic, isolated by default. Give me your feedback!

Calling all hunters, from veterans to newcomers! As we head towards Monster Hunter Wilds, join us Dec 16 for a special video welcoming you to the awe-inspiring Monster Hunter universe. Daisy Ridley narrates & walks you through this intro, focusing on series history.

Capcom and Hideki Kamiya are developing a sequel to their Ōkami game!

Which is technically a controlled e2e test. Even before RSC, "e2e" had a blurry definition. To me, it depends on where you draw those ends. You can test your client end-to-end, which means your code runs, routing runs, your framework runs, all in the real (browser) environment.

Had a blast experiencing #Daggerheart at #PAXUnplugged today with @dehvokahn.bsky.social <3 Thanks for the great panel with these fantastic humans @matthewmercer.bsky.social @spenserstarke.bsky.social @eliserezendes.bsky.social @therowanhall.bsky.social @darringtonpress.bsky.social

Slay the Spire: The Board Game - BGG How to Play. Nick Murphy teaches you how to play Slay the Spire: The Board Game by designers Gary Dworetsky, Anthony Giovannetti & Casey Yano and published by Contention Games. This episode is sponsored by Contention Games.

Any Slay the Spire fans out there? Here are four minis I painted from the board game! I don't usually play video games now but Slay the Spire has been a consistent one I do play. My kingdom for more StS minis! #nerdlings #paintingminiatures

It's not just Congalala's backside you'll have to worry about. Beware business at both as as its spews deadly breath attacks that bear the properties of the mushrooms it eats!

Enter the hunt in style with the striking regal elegance of the Guild Knight Layered Armor set! Available as a pre-order bonus for Monster Hunter Wilds on all platforms.

Taking on three Yian Kut-Ku at once? Not our finest idea. Beware taking on a herd of this returning foe…

This week we're putting the spotlight on the apex monster of the Scarlet Forest, Uth Duna! Keep an eye out throughout the week for a wave of information on this powerful new Leviathan making its debut in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Remember gamers, no matter what happens at the The Game Awards this year, your favorite game got robbed and you need to be unreasonably angry about it ❤️

Swapping my Twitter bookmark for Bluesky for a bit to see how it goes — starting to really appreciate the ability to completely avoid all algo stuff. Just don't want to see anything even close to news at all, and I like that that's easy here.

now you can run `npm install bluesky-comments` to use bluesky replies as your blog's comment section! thanks @coryzue.com 🙌

The hunt begins on Bluesky! Spread the news, hunters! To kick things off, allow us to sneak in this reminder of the reveal of a returning monster that was first shown at New York Comic Con! The iconic Queen of the Land, Rathian, is back in all her majesty in Monster Hunter Wilds!

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete is now available! The introductory price is $9.99 USD / €9.99 EUR until January 31. We are thrilled to welcome both returning and new players to the campsite!✨ App Store apps.apple.com/us/app/anima... Google Play play.google.com/store/apps/d... #PocketCamp

the problem is i want to play every video game and there are only finite hours in a lifetime

Vampire Survivors has shot up to the #1 spot in November's most played games on the #SteamDeck. Here are the top 20 most played games on the Deck last month: steamdeckhq.com/novembers-to...

Tanstack Start doing doing server calls a bit different than React Server Components. You can write the client and server logic in the same file and it replaces it with fetch calls when run on the client. No "use client", no errors with client APIs in server components, etc.. watch at 0.5× 😆

Gwen commission from a while back! 😄💖 A4 Gouache and watercolors as usual! Screentone texture added on PS 😄💖

Shocking as it sounds, it’s quite possible people prefer the civility and community of Bluesky over being force fed some cooked up algorithm concocted by a bombastic billionaire to amplify trolls, bots, and miscreants. Imagine that!

I am beyond-words excited to share that MSW has been selected for the Spotify FOSS 2024 fund 🎉 This is a stellar level of support that will help me keep working on the project full-time. Congratulations to all the participants, and thank you, Spotify!

i know everyone’s tired of talking meta level but i’m really happy that i finally was able to cut over to posting just here. twitter felt pretty addictive even this spring and summer. but as our app got less wonky and we added features like quotes, it reached the good enough level for me personally
