I've spent my evening trying to not let it get to me that the first comment on something being available for wishlisting, that took 11 months just to get to Alpha state, called it vibecoded.

Licensing cost for Audi might be a bit lower now.

You can wishlist Lowside on Steam now. (This is the bike racing game I have occasionally been posting videos of). store.steampowered.com/app/5493460/... #bikeracing #lowside Thank you for the support, simcraft.com #ad

Step 1: Buy game company. Step 2: Say how this won't affect things. Step 3: Strip company down, writing off unreleased games development budgets as losses on your taxes. Step 4: Go on charm offensive about how much you love games. Glad to know my taxes will be refunding Silver Lake for Step 1.

I got around to updating my first game. It was actually pretty hard to go back and do this. Adds controller support, re-written targeting system, faster loading, smaller install size and more. #gamedev

This is INSANE. They have to be hoping for a billion(s) dollar offer to land on their doorstep.

Watching this highly accurate documentary. Is the food riot in progress?

Ditto from this account. Like, we're ok, but we're not ok. Sometimes sh*t happens.

Run-through of the intro sequence for Waterline, a 'space game on a single planet' that I am developing. None of the ships are final, obviously. #spacegame #gamedev

Here is my first successful playthrough of the ESCORT mission type in my space (without space) game called Waterline. Very much alpha, but everything worked. youtu.be/MxLQAy_9nuc #gamedev

Did they intend to create an #F1 track that races like Monaco without the prestige?

For learning, you dump memory, change something, dump memory, examine for changes. You'll sometimes get hundreds of things that changed and you have to eliminate those down to find the right thing. It doesn't just 'give you' a track map, but gives enough data to code one in the tool. #gamedev

So, er, life update.

I’ve wanted to setup stations to have PCs displayed and ready to play for a really long time. Still lots to do, but you can see the direction. And no i have a lot more in the basement … #retrogaming #dosgaming

Just had a potentially life changing phone call. Opportunity I’ve looked for since 1998.

And he accepted it because he feels he deserves it. Let that sink in.

This database of information was very valuable to me when we started the process of trying to help my youngest daughter. Finding out about others with the same microdeletion told us what kind of life and challenges we could expect for her. Great resource.

I don’t think I understand #F1 rules anymore. Leave a cars width and make contact in a committed corner-penalty. Drift over and take a cars width away, with contact-no penalty.

Has anyone else noticed that the ZX81 manual casually introduces arrays, FOR-NEXT loops, and conditional branching within the first 30 pages, as though teaching structured programming to nine-year-olds is a perfectly normal thing to do on a Tuesday? Because it worked. And nobody has apologised.

This has timestamps. Dogfight with a pirate under attack from all angles and in mostly 'flee' mode. #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=o67b...

Awesome game that you should try.

Mouse control is pretty hard, and I've gone with roll to pitch for the defaults there and you can see my inputs from the dot in the reticule. You can also see factions at work (everyone hates pirates). If you have a ship manifest scanner you can see everything... #gamedev

Everything shown in the options/player screens is working. Pause and have a look. #gamedev

At the turning of the millennium there were 769 satellites in space, 2026 there are 14,500 satellites. I spent 7mins photographing the Milky Way rising above Poatiri Mt Charles Hoopers Inlet, on Muaupoko (Otago Peninsula) this evening. Ōtepoti Dunedin, NZ #Photography

It's very important that you allow your NPCs to express their anger in an appropriate manner. (This is a solo dev game I am working on). #gamedev

I haven’t watched any pregame stuff during the World Cup. Is the American on the right actually trying to be unlikable? A contrarian for the sake of, what? Because he thinks it makes his opinion of value? It really doesn’t…

This is a person who thinks 1 in 8 people on the planet are her target audience for playing Xbox.

I don't think I will ever be excited by Xbox ever again. Their strategy is self serving, board serving, bonus serving. They don't care about games. They don't care about their customers. They don't deserve your excitement, your money, or your time. I'm done, and I hope you are, too.

My head canon is that without the corruption of FIFA undoing bans the US would have put a reserve player on the pitch, they’d have had a breakout performance, won the game. We’ll never know.

F1 Media: Leclerc bounces back from the struggles we had decided he was having.
