Halloween username!
-
@benxo Trello seems to be the standard choice here.
-
@Carachan1 I would watch the hell out of that.
-
@failnaut It's a system that hits it's peak demand at the same time as it's also being tried out at scale for the first time.
-
@failnaut Plus people don't spend enough on servers. But also building an architecture that can scale up arbitrarily is really really hard.
-
@failnaut Then it would be far more expensive to build, and probably cost more to run, even once you've scaled down.
-
@failnaut And likely, it would still have teething troubles, as per first tweet.
-
@TwoDaemon @failnaut Like, I totally agree they _should_. But that's a hard thing to do, and also hard to test accurately in advance.
-
@severalbees That sounds like the Kardashians going out to karaoke.
-
@severalbees What the hell are you talking about? Dancing is cardio. DANCING.
-
@severalbees DANCING
-
@severalbees I want to go dancing now.
-
@PeopleIKnow lick a hammer
-
@garethbriggs @severalbees Endorphins are the new white wine.
-
@TwoDaemon @failnaut To be fair, I don't. How often do you have a big bang launch, with peak users for the full lifetime on Day 1?
-
@TwoDaemon @failnaut This is the main thing that makes this especially difficult, to my mind.
-

-
RT @Dick_Hogg: A REAL TOUGH GUY works really hard! He works weekends. he works late into the night. He's pretty tough.
-
RT @Dick_Hogg: A REAL TOUGH GUY hardly ever sees his wife or kids. He lives on energy drinks and 11pm pizza deliveries. I told you he was T…
-
@haikus_by_KN @jwaaaap started it.
-
@haikus_by_KN @jwaaaap that's why I like the name! It starts ambitious, then lets you down.
-
@hannahnicklin two mirrors and hesitation, or a bit of groping around and some big chops?
-
@Carachan1 @keefstuart ooooh, book me! I'll be around til Friday (then jetting back for Playful)
-
@christinelove whoa! That's looking great in multiple senses!
-
@JennyJenJenna oh wow, you finally pulled the trigger. :D
-
@hannahnicklin this is what awaits me tomorrow!
-
@hannahnicklin though I might just cut off the sides...
-
@Britishgaming I was really enjoying Pixel This! Until this happened :
-
@Britishgaming also
-
@Britishgaming which led to this:
-
@brandonnn maaaaan, I know. I know.
-
@Carachan1 @LeehSl @10rdBen @brandonnn @christianmccrea first remarked upon in 1946 slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2012/11/30/_welp_slang_term_has_longer_history_than_you_might_think.html (I looked this up the other day)
-
@Carachan1 @10rdBen @christianmccrea oh, god, yeah, that place was awful. I once went there wrapped in a duvet cuz I was ill.
-
@Britishgaming I... Don't think so. Pretty sure that at least one of the times, that wasn't it.
-
@radiatoryang @jakevsrobots wait, this is a weird assignment anyway. Do they need to trick someone else into playing honestly with them?
-
@radiatoryang @jakevsrobots or do they all gather to play a cheaty game together, and ignore the cheaters deliberately?
-
@bfod I very rarely use Unity coroutines, because they're hard to cancel & resume (though our dialogue system is non-Unity coroutines)
-
@bfod reading your answers, probably .GetComponent<>(). Also have some favourite Mathf stuff (and some not so favourite)
-
@bfod recently, though, my biggest crush has been Linq. Generic Lists and Linq is what this game is built on. That's again not Unity, though
-
@Carachan1 wait, what's wrong with serial monogamy?
-
@KommanderKlobb @lingmops @xiotex @MituK Previous work was pretty bad sexism: but those guys were completely capable of being adults...
-
@KommanderKlobb @lingmops @xiotex @MituK ... in other contexts. But the culture reinforced bad behaviour and attitudes.
-
@KommanderKlobb @lingmops @xiotex @MituK A genuine solution a manager had used at a previous company was hiring a female dev/artist who ...
-
@KommanderKlobb @lingmops @xiotex @MituK ... would have a thick skin and would be capable of smacking down that kind of shit. Fun for her!
-
@failnaut $195 ?!
-
@patrickashe Places To Look on wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Archive/New_Space_2010 (few years out of date, but..)
-
@failnaut @WhisperBat Even easier to make in batches if you make stencils.
-
@patrickashe @smestorp Some stuff still on gumtree, worth chasing up?
-
@patrickashe @smestorp Oh, and FYI, I had an awful experience with Midtown hostel, so avoid there if you can?
-
@patrickashe @smestorp (gave me a bed in a corridor, then gave that to someone else the second night.Then tried to charge me in full anyway)
-
@patrickashe @smestorp When I said: gave it to someone else, I meant I arrived back at 3 am to find someone asleep in it. Not good.
-
@patrickashe @smestorp ow many did you book it for? I'm leaving Thursday night, btw.
-
@lingmops yep, pretty much.
-

