My little game Dawnfolk just went live for pre-order on the Nintendo eShop. I can’t believe it’s happening! 🥹 #NintendoSwitch #IndieGame

Since my very first Pokémon battle in Pokémon Emerald, I’ve dreamed of making a game for a Nintendo console… and it’s finally happening! ✨ 🔥 Dawnfolk is coming to Nintendo Switch 1 & 2! 🔥 Preorders open soon on the eShop. 🗓️ #NintendoSwitch #IndieGame

Writing a new chapter in my upcoming book, and this sentence just slipped in: Be aware that Tailwind is neither educational nor a methodology. It's a company's free tier of their product. And all communication is centered around that.

why do i have to allow Microsoft and its EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO partners the ability to randomly give me a colonoscopy at any and all hours of the day IT'S FUCKING SOLITAIRE

On to playing Final Fantasy VII OG on Steam, and the German version is 1:1 the same game I played in the late 90s, warts and all. The translation is rushed and abysmally poor. Some dialogue scenes are cut off, don't make any sense, or are simply weird.

Still... It's so enjoyable. It's a fun game and I'm hooked. The tempo is so right, and nothing drags. The locations are all so different and creative. I get why this has been a fan favourite for so long.

Today I wrote about 300 lines of Rust featuring "unsafe" that I thought about quite carefully. Then I started adding safety comments. The act of needing to convincingly argue that something is true made me find and fix 3 bugs I had missed before. Safety comments exist for a reason!

It's a bit rich that AWS feels it can clearly communicate these things to LLMs when it's failed for twenty years to do so to customers.

I would love that! Also: Cross-Platform Dragon Quest VIII HD Remaster when? (This seems like such a low hanging fruit, I don‘t get why this hasn‘t happened yet)

⚙️🦀🥝 What's Rust Forge Conf 2025? I'm glad you asked! p.s. Engagement really helps. Replies, likes and/or share to receive a discount code via DM.

I thought that people might have mixed feelings about the announcement, but I didn't expect this. I also have many opinions (as always), but first and foremost, I'm happy for the folks involved to receive a (hopefully) stable paycheck for the work they love doing.

orgpad.info/blog/all-pro... imho, this post has some basis in truth: yes, in a literal sense, a programming language does not have a speed: an implementation of a language and a program in it has a speed but this completely misses that language semantics impact performance ceilings

orgpad.infoAll Programming Languages are FastWell, at least the serious ones. In recent years, software got much slower, basically killing all advances in hardware performance. Finally, software performance got to the front of debate. Yet the di...

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.

Can you point me to some great articles on web #frontend architecture? I'm not looking for anything specific, everything that YOU consider to be on topic and worth a read counts. Boosts appreciated 🤗

It's a real bummer when I see folks who *clearly* don't like Rust writing (multiple!) articles like "is rust ready for embedded? I tried it and still don't like it, so no". It's fine that people don't use tools they don't like! I just wish we had more people who DO USE Rust writing these articles.
