-
@jay_addison @radiodario it is indeed related to that huge game dev conference next week. But yes, let's. (I don't know my schedule yet)
-
@Gillespionage Yeah, The Tower is pretty bad news. Or rather " it's a change, not necessarily a catastrophe"
-
@resiak I was also reminded of this talk : youtube.com/watch?v=3kEfedtQVOY
-
@resiak basically - most security comes down to parsing. So it's a good idea not to make what you need to verify Turing complete.
-
Today is weird. I've both followed someone and been followed as a result of #FF s . Hello @HelenAnimate and @iJavaMe !
-
@docky you put them in a box in a closet, and eventually lose them in a house move.
-
@Gillespionage sounds cool, though.
-
Woo! Boris Bikes outside my house will apparently go "live" on the 8th!
-
@HelenAnimate haha, I am sorry! I'm used to it by now, it's also my Twitter background.
-
@thomasapage news that you are surprised to hear has only just happened.
-
@Dick_Hogg @smestorp @patrickashe yeah, they're heavy fuckers. understandable, given the abuse they take.
-
@thomasapage and Humble Bundle are doing sales and distribution for them, too.

Staying up watching Twin Peaks in a stupid jetlag-avoiding plan. And then going to motherfucking GDC. In like 2 hours! Fuck yeah!

@Draknek Heard there was dinner plans for around 6pm?

@Draknek I have recruited @RamiroCorbetta and others. They want tacos.

@Slaktus hey man, where you at?

@zoewi yo, you're making me sad I'm back at the hostel by now.

@edclef cheers! No, I just this moment flipped to apprehension. But I'm sure my feelings'll flip again in a few minutes.

@nachimir It's my birthday! Thank you!

@KommanderKlobb Thanks man!
-
@robinlacey thank you. have no fears on that account.
-
@agAitcheson really? where did you hear that? & thank you & I will.
-
@HilariousCow I know you would! I really wanna see a game with you going all out visually. Or fuck it, make it with you.
-
@SFBTom man, I did not even know you were out here. If you want to borrow my pass for the day, let me know -- I'll not be about all day.
-
@SFBTom Yeah, the only catch is that I've got no cause to get down to Moscone, so you'll have to come pick it up at Indie Hostel Downtown.
-
@Gillespionage hey thanks, much obliged.

Last night I was discussing if any indies were in Guilford. Today, Peter Molyneux.

@asponge looks like it's fail on the Deadly Premonition Summit, though. Big regrets.

@danintheshed from the vantage point of GDC it looks the same.

@HilariousCow if Jon Blow immediately agrees with you...

People queuing up to see Mode 7's talk on asynchronous competition. Fuckin' indies are taking over.

@tigershungry didja get a cab there?

Oh yay, my card was declined, this'll be fun.

Okay, that bullshit is sorted. Apparently withdrawing money in the city you've told the bank you were going to is suspicious.

@tha_rami oh hey, forgot to ask while we were physically co-located. Would you mind doing a bestgamedesign.tumblr.com interview?
-
@tha_rami just talk for a bit about a bit of a game you really liked, over Skype some time.
-
@smestorp having heard it just a moment ago... it sounds coherent! And interesting! I think you're good.
-
@tigershungry I know how you feel.

@KommanderKlobb @tigershungry nonononono! let's do 7! all in different locations! each with more tech than the last!

@edclef continually amazed by how well named "notgames" is as a movement.
-
I just misfingered my phone and ended up with a QR code of someone's tweet staring me in the face. Will be more careful in the future.
-
@HilariousCow is this that zfighting thing you were chatting about?
-
@oh_cripes @asponge tbf, I am pretty fucking sharp looking today. Even if my shirt needs an iron.
-
@edclef I read it as : notgames are a type of game, the type that are not really a game.

@KommanderKlobb @phosfiend Ooh, I had forgotten about that. Off to the mechanical arcade at fisherman's wharf this morning, though.

Do you have a homepage? I find mine to be very useful.

In a cafe in Chinatown, while looking at a weird milk drink, I recorded @increpare talking about Deadly Rooms of Death bestgamedesign.tumblr.com/post/19505500023/stephen-lavelle-on-deadly-rooms-of-death
-
@HilariousCow could we make a rig to determine this shit experimentally?

Officially bored of deciding whether given objects are games or not now.

@srules Have you played it? After hearing Stephen talking about it I was totally intimidated.