He's been charged with soliciting someone to kill someone who threatened to dox part of the userbase (also the drugs thing)
-
Some of this shit is amazing: 1,229,465 transactions on SR since Feb, 2011. At current Bitcoin rates, that's $1.2 billion in revenue.
-
@tef Just at that point now. Bit depressing, to be honest.
-
@tef @peregrine I wouldn't be surprised if it does, though. In a general purpose event log, if not somewhere more specialized.
-
@KommanderKlobb @LewieP Ha. Me, I've ended up not buying stuff because I can't get it direct/through Humble.
-
whee, bitcoins! bitcoinity.org/markets/bitstamp/USD
-
Okay, okay, I see the value of short lines of code now. Just had a sneaky little "File.Delete(filePath);" hiding out offscreen.
-
I feel a lot saner now, though. Was about to go check that "File.ReadAllLines" didn't, y'know, delete the file once it was done with it.
-
@jennatar Earlier, I was Literally Thinking "I bet Jenn has a great idea for a Halloween name. She's always so good at that stuff."
-
@jennatar That's a relief to my creativity (I'm using an iteration of the one you helped me with last year, so)
-
@jennatar a previous relationship lasted about 2 months before either of us said anything nice to the other one. That was pretty great...
-
@empika This was like, over twice that. It reads pretty clearly, but yes, it does have ~4 different concepts in it. gyazo.com/b4f69765f62a2148c83c7c15a7246c66
-
@jennatar I genuinely worry about my ability to be sincere romantically. :/
-
@HilariousCow you love shouting in vines, though.
-
Starting to wish I was in LA... just a little bit.
-
Twine Tasting tonight! At 8, Top Office Machines, more details : tinyletter.com/twinetasting/letters
-
@kitrichardsonuk no, I didn't, but probably just because my phone is upstairs. (Sorry). Brick Lane again? 1?
-
@WhisperBat just a proposal for now.
-
@MagInTheSmoke @PeteOlympian You're on Twitter?!
-
@PeteOlympian @MagInTheSmoke No, I know you are. You're old hat.
-
@tigershungry Finally!
-
@HilariousCow I STILL haven't fucked with feedback loops in RenderTextures yet. Should really do that, huh?
-
@TomNullpointer @HilariousCow Next thing I wanna try is to somehow extract motion vectors... dunno how possible this will be.
-
@TomNullpointer @HilariousCow For that "someone deleted all the keyframes" effect...
-
@st33d that's a shame. Next time!
-
@HilariousCow @TomNullpointer I do not know what "projection" or "scrobbling" means in that tweet, but I would like to find out.
-
@BionicSheep shit, I never responded to this, did I? 8, anyway.
-
@timmorgan you'd need two-which I don't think is possible at the moment.
-
@BitSocket @LewieP @87th oh, what an honour! Don't think we've got any clean footage lying around, unfortunately - @KommanderKlobb ?
-
@smestorp @patrickashe gas that worked out? Can I piggyback it? (I guess I should actually find somewhere myself, huh. So lazy.)
-
@tigershungry @n0wak your avatar was already great, but that Halloween flair has classed it up amazingly.
-
@AdamPye oh, ha. You should have just turned up! We were about starting Actually Talking About The Game then.
-
Today I modified code generation code I wrote a little while ago, and it wasn't a big ball of string and I was successful!
-
@tef I am assuming it went well, and congratulations on it going well. Clashed with my twine thing!nor I would have been there. Next time!
-
@radiodario Whoaaaa, super cool. You coming to Drinking In Parks this weekend? Be good to see you!
-
@mcclure111 tweets like this make me want to be in LA.
-
@kylepulver I think I've ported my Unity post processing stuff to GLSL. Want a copy? If not, I also have the Cg (Unity) versions (p similar)
-
@kitrichardsonuk just tweeting you in the hopes I remember to burn you a copy of Top of the Lake.
-
@BionicSheep yeah! Those I know, anyway. @sashagoblin, @kitrichardsonuk, @D_Nye_Griffiths & @tigershungry. Was a great night!
-
I dreamt I was comparing the iOS keyboard and Swype.
-
@failnaut I made a game about that once nottheinternet.com/blog/object-jam-early-entry/

@sashagoblin but you've read @puahate_txt !

