First and last shipped games I worked on.(... or at least most recent? Hopefully not last...)

@truffle So many credits lost to those tiny hands...

Shifty Cow is the true boss of the mass effect series gamingbible.com/news/mass-effe…

@truffle Have you had the cheesecake (and other nom foods) at Collin Street Bakery yet?

Life's short - eat more pie. At the Texas Pie Company in Kyle Texas.

@davidgaider Well deserved! Congrats to you and your team!

@cwgabriel I remember reading the Sin strip. Can't guarantee it was the first one I laid eyes on, but my brain identifies it as "the first strip". I still use the Llama profile pic you drew for GameSpy back in the day! tinyurl.com/2s3nkep7

@nighguy problems. gamesradar.com/i-cant-believe…

@ZenOfDesign My Rogue (basically the TB build from Icy Veins) started that way, then flipped partway through the campaign. Has enough mobility to keep me out of the fires and essentially circle-strafe the bosses that can't be stunlocked. Packs of ranged minions are my bane now.

So far my experience playing D4 is absolutely steamrolling everything and then getting just 100% bodied by the boss at the end of dungeons.

Only capitalism could turn unlimited free electricity into a problem.

Just finished "Yumi and the Nightmare Painter." I think it may be my new favorite Sanderson book!

@ZenOfDesign I remember Sully and Spider. That's it.

i watched this last night and no.

@ZenOfDesign I share this take. We need all the non-carbon-emitting power we can get, plus a smarter power grid and insane power storage capacity too. The scale required to replace fossil fuels is utterly massive.

Nuclear Power is the only realistic short-term solution to climate change and in general reducing dependence on oil and coal.

@truffle I'd give a slight edge to Mistborn, but they're both so good...

Just finished book 4 ofthe storm light archives and I think this is nw my GOAT fantasy series brandonsanderson.com/the-stormlight…

@ZenOfDesign Bree and I both said Bard.

Sure, I'll play. What DND class energy do I give off?

@lynneaglasser I listen to a documentary while I exercise/stretch to distract my brain from the monotony (and often learn cool stuff too!)

Stretching is so boring, but I need to do it. How do you make stretching not feel like such a waste of time?

@WS_Dandelion Robotech here too!

@8bitjer Thanks! Yeah, the "only" was for the quantity of shipped projects (4 games over 19 years), certainly not minimizing the scale/impact of those projects!

Quote retweet with four projects you've worked on. Here are the (only) four full-fledged games in my career thus far!

@CloudSt74702961 @bjaudette Guided missiles! As an MMO our projectiles were all client-side VFX fakery, so we implemented missiles by applying a DoT to the target with a single tick of damage at the end. Duration set based on distance at time of launch. Evasion was done by dispelling the DoT.

@bjaudette Favorite features in Starfighter? 😃

@bjaudette Indeed! Starfighter Team for LIFE! :)

@ZenOfDesign ... and that was after HitchBot made it all the way across Canada unharmed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HitchBOT

Hey, remember when robotics nerds made a hitchhiking robot to travel the US and it made it as far as Philadelphia before being destroyed? Dunno why I'm thinking about that. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

Almost deactivated my Twitter account today, due to two-factor authentication changes. The app freaked me out by trying to disable it altogether, when it really should have helped me migrate to an authenticator app. Seems very irresponsible to default to reduced security.