@fridgehead have you seen this auntiepixelante.com/drink/ ?
-
Has anyone got a spare ticket to Zombie LARP next weekend?
-
@HilariousCow no, you just need to apply measured force. you can calibrate with the right type of spring (ie Newtonmeter).
-
@HilariousCow It's travel you need to measure, and that should be doable? all of this is pretty small quantities, mind.
-
@DGoodayle ah, that's beautiful.
-
@DGoodayle what about... all they do is build. but they have competing architectural philosophies. different ones build different patterns.
-
@DGoodayle they have finite lives, and base their designs on what they grew up near.

-
@DGoodayle yeah, what I described is a genetic algorithm... but one I've not seen done before. Will be curious if it works!
-
@tiedtiger @rclarke dunno why I'm entering this argument, buuuuut... does this also rule out dys4ia on the exactly the same grounds?

@edclef Ha, no worries. And, yes @ElectronDance , you're already A Person Of Interest. Welcome anytime!

@compositeredfox Still no joy with the source files. :< Will try to make a external plugin, and talk through that. After sleep, though.

@compositeredfox thanks for all your help, btw. Some day I'll get to play with my shiny new toy...

@Carachan1 Our healthcare is fucked and I had an In'n'out burger and it didn't live up to the hype, I'm sad now and will go to bed.

@leonardr That tweet was sparked by the guy's blog being called "Starman Jones"
-
@leonardr also you made Beautiful Soup! We were using that at work today! Also an excellent name.
-
@richlitt bitbucket gives unlimited free private git accounts. It's the 2nd most established, after git. Or gitorious, as Robert says.
-
@edclef @MonacoIsMine Spore too! You putting it in metadata, or getting fancier with some LSB fiddling?
-
@edclef bit less sexy... not sure what online services will destroy what parts. could do both, for a belt-and-braces approach.
-
@edclef istr techniques for stenography that could survive recompression/resizing... but on second thoughts, don't get sucked into that.
-
@Cunthorse Are you denying the transitivity of puns?

This weekend I put up an interview with @increpare, where he talked about the intimidating Deadly Rooms of Death. LINK: bestgamedesign.tumblr.com/

@robertpeacock22 It's more serious than that! It went up yet further after that.

Last week I read Rise of the Videogame Zinesters, and I think everyone else should, too. It is fantastic. indiebound.org/book/9781609803728
-
@srules what. wow.
-
@SFBTom That's a shame. I really enjoyed it (and the original) on PC. I love @polyfonken's music, too.
-
@therussmorris Just found a repository set up on github, containing nothing but this image....
-
@Gillespionage because you tote them about.
-
@therussmorris it's already gone. it's a brave new world without you here.
-
@edclef shave and a haircut, 2 bits.
-
@Gillespionage @therussmorris totebags really aren't that complex.
-
@JurieOnGames @edclef well, it's spelt that way because it's half a byte.
-
@srules I WANT TO SEE IT
-
@srules WHERE BY "IT", I MEAN YOU.
-
@edclef nnmf :< it's a shame you have large flat colours. surprised you're going for a border over metadata.
-
@edclef Spore's images had large transparent areas, and used the full RBG values when A was 0. Worth considering for the border?
-

@oh_cripes man, that event is weird. :/ Was gonna mock publicly, but we just won a thing from TIGA + a sponsor. Maybe I should, anyway.
-
@resiak @heftyseamstress I am! It's how I found Sycorax. And then noticed he makes Beautiful Soup and knows you. Small world.
-
@asponge you're so cynical, Alice.
-
@KommanderKlobb @bfod Me too! And I did student radio for like 3 years. I think everyone who hasn't trained themselves to get over it has it
-
@KommanderKlobb @bfod Though I did manage to tolerate hearing my voice over headphones as I was speaking, which is also super weird.

@DGoodayle @Gillespionage HELLO I AM ON TWITTER RIGHT NOW
-
@asponge I'm gonna focus on the first half. The Gits are pretty fantastic. Just what I needed after days of twee.

It lives! RT @heftyseamstress test: totally excellent starting test

Weird writing a script that should still be outputting stuff til ... the 30th of June 2015...

