@andysaurAUS @CodeineFridge I'm just sentient meat dude. I don't know how it works either.

CAPES is OUT NOW! Twenty years ago, the supervillains won, and developing super powers is considered a crime. The time has come to show those villains who's boss! Lead your superheroes into turn-based, strategic battles to take back King City!

Out of all the celebrities “lost” to other side - I didn’t think I’d be RT… Macklemore. Didn’t hold back.

@jasonimms The books are great!

3 Body Problem on Netflix is incredible.

@merryh I finished the marathon to fall asleep on the finish line.

I’m zonked, so tonight is snacks and Uber Eats and 90 Day Fiancé. Godspeed to anyone headed out to deal with this weather.

@TimothyCBest @lisyk Oh the fuckwit brigade are back? Christ don’t people have better things to do.

@mattditton @lisyk People want politics out of games (ie,their politics IN games). Consultant, Sweetbaby Inc has become emblematic of shadowy forces (?) forcing diversity into games (?) to meet funding quotas (?). When game devs say things don’t work like that this community shouts them down.

Absolutely fuming, vibrating off the fucking plane of reality. This piss weak pseudo-journalism that the far-right GG* are taking is so vile. Incredible to see in real time (and closer to home) how wrong Grum**z is and how damaging he and his weird troupe are.

@TimothyCBest @lisyk I feel very out of this loop. What’s going on ?

@lisyk I have fume-vibrated like this a few times. As a game dev and journalist.

@kurtruslfanclub I got through the LAX transfer security and it was weed central.

been in sf for 7 hours and still haven’t smelled weed what’s up

@mattjcan How do you have your job and be so stupid?

Ok got this wrong. This is on the synchrotron. Renew economy described as a "nuclear facility". That was clearly intended to give impression solar is better than nuclear power. Our only nuclear facility in Australia is the nuclear reactor in Lucas Heights. And it is mad we ban it from generating electricity!

Just when our energy policy can't get any sillier ... our nation's only nuclear reactor has just blanketed its roof with solar panels! If we removed the ban they could produce enough power from nuclear energy at this facility to power itself. That would be better for the environment than installing a whole lot of solar panels made from COAL in China!!!

@LeenaVanD Leena!

being a senior in gamedev is when you tell emerging practitioners to scope smaller and then decide to do a dynamic fucking credits sequence that reflects the player’s choices for SOME FUCKING REAS—

@LeenaVanD Christ Leena it’s only Wednesday.

hard to believe GDC is next week already

@merryh At Pandemic we had to tell the local that the lead programmer was moving. I was told it was like telling your friend his girlfriend is breaking up with him.

The relationship between a game dev studio and the local coffee shop is an unparalleled tale of love and respect 💗

Flower man (sound on) #ASMR

It is totally worth playing Tingus Goose. It’s out on mobile and it’s so damn good I had to delete it. This is an idle clicker as impossible machine with Cronenburg body horror. On my game of the year list.

The OpenAI story.

@merryh You should always be allowed your begrudgement

@mattditton But then I have to swap devices instead of opening a new browser window begrudgingly. Would you deny me my begrudgement?!

If I could get one chip in my brain, it would be a time zone conversion chip.

@allymhennessy What in the ever loving fuck is this?

game developers if you're ever upset about something a journalist wrote about your game may I remind you this is the opening paragraph of an article about me

@parisba Oh hello. I am interested to see how you go.

I want to thank everyone who came up and told me they enjoyed my talk at GCAP. It was a wonderful moment to finally be able to talk about the last 10 years. I hope everyone gets a good rest. Let’s do another 10.

@darcywsmith I’ll buy it off you and we can share it.

@mattditton I've tossed and turned about it, and ultimately I don't trust myself to tell the difference between a $200 bottle and a $2000 bottle. But maybe I should just see how this game goes first...

HYPER SPECIFIC WEIRD THING, I have an insanely nice bottle of whiskey that has grown too valuable to ever drink. Anyone have a contact who wheels and/or deals in this space? It's a 21 yr old Hibiki, mt. Fuji special edition, purchased in 2016. Box in great condish.