@leighalexander I once got a Scottish £1 note, and it was really exciting, but then I was poor and spent it almost immediately :(

@sashagoblin oh, I thought I remembered you saying you had. It's the worst thing. (And, no, not satire) @puahate_txt
-
I wonder if there are any panels I could wrangle my way onto at GameCity. I want to show off, but I don't want to have to prepare a thing...
-
@sam_cook @sashagoblin through our mutual appreciation of videogames made in Twine, of course!
-
This cat is soft and comfortable, apart from the spiky bits she keeps putting into my belly. Stop--!
-
@martinhollis this would be a fair response! Luckily the response to this might be enough that I can propose a panel myself.
-
@martinhollis it's a shame panels are kind of awful, huh?
-
@patrickashe @edclef @tigershungry but they're so large, a panel was my way of escaping from have to carry lots of heavy shit to GC.
-
o-mighty.com/products/156/all/3208 The main question I have about this is: will it fit my laptop.
-
@ColinNorthway @mwegner I assume he was lying to deflect attention from himself?
-
@helenlewis The fallout from the Kotaku article (and RTing) was a bigger deal than the original incident.
-
@helenlewis That the two people in the center of this have come together in an attempt to stop the hate flowing in both directions is...
-
@smestorp They also have a WordArt one.
-
@KommanderKlobb try using glue?

@D_Nye_Griffiths @philippawarr @botherer We're having a tournament at London Indies on Monday. I need to go collect mine today.

-
@brandonnn @ADAMATOMIC Oh, I bet it's because of that sodding parallax effect they've added.
-
Ceilidhs! They're great. (I was just at one)

@frankcifaldi @brandonnn I was just about to ask if you had the flashcarts etc sorted for it.Music system is out of sync, makes battles hard

@terrycavanagh hey, nice name!

"Users who have already purchased your app are now able to download previous versions," : excellent change from Apple.
-
I hope whoever stole my bike (from outside my front door, 2 stories up!) enjoys trying to cycle it with no chain on.
-
@Poxican yes. Maybe I should buy better locks?
-
@nachimir @AlanZucconi @Poxican Yeah - the more worrying thing is that it's two floors up, behind a door that needs a fob to open.
-
@nachimir @AlanZucconi @Poxican Had a bike nicked from that same spot, to be fair, but at that point we had scaffolding up.
-
This is the best order confirmation email I have ever received gyazo.com/bd34e0052fedce2e86d85d50593ad2fe

@nachimir mayyyyybe

@tef go to sleep

@tef I am also in bed. I just walked from ... Island Gardens? Now I sleep. Zzzzzzz

It seems like every one is at Indiecade and getting drunk and having good times. Or at Indiecade and washing their hair.
-
Let's go see if we can find some conkers!
-
@zoequinnzel whoa, that's super cool. are these like, a standard thing these days?
-
@thacher @hengineer @doougle is doing what he can to build one in to the Sportsfriends version of Joust.
-
@lingmops ooooh, whatcha making? (Looks like ... a crossroads?)
-
@patrickashe @KommanderKlobb @tigershungry I'm skipping vinegar. Oven some tomorrow. But I have made a mecha-conker monstrosity.
-
@lingmops ooooh, I found that really satisfying to do when I had to do it before. Though I tried implementing Painter's, got confused...
-
@lingmops ... and ended up doing it some somewhat custom way that suited my data format better.
-
@lingmops also: bah to putting yourself down, yay to professional improvement.

This 1348 line long class that generates .cs files from Twine files is going to horrify anyone else who works on this project, isn't it?

@patrickashe @tigershungry @KommanderKlobb yeah, I got some of that with my "roasters". But one seems to have profited despite that...

-
Whoa, shit, the PS4 controller works on PCs? <3 <3 <3. Now if only all platforms supported it as natively as they do the Xbox ones right now
-
Also, if only Sony would send Wild Rumpus a big box of them, so we could scrabble around for controllers less for our events.
-
(We have a lot of PS3 controllers, but absolutely hate using them, because they need fiddly cracked Chinese software to work for events)

@nyarluu you are making me want to learn puzzlescript Right Now, and it is 1:30am here.

@infovore I love SAFU.

Man, it really is impossible to get a shareable URL for a Google Drive doc from an iOS device, isn't it?

@mcclure111 @thealexmoyler oh, okay, it turned out the update labelled "bug fixes" introduced a whole new interface. Now I can see them.

@beckwig are you looking for a new hobby, or for bits of plastic shaped like particular things?

