Good news! Poached eggs exist, and you can eat them!

@Carachan1 congrats on the Sunday Papers link! (the article was pretty good, too)

@DGoodayle @robinlacey they still need warrants for the contents. You need automated chaff emails and traffic to defeat traffic analysis.
-
@DGoodayle @robinlacey or just tunnel everything to your server sitting in that mythical secure place.
-
@robinlacey @DGoodayle the more I think on it, the more fucked technically the mail part seems.
-
@robinlacey @DGoodayle and Tor isn't a great idea if you're worried about people reading what you send. Fine with the tunnel to Mordor.
-
@DGoodayle @robinlacey that stopped being true in the 90s. Or if it didn't, governments are being unusually good at pretending otherwise.
-
me and @Draknek have made @#!/petermolydeux/143052751784525824 as an interactive theatrical experience #molyjam
-
It's actually really funny, and really awkward and creepy.
-
@KommanderKlobb @Draknek if you want! I'm pretty proud of it, but no-one wants to play.
-
@KommanderKlobb @Draknek (which I can understand -- it feels a bit like Jam)
-
And here's the writeup! v21.posterous.com/holding-the-baby (with excellent photos of @Draknek)
-
@doougle @KommanderKlobb @Draknek apparently cradling a Krispy Kreme donut box like a baby and cooing isn't appealing. I don't get it either
-
@beatonna @KommanderKlobb Nooo! I binged yesterday and wanted more. But this existed and I saw it back then.

@Cunthorse shock-a-lot/chocolate?

I am rewarding myself for waking up in time for my stop by getting fried chicken.
-
@robrotic wasn't even great fried chicken, but I am still completely free of regrets.
-
@patrickashe Yes, yes, $15. I remembered to put it in my bag specially.
-
@reallyfancy That was my favorite jam theme that never got used : "A game that takes longer to play than it did to make"
-
What would Edward Tufte do?
-
@Cunthorse The tech in QR codes is pretty cool. Like the work done to make them tolerant to noise/errors. The conventions for data within.

@nameoftheyear I love the idea that the ongoing game balance is out of your hands, as @Horse_ebooks emits more tweets.

@iamtef oh wow if you click on a segment it detaches with a nice ease but there's no point to doing that.

-
@FrameworkTrain I don't know if this is a confession or a boast, but it was me and @Draknek that made the Holding the Baby, not Parkamour.
-
@Carachan1 @rclarke Oh shit, and both parts of the social games ghost story. And his autobiography was pretty intense and vivid.
-
@ElectronDance so often the way! I love jokes that can be unpacked out into entire essays.
-
@S0phieH which reminds me I was going to buy Pixexix! Let's go do that now.
-
@S0phieH Ah, don't worry about that. Was playing with it last week and really liking it. Though you should really get on that PSD support...
-
@S0phieH Would be ace to have each snapshot be a PSD with the previous snapshots in separate layers. Can see image quality advantages too.
-
@jennatar It was! I should actually connect to that irssi session every so often, huh?

@Norgg You helped make Parkamour! I had no idea. It's really good.

Everyone's loving my @lucky_frame GDC swag T-shirt. Pugs!
-
@edclef nonsense! go full ponce!
-
@asponge It's relative to a baseline.
-
I like making games in which I don't know how players will play.
-
@KommanderKlobb @jwaaaap dya want the solid adventures, or the mad stuff?
-
@KommanderKlobb @jwaaaap Double Star is about a down and out actor impersonating a political figure after he was kidnapped. IN SPACE.
-
@KommanderKlobb @jwaaaap The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress is about a penal colony ON THE MOON teaming up with an AI to gain independence.
-
@KommanderKlobb @jwaaaap Tunnel in the Sky is a Boy's Adventure about kids stranded on an alien planet with guns.
-
@KommanderKlobb @jwaaaap Stranger in a Strange Land is about a Martian Jesus figure returning to Earth, and Heinlein wanting hot secretaries
-
@jwaaaap @KommanderKlobb Ooh, I've not read that one. But much love for the juveniles. Remembering Starman Jones now...
-
@HilariousCow @edclef I really would like to make a modern realistic war game.
-
@HilariousCow @edclef quote from a war photographer : if you see a gun, it's probably not war.
-
@HilariousCow @edclef really informed by for instance exiledonline.com/cat/war-nerd/ . The game is probably impossible/badly specced.
-
@ColinNorthway @JordanFehr @ADAMATOMIC this is the normal answer. Then you go back to twitter til someone else gets mad enough to blog.

