Sigh of Excitement

If this security line posted signs "5 minutes from this point", "10 minutes...", etc., They'd have to post them every foot. #airporthell

I'm sorry, what?

Did I miss Elon making another purchase? https://twitter.com/unity/status/1701650081403842851

That's a lovely free bundle of books for people interested in getting into games programming: https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/international-day-of-the-programmer-2023-free-giveaway

Use TypeScript they said. It'll be better they said.

If you know, you know.

@shanselman Speaking of Overload, here's something you may be interested in... recently, some community members released "Overload First Strike", a single player Overload campaign that is a complete remake of the original Descent First Strike campaign.

https://overloadmaps.com/overload-first-strike

It can work with just the original game, but it works best with "olmod" as it takes advantage of some of the features it provides: https://olmod.overloadmaps.com

@PossiblyMax @deepthaw ya and there are new remakes of Descent like Overload that are enhanced and there’s even hardware that Vic Putz made to make the Space Orb look like a controller with NO drivers. Works on all operating systems https://www.hanselman.com/blog/bringing-the-spaceorb-game-controller-forward-with-an-arduino-bridge-via-the-orbotron-9001

I don't know who wrote this, but MORE PATCH NOTES LIKE THIS PLEASE. 🤣

First OTL flag capture in 7 seasons, and it was a game winner. https://clips.twitch.tv/PeppyFitOrangeDoggo-KcAMpnSlyb0Kts6y

I could buy a nice amount of coffee with this!

Clearly mismanagement from the top. Their logo color doesn't even match their name!

Fucking creepy.

Studying business, it astounds me how every counterexample to good business practices is happening at Twitter.

I am convinced he's trying to make Twitter fail for some reason that will benefit him. I struggle to see what that reason could possibly be.

UHHH WHAT

Salesforce Tower, by way of The Avery.

On Bluesky, too, apparently. 🙃

Who the heck thought it was a good idea to let the intern do the release????

Q: Why do programmers code in dark mode?

A: Light attracts bugs.

Happy boom, bitches.

My Overload team is great.

It is scary how many Diablo IV players are naming themselves titles like "___ Trash" or "___ Rubbish".

These events are great fun, and hopefully in the coming year I can get back to doing what I enjoy in the streaming space. I don't have the biggest following when it comes to Twitch, but metrics and analytics don't matter to me, just getting to chat and having fun is enough!

Thanks to all who stopped by during the 24 hour stream! It was a lot of fun, and there were a lot of crazy moments! I said I probably wouldn't finish Tunic, but I've since learned I was on the 2nd to last major fight, so there's a chance I try to finish it off in the coming week.

We suffered in Eclipse, derusted in Noita, and zooped across the Crypt of the NecroDancer. Now it's time for something foxy. Tunic, the closing game of the 24 hour stream, is up next! https://twitch.tv/roncli

My 7th annual 24-hour birthday begins in about 10 minutes at 11 AM Pacific with 4 hours of Risk of Rain 2! Watch me struggle with Huntress Eclipse 7. :) https://twitch.tv/roncli

Me: Excuse me, kitty, but you are on my side of the bed, and I need to go to sleep.
Tibbers: MEOW!
Me: You're right, kitty, this is your side of the bed. I'm sorry. *enters bed, awkwardly adjusting around Tibbers*

I was today years old when I learned phones can read QR codes backwards. 🤯

This Saturday I'll be running my 7th annual 24 hour birthday stream! This year, you'll see Risk of Rain 2 Eclipse runs, Noita, Crypt of the NecroDancer deathless, and a blind run of Tunic!

It all starts Sat 6/10 11 AM Pacific time. Cya there! https://twitch.tv/roncli

Just found out I broke XIVAPI.js for web users. Oops, sorry about that. Their use case was using it on the client side, mine is server side, so I didn't catch it!

I'm concerned for this app's developer.

"CEO Satya Nadella cited economic conditions and an investment in artificial intelligence as he informed employees about the change."

If I had ever thought about working at Microsoft, I would no longer have those thoughts. Big tech clearly is not interested in taking care of its workers.

Increased my #Tetris PB by 98K today. That max out is coming. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1816043850

I think this is a great idea. In fact, I'm going to go mint a coin right now to pay off my house. </s> https://www.yahoo.com/news/1-trillion-platinum-coin-could-100000669.html

I am torn between "fuck off AI" and the prospect that my #spreadsheets might be so reflective of my strange thinking that I might single-handedly avert the #AIApocalypse by letting it try.

"Hi Ron - Good Morning"

😞

Me: Wild West in Pinball FX is a shitty table.

Also me:

Just got an email out of the blue from the composer of the Kromaia OST, and now I want to go back and 100% that game.

I was expecting a surprise appearance on the Picard finale, and I was not disappointed. I really hope that goes somewhere!
