Apple just doesn't understand. Developers don't want a better way to port their games to Mac and all the Apple silliness. Players want a way to play the 10,000 windows game on a Mac. That will sell more Macs than anything else. You lost the gaming war. Make Proton for the Mac and sell a lot more Macs.

I would love to do a live stream of me programming my game, but I not a talkative person. My steam would be long periods of silence where I mutter "What the fuck is happening?" followed by busts of "Oh, I'm such an idiot".

Oh no! It's snowed.

I wonder what training data the holodeck illegally scraped to make Dixon Hill.

Classic version control:

Reminder that night-time pillow talk is not end-to-end encrypted.

Happy to announce that @vampiress is joining Team Terrible Toybox as a quest designer on #RPGTBD. This ups the chance by 37% that I'll finish the game before becoming bored and disillusioned.

For the dev of my new game I've ditched Slack in favor of Discord for the dev team. One advantage of Discord is that most devs have a Discord account so I am not asking them to sign up for something new. So far, it's a big win. Slack as turned into a mess.

What does the term "indie studio" mean? It used to mean you don't take money from publishers, but that is no longer true. I guess it's new meaning is "constantly broke".

WTF!

Whenever some online customer support chat comes up, I start asking it programming questions about python to see if it's just AI. Someday I'll reach a real person at Bank of America who knows python and we'll both be very confused.

Yes, the cow has a quest. Deal with it.

Roger Ebert once said "The Muse visits during the act of creation, not before. Don't wait for her." I am constantly forgetting this as I procrastinate writing only to discover her again once I start.

@mekkaokereke When I got my pilots license, most of the training was dealing with emergencies. When one happened to me it was amazing how muscle memory kicked in.

Breaking news! Sometime this summer I am moving to New Zealand to start a new life adventure. Hoping there is a good tutorial. And maybe some achievements.

From the first time I saw Star Wars I couldn't shake the feeling that Vader was screwing the lid back on his thermos. Taking a quick sip of coffee before following Luke into the trench.

A few years ago I removed Google from my life. The only thing I can't remove is Google docs. Too many other people I need to work with use them.