Just discovered "Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms" by David MacKay exists. I am excited! inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/itprnn/book.pdf
-
The background is that I have heard for ages that Bayesian statistics kick the arse out of t-tests etc, but I don't really know them at all.
-
And that I am a huge fan of David MacKay - he wrote the best book on climate change (Without Hot Air), and invented text input method Dasher

"this hidden gem actually started development before the similar 'Splosion Man was revealed." I do not understand this copywriting.

@kitrichardsonuk sarcastic "fun" or real fun? either way, hello! I have not seen you in far too long! we should meet up!
-
@ashleygwinnell SCANDALOUS
-
I usually build games as interesting systems. But recently I've been thinking I should build them as beautiful experiences instead.
-
Still can't be bothered to tell stories, mind.
-
@Slaktus they taste great together, but you gotta pick one to focus on, just for reasons of scope.
-
@edclef c'mon, put a full ecology in Proteus. With population crashes and migrations and a Nitrogen cycle! And badgers!
-
@Slaktus I guess I mean focusing on creating affect in the player, and bending all of the game towards that goal.
-
@Slaktus Mother 3 describes itself as "Funny, heartrending and strange". And the game systems are completely secondary to that.
-
@Slaktus is the focus the interplay of systems, or the focus greed and naivety? of course you need systems, but are they the point?
-
@brandonnn you bastard.
-
@brandonnn you are entirely forgiven.

Not going to do any more work today.

This boat race is ridiculous.

@cucumberoneye I owe figurimg out some arc-ball rotation code to an empty box of PG Tips.

@KommanderKlobb this is a mean thing to discuss so publicly, but I like puzzling things out before any walkthroughs, reviews, discussion.

Wondering if I can just describe some of @increpare 's games and win the #cdboegoacc competition.

-
@Dick_Hogg @jennatar I did put up a "DON'T READ THIS SITE IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED FEZ" up. I just like seeing people's workings.

-
@haikus_by_KN @KBsGameTOILET we totally threw one! (Which doesn't mean it shouldn't happen again)
-
@LewieP @Carachan1 I concur with Lewie.
-
Between dancing to DAT Politics last night, and stealing eggs from aliens with Fire Hazard today, I've got a lot of exercise this weekend.
-
@cunthorse this seems like the best answer you're going to get answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/534555.html
-
@cunthorse why magic cookie? the internet does not seem to provide a satisfactory answer.
-
@brandonnn @mareodomo @krispiotrowski oh man, liquid yolk is the best. i poach just to get more of it.
-
@infinite_ammo @MattThorson that's a really neat trick. i'll be using that!
-
@annashipman I'd be interested just in relationship between estimates and time taken. When are estimations good? Is a "S" half a "M"?
-
@annashipman And separating out time to do work, and the overhead time of categorizing/getting it in/finalized. What has the most overhead?
-
@brandonnn @mareodomo @krispiotrowski @nateberna man, if I stopped eating food because it was theoretically gross, I'd be a lot hungrier.
-
SORRY FOR THE CAPS, EVERYONE.
-
@thomasapage tell me you're watching the original.
-
@raiganburns @edclef @brandonnn I went to the same place from albumen. If you haven't seen it, youtube.com/watch?v=wfvEgWINUFc is the best video ever.
-
@raiganburns well, i mean, everyone has played some kind of game before. playing is a human universal, same as language.
-
@raiganburns more like "how long until someone who has never read a novel before starts being engaged with yours"
-
@docky LD will be no different. Expect to see Notch's livestream frontpage on HN all weekend, frinstance.
-
@docky I know how you feel, though, but the alternative is pretty demonstrably worse.
-
@jennatar now I want a cheese toastie, but all I have is halloumi.
-
@jennatar but on the other hand, halloumi is fucking amazing, so I guess I'll get by.