@Jed1D_Gaga_Cher hiya!
-
@Jed1D_Gaga_Cher ah, I'm back now. Back at work! But it's cool, it's good to be back. Getting back to normal...
-
@Jed1D_Gaga_Cher (but California was great!)
-
@tigershungry I use, uh, my friend's server. That's not very helpful, I realize. Sorry.
-
@awesommelier was there any doubt?
-
vimeo.com/38773715 I love you, @Dick_Hogg
-
@DGoodayle what, Zombie Larp? Yep, I made it and had a fantastic time running from zombies.
-
@nameoftheyear but most medicine just suppresses symptoms, doesn't interfere with immune response.
-
The Easter Bunny gave her life so that I could live.
-
She didn't mean to. She got tagged by a zombie and I ran past. Ended up with half the humans escaping.
-
In related news, Zombie Larp was really fun. Watch out for me being really excited and telling boring stories about it for weeks to come.
-
@compositeredfox I am quivering with anticipation to hear it. Maybe when I finally respond to your email, hey?
-
And Coney's A Day Of Play tomorrow! It's a good weekend to run around playing games, it seems.
-
@DGoodayle ah, were you at the December one? This was my first!
-
@musebloom shit! When did you change your profile pic? That new haircut looks fierce!
-
@srules didja ever hear of the idea to print huge cutout vinyl eyes, and put them on the front of a DLR?
-
@DGoodayle ah, yeah, I'd only played it at Gamecamp before. Vastly different experience in the full-blooded thing.
-
@lefishy well, if the console is truly dead, you can always open it with a hammer.
-
@edclef that looks good! I love the honesty of that approach, it fits the game so well.
-
@tiedtiger I want a service that buys me £x on Amazon from my wishlist each month. Every month, a present through the door!
-
@edclef Yeah, having it visible. Why not, without the black it shouldn't distract.
-
Editing things not shot in RAW makes me want to continue shooting things in RAW.
-
@dkanaga @ThisIsOverlap @edclef I read that and now I want to play play Proteus, and hand-draw the map of the island I get.

@IntolerantWitch yeah, it was excellent meeting you! Excellent times, I shall definitely be at the next.
-
@bonzrat how many crashes so far?
-
@Radstronomical you can make it happen.
-
@jwaaaap that sounds amazing. I mean, not good. But amazing. Even more so : uses a Mighty Mouse, and unpauses when you touch the mouse.
-
Fuck you, "These teammates' devices were not identified in the embedded.mobileprovision for this build."
-
@design3video @jwaaaap and irritating platformer sections!

-
I hate using the Flash environment, but I make stuff for the player all the time (in Unity and pure AS3). I can see why Adobe did this.
-
@reallyfancy @KommanderKlobb Does Alchemy count as released? It's never been supported, or recommended for production use.
-
@reallyfancy @KommanderKlobb In fact, actually, more to the point can you call "domain memory" previously free?
-
For me the bigger news is this : Alchemy is a real thing, which requires a license to use.
-
Alchemy means you can write C/C++ code that uses graphics cards, and it'll run in browsers with hopefully minimal compatibility issues.
-
(and you get mouselock and right click support!)
-
@KommanderKlobb you're right, that's pretty weird. Wonder why?
-
@S0phieH the charges are basically for (until new engines spring up) Unity Flash export.
-
Aaaand Unity has put up their blog post, too blogs.unity3d.com/2012/03/28/unity-flash-update/
-
"Unity Flash Basic will cost $400 per developer, and Unity Flash Pro will cost $1500 per developer." Out "later this year."
-
@S0phieH you know how doing stuff in Unity rarely feels like "real" programming? It does in HTML5. And in Javascript, too.

-
@S0phieH Man, there's a lot of unpacking you can do on those scare quotes. I agree with you, and also think there's a useful distinction.
-
@KommanderKlobb Also great is : "If you “catapault” something “into the mainstream”, isn’t that the same as throwing it in a river?"

If I wanted to play SimCity 2000 tonight, I probably could. If I wanted to play SimCity 5 in 19 years time, could I?
-
@psychicteeth @KommanderKlobb to be fair, someone'll hack up a offline mode in the next 19 years. But still!
-
@psychicteeth @KommanderKlobb In fact, thinking of it, pirating it seems the best way. No Origin bullshit to deal with.
-
@Carachan1 :< Fuck 'em. Give a shit, it's the only worthwhile way to be.
-
@robertpeacock22 what matters is intent, really. Are you doing it because it's awesome, or because it might make pirates lives harder?

@reallyfancy @asponge I sometimes agree, but sometimes find them fun to do. I wouldn't organize one myself because lazy and tiring, though.

@reallyfancy @asponge But fuck anyone who doesn't make the crunch overnight stuff completely optional.
