Honestly, this song is too good to be just a video game song. This is some serious metal! 🤘 https://t.co/6gHZAaYMYe

I'm so sorry, Code. 😳 https://t.co/7j4Wfhhv7U

I could run P6 and P7 forever, the music is too good. #ffxiv

To spite me, @solitha decided to tip higher for good service... enough to make the bill's total $68.99. I mean, what? Really? Who does that? That's not nice!

Honestly, if you're a game dev and DIDN'T see this coming, you probably hadn't heard of Google before Stadia. https://t.co/e6q1k53ce6

Apparently just mentioning the Discord Twitter account gets bots to try to send you to a scam on Instagram? Some serious desperation out there.

Apparently this includes FAILED requests. For an application with 95 commands, @discord slash command development has really been a rather awful experience. Guess I wait until tomorrow to test this? Is there a better way to deal with this? https://t.co/WmW37dSosS

Excited to announce my partnership with @JetBlue -- I have the honor of serving as the entire backend for their new app: you create your trip, I manually comb through all the data to match you with friends. Hope I'll eventually be able to bring in other Troupes to help! 🤞 https://t.co/qwUT3rnGTE

Ooo! Is @daa_haisinn's record in trouble? https://t.co/O0yeSC3UtA

Any other Twitch folks having trouble highlight videos? For me, occasionally VODs will fail after like 5 seconds of playing. If you fast forward to after those 5 seconds it's fine.

At least I got the license plate of that truck that hit me: C19BIV 🤒

I don't know what got into me tonight, but I think I just played my best set of Overload games in a very long time, if ever.

Nothing like power going out mid-stream.

Trying to understand why @discord won't let you edit the start time of an event after it begins (but before it ends) because maybe you find out after it starts that someone couldn't make it, and you have to reschedule. I feel like this is a miss.

Showed my badge to the elevator controls like I do everyday. Today it actually spoke to me. It said:

"Any input is possible."

WOAH. That's deep.

Replying to @roncli

Dear Twitter bots: it was a joke, I'm not actually asking...

Oh why am I bothering. 🤦‍♂️

Replying to @roncli

I mean, look at those mouth movements, how else can one control the thunderbolt around corners with such precision? 🤣

I'm starting to think I need to commission someone to create a "The Last Thunderbender" avatar for me. 🙃 https://t.co/hxKgicuETo

I ended up playing an over the board chess tournament for the first time in 19 years. Won 2nd with 2.0/3 as the lowest seed in my quad. Still got it! ♟️♟️♟️

Replying to @roncli

Oh good, you can change the theme to "Dark" and the bad goes away.

I need a @_CnEY_ rant about OBS 28 right about now.

LOL @pinkfloyd @radiohead https://t.co/6dAWaDAwNa

Bad kitty. https://t.co/rIKNuQ89CY

Since we're talking about Roguelikes today, remember this: If your game has difficult boss battles, add in a "boss practice" mode like Crypt of the Necrodancer. The single most common reason I give up on a roguelike is I keep dying to the same damn boss over and over.

Shh, no one tell him about Descent. 🙃 https://t.co/OSm7nrZ9y5

I have bad news for you, it's sad forwards, too. https://t.co/Q1zIWJQDVC

Title is 100% tongue in cheek, by the way. If it wasn't obvious.

A post long overdue, and especially now that I'm using That Bird Hell Site again... for now.

Honestly, me being able to walk away, even if just for a short time? You might've been a little jealous. But with social media, it's never that easy, is it?

What have I done since my last project? Not much. Well, maybe a little bit. Some discussion about coding burnout, and project plans for the future. https://roncli.com/blogger/7709121032629796821/what-have-i-done-since-ronclicom-v2

Me & Spooty the other night:

Me: "So what's happening Thursday?"
Spooty: "What?"
Me: "You know what I'm talking about."
Spooty: "Oooooh, THAT thing."
Me: "Yes."
Spooty: ...
Me: "Just as I thought."

I can't remember the last time a fan port of a game BECAME the game. Hats off to the #synchrony folks.

Also crazy is my PB progression:

Early 1995: 612500
July 16, 2022: 622437 (27 years)
July 31, 2022: 645063 (15 days)
July 31, 2022: 740122 (10 hours)

Replying to @roncli

Oh yeah, first two kill screens today, too.

Today's milestones in classic Tetris:
1) PB 645063 in comp
2) Won CTM CT T5
3) 19 PB 252400 in warmup for quals
4) PB 740122 in quals
5) Quals average of 2 better than my PB I set earlier in the day

Apparently I've been absorbing the powers of all who die on Tetris Deathmatch.

Timeago generators are funny.

Apparently I got preoccupied and forgot to play yesterday. Streak ends at 210. GG!

Jesus Christ that order number!

Ooo, this was a dangerous word.