"Blow is the only developer ... who speaks of Italo Calvino’s influence on his work" -- fuck off! ludomancy.com/blog/2008/09/03/i-wish-i-were-the-moon/ blog.radiator.debacle.us/search/label/zobeide
-
thinking further on it... it would be hilarious if @danielben or @radiatoryang got the Atlantic to issue a correction.
-
@terrycavanagh @increpare I also love, and talk about Calvino, though again, no direct inspiration. Some day I'll make a Calvino game...
-
@terrycavanagh @increpare I'd love to steal make If On A Winter's Night A Traveller... in videogame form. Would work well, I think.
-
@terrycavanagh @increpare And I was thinking of Castle Of Crossed Destinies when making that Proteus card game.
-
@thomasapage i am shocked beyond belief that this is the case.
-
@sdtipps probably - I love Calvino. And have been inspired by him. But that's not anything special.
-
I read excerpts from that article to @asponge. It was a cruel thing to do and I'm sorry.
-
@doougle I read the article and it is so bad. On pretty much every level. Kind of impressive.
-
@asponge oh no, it's spelt "Blovian"
-
@asponge you're a games journalist, you should know this.
-
@benmilsom o wow. congratulations!
-
@danielben @radiatoryang well, he's not wrong. Stupid article. But still huge respect for Jon Blow.
-
@radiodario I know exactly where you are...
-
@SurplusGamer I would love to post them up, I am making a tumblr for people's Fez notes.
-
@jennatar if i was rich, my kitchen would be full of silicone.
-
@metasynthie ooooh, shit! interested to see how that turns out. on my list of Things To Make Someday is a boring Library of Babel sim.
-
@oh_cripes @doougle the part that gets my goat is ... well, there are a number of things.
-
@oh_cripes @doougle 1) Trashing the games output of everyone but Jon Blow (and Marc ten Bosch, I guess). Fuck him for that.
-
@oh_cripes @doougle 2) comparing games to movies for a chunk, then a chunk about how games oughtn't try to be movies. Read yourself!
-
@oh_cripes @doougle 3) awful similes "everything he said slid off my brain like raindrops off Gore-Tex", fer Christsakes.
-
@oh_cripes @doougle 4) Is a tool in that special The Atlantic way, which is probably well captured here : thebaffler.com/notebook/2012/04/omniscient_gentlemen_of_the_atlantic
-
@oh_cripes @doougle And exemplified by this quote: "When the narrator speaks of his guilt over spending millions to create an island filled"
-
@oh_cripes @doougle "with puzzles instead of using that money for worthier causes, this is Blow’s real spiritual dilemma."
-
@oh_cripes @doougle (what suffering! what anguish! to spend your millions creating art!) As @asponge says, it's a 7 year old's moral dilemma
-
@compositeredfox Live your life in a sustainable way. 'cus fuck, you're not going to stop making games, or wanting to see friends.
-
@metasynthie when I first played, rotating the world felt like the most natural thing in the world to do. The puzzles, though...
-
@lefishy ExternalInterface.call("eval", "return location.search;"); ?

@lefishy might need fucking around with, but that's the basic approach.

@BRKeogh @Carachan1 hahahaha, it must be a good idea then! Wanna join forces?
-
@BRKeogh @Carachan1 (last night I was searching for notes to put up, and considered @-ing you to ask for yours... heh)

@krystiansamp I would love that! Please do! (I've just added in a tad more attribution)

@tigershungry @BRKeogh send yours in!

@edclef @cucumberoneye man, you've got good taste in colours, Ed.
-
@krystiansamp yep, that's the one!
-
@guided1 Nooo. Sorting submissions is like playing Russian Roulette with spoilers.
-
@guided1 I am over 100% though. Helps when you get access a week early...
-
@DGoodayle I think it makes you sound like you're asking people to irritate their friends for a unvaluable thing.

@oh_cripes to be fair here, I do, but only because I read that ad.

@doougle <3 that article. been thinking of talking at GameCamp about performing game design live...
-
@smestorp I think it was @compositeredfox who told me he did (not that but similar) whenever he didn't have any other sounds.
-
@smestorp @compositeredfox I was sceptical in the kind of way that means I am probably wrong but don't want to admit it yet.
-
Dunno if it counts as a bug, but I love the slowdown on Bangai-O Spirits when you launched 100 large bullets. Feels awesome. #BestBugs
-
@garethbriggs you can literally see the frames chug in. but it feels great. Feels like you're so awesome, you made the game struggle.
-
@garethbriggs (& it happens when you've reflected enemy bullets - it's actually a moment when you should be in no danger)

o shit, Botanicula is out today! been looking forward to this for quite some time.

Spelltower remains an amazing game, and you should buy it if you haven't yet. Also, it's half price right now. itunes.apple.com/us/app/spelltower/id476500832?mt=8

@smestorp it's meaningless and pointless form of it, but I'll still cheer that my team has more points than their team.
-
@doougle @edclef @christianmccrea I watched them and didn't get it. Then I thought for a while about game design. Now I find them perfect.
-
@edclef @doougle @christianmccrea @dkanaga I just mean as accompaniment to writings on games as rhythm &
-
@LewieP ah! Now the truth comes out!
-
@LewieP it's okay, you're allowed.
-
@jon_ellis @Carachan1 yes, yes it is. It's fantastic. How did you know?
-
@Carachan1 think of the brilliant tits we saw this evening, and soar on.
-
@alexjprice I have actually had just hot water at those places. It's surprisingly tasty!
-
@Carachan1 @kierongillen oh man, the other night me and Alice sang along to every fuckin' word of that, it was fantastic.
-
@Gillespionage @therussmorris oh, that's an annoying website.
-
@smestorp might actually try that to score my next game.

