    @JoeCavers one of my favorite games is Mother 3 - only ever released in Japanese, so I played the fan translation applied to a pirated ROM.

    @JoeCavers No, not Enix. It's strange and funny and has a really good soul. It has some of my favorite bits of game design in it. <3

    @new_nomad it's a hack to give a sense of tactility to the shiny planes we design for. Make interfaces lumpier!

    @KommanderKlobb not that I know of. bad idea if only for performance. but allowing the option would be nice. like Python's copy module...

    @paperCaves "Working with Paul Robertson" is on my list of things I really want to do.
  592. I'm not sure leaning quite so violently to the side helps when playing Serious Sam. I'd not be surprised if I fell of my chair.

    @rclarke glad I made that the pullquote, then.
  600. Apparently older drivers for my soundcard could record the output audio directly, but the RIAA got them to take it out.
  601. The best solution now is to buy another soundcard, or to plug a cable out the line-out and into the line-in. Fuckssakes.

    @DGoodayle "Batteries included" is a good thing, I think. But you gotta be careful to limit what you need to know to make things.

    @asponge I want to empty my mind of everything but the impulses necessary to dodge, dodge and dodge again.
  622. …in reply to @asponge
    @asponge I wish to see nothing but colour, form and motion. I wish for semantics to fall behind, for taste, smell, touch to have no import.