@docky hey, I am techy, and I do use full-on source control for minor projects, and I think it's painful and wish it were less so.

@doougle <3 you too!

@roderickhodgson "modulating light"
-
@benmilsom Dya want another Mac, or not? If not, I like Thinkpads -- they're hard to destroy. If you do, just buy whatever's in budget.
-
@benmilsom Computing power has stopped ramping up aggressively, like it used to. Blame consoles, maybe, or just that everything's a website.
-
@benmilsom which means yr bog standard laptop will be able to run most things. Even onboard gfx is alright these days.
-
@Slaktus @benmilsom not happy with my explanation either, but the fact is computers get obsolete slower these days.
-
@Slaktus @benmilsom & for the GPU, I think consoles are part of the explanation.
-
@Slaktus @benmilsom I guess a lot of the focus has been on reduced power usage/heat instead. Mobile/server, that matters a lot more.
-
@benmilsom @Slaktus I spent > £1000 on my Thinkpad. But £300 of that was for a sweet warranty. £ per year it'll work...

@patrickashe to be honest i don't ever go to record shops. i buy music when i am at gigs and when i get really excited on the internet.

@patrickashe it's always a case of momentary excitement overcoming me. often when drunk.

@patrickashe it's probably a bad way to be, but then i should also get paid more, so whatever.

@patrickashe I would have poached eggs on toast for breakfast, but I have no bread.
-
@pippinbarr it's worth going on for a least a little more.
-
@rclarke it's not about the output, it's about the act of creation. it's recreational, not work.
-
@rclarke of course, of course. but I still take issue with calling the process a waste. a waste of what?
-
@aanand there's a tumblr that would love pics of those pages...
-
@rclarke oh man, I've recently been kind of despairing at how un-rare gamejams are. there's one every other weekend. (which is great, but)

@rclarke also valuable to have a place where failing is totally okay. Which naturally produces a lot of stillborn games.

Gonna have to have a think about a game for the H&S sandpits. Still want to make that secret agent game (last time it became about drugs)
-
@ashleygwinnell @oh_cripes @KommanderKlobb I was thinking I should learn some C++... Think I've just been put off for another year.

@LewieP I cruelly ignored you! but I can come! shall I get a ticket!?
-
RT @D_Nye_Griffiths: @Slaktus @LewieP I understand @big_ben_clock - which tweets "BONG" repeatedly - has a Klout score of 69 and is infl ...

@asponge it's not his penis -- it's a small yorkshire terrier he's smuggling down there.
-
Just bought Noitu Love 2. The thing that clinched it was that apparently you can finish it in an hour.

The demoscene is going open-source displayhack.org/2012/the-great-demoscene-sourcecode-giveaway/
-
@LewieP they expected everyone else would?
-
@SiriHoho nooo, it's a friend's birthday.
-
@ashleygwinnell hmm-hmmm?!

@reallyfancy oh man, old computer memory is really interesting. like the delay line memory that used a retroreflector left on the moon.

@KommanderKlobb it's all I ever wanted to be.
-
@patrickklepek @jennatar I am pleased! Delightful news to find out. @BRKeogh also helps run it, too.
-
@asponge south! You need to go south!
-
@asponge no worries; glad I could help.
-
@asponge You have now arrived at your destination.
-
My fingers are too cold and slow from cycling in in the rain to type easily.
-
@radiodario I was not at the pub! I was at a talks. But I would like to pub with you in the future.

@LeehSl @terriblebear I feel guilty. I should prop him up again.

@musebloom At first I read that literally.

Best argument in favour of a functional programming style for games I've read altdevblogaday.com/2012/04/26/functional-programming-in-c/

@doougle for some reason, just read what you mean by low process intensity. Now really curious as to what you spoke about today.

@whitingjp oh, thems some lovely words.

@kitrichardsonuk I am! But I am going to the theatre beforehand, so I'll probably have to meet you there.
-
@kitrichardsonuk I've got a ticket and everything. Though I will also have to be at E&C the next morning. Tiring times!
-
@kitrichardsonuk also, I just noticed that @asponge has a Facebook account! I swear she has denied it up until now.
-
@Carachan1 man, I don't even listen to my own podcast on iTunes. (But I did hear @99coins earlier - it was excellent!)
-
@Carachan1 It was great apart from the point where I started freaking out about being an adult and friends doing such a professional thing.

-
oh christ, of course it would be something stupid like that
-
@HilariousCow you remember your awesome suggestion last night that I said I wasn't going to do? I did it, and it's pretty awesome.