-
@patrickashe hello!
-
At London Indies last night I got to play KAMI, out on Thursday. It's a great puzzle game, and looks beautiful, too. stateofplaygames.com/work/kami/
-
Puzzlescript Q: Can I trigger a rule when I press the action button whilst the player is overlapping another entity? (cc @increpare)
-
@lefishy @increpare Of course. Thanks!
-
Puzzlescript status: I started making this game about 2 hours ago. I now understand Puzzlescript enough to be filing bug reports.
-
I am impressed.
-
Puzzlescript report: I made something pretty, but none of the levels are particularly interesting puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6892863 (Inspired by KAMI)
-
Ha, multiple players work... and can cycle indefinitely, of course they can: puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6893430
-
I should have been asleep a while ago. Here's as far as I've got coming up with interesting puzzles: puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6894433
-
I think I might need another colour? Definitely the uncoloured => red mechanic is super boring.
-
Also, I am posting to twitter as a form of saving my work? That seems weird.
-
@awesommelier Never any doubt.
-
@LewieP I am not sure that it would be a good thing for consoles to do bundles (from a devs perspective)
-
@joonturbo bug with your HTML -- on FF, the game looks like this: gyazo.com/d6244a7549b034e6619a66f280565a04 . I had the same happen with CUBES before...
-
@joonturbo ... you can see the fix at nottheinternet.com/games/cubes/ : basically, you have to specify that the html element has a height of 100%
-
@joonturbo should really package up a full page webpage unity webplayer template that fixes all these issues...
-
@joonturbo (I said to myself, about three years ago)
-
I made a game in Puzzlescript, and I think every part of it is good except maybe the puzzles: puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6899770
-
(Posting it in an attempt to stop thinking about it - real work to do)
-
@jonbro @HilariousCow whoa, shit, they have DOCUMENTATION for this now?
-
@jonbro @HilariousCow I had to learn this the hard way.
-
@jonbro Yeah, I had plans for those. There's probably good levels to be made combining the concepts sketched in individual levels.
-
@jonbro And lots of other things. But the amount of work needed to do all the things that would make happy with it...
-
@jonbro ... is actually only another full evening. But I won't have one of those til the weekend. So I'm shoving it out now.
-
@failnaut The internet is age-sensitive.
-
@awesommelier You'll get your Bentley eventually.
-
RT @jaffathecake: Uh oh, this man is Secretary of State for Education (publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201012/cmselect/cmeduc/uc1786-i/uc178601.htm via @jbolster)
-
Trying to think that through. That means all schools must improve by a minimum of the standard deviation of school quality each year, right?
-
I mean, that's to stand still with respect to their rating on the previous year.
-
Of course, all of which is merely a pretext for converting schools into academies once they fail to meet these insane targets.
-
From @rich_lem, Will Wright on elegant game design : instagram.com/p/fPKN1ox3jl/# I've been pushing back on this as a goal, the last while.
-
I'd rather a messy, rich, authored experience than elegance. Though I can still appreciate elegance when I see it, I've fallen out of love.
-
@garethbriggs Yeah, I was giving him credit, and inferring prev. year from "getting better all the time".
-
@smestorp keep doing what you're doing
-
@smestorp but really, simple rules leading to rich systems are good if the systems are good, not because of the economy of rules used.
-
@failnaut main thing is not buying stuff you can comfort eat, I find.
-
I thought working on Mutazione would mean that I would lose my desire to make a Tamagotchi-like game. But it hasn't. Maybe I'll make one?
-
Or a game about flying, maybe. I'm itching to make a game of my own these days.
-
@potatojin @increpare maybe spawn a new tile when you press action? can be irriating having to run around to spawn blocks for the last few
-
@retroremakes looking forward to getting time to play it at the weekend
-
@State_of_Play oh, wait, I never told you. I made a fan game of KAMI: puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6899770
-
@State_of_Play I never did properly get my teeth into the puzzle design, but I'm pretty chuffed with the animations...
-
This is my evening: gyazo.com/0e03159e30d1a3710b3233a185dd0f2c
-
@State_of_Play Ha, it proper had that feel to it. Like, the anims for empty => red are missing because I'd ran out of entities...
-
@State_of_Play The counters are this horrible hack job, the wall separating you from the score also determines if you've won...
-
@c_hedborg Whoa, that's gorgeous. Where's it from?
-
@compositeredfox @c_hedborg I keep wanting to. And then I keep looking at the prices. It's an endless cycle.
-
@c_hedborg @compositeredfox yeah, but I'm okay if the interactivity is just me getting to fuck with things.
-
@tigershungry whaaaaaaaat
-
That game I was talking about the other day (and made a fan-game of) has been released: itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id710724007?mt=8 Gorgeous flood-fill puzzles!
-
@retroremakes but I have to make a GAME first.
-
@retroremakes Or actually, there might be another Wild Rumpus before the year is out. Could do that (will book the venue first)
-
@patrickashe I do love it. But it is "not without it's flaws".
-
@LewieP Really depends on Intel getting their act together. Or game devs supporting ARM Linux by default, which seems distant too.
-
@LewieP Yeah -- but they've been trying pretty hard for the last few years and not managed it yet. And 3/4 years needs that to happen in 1/2
-
@LewieP Laptop-level onboard graphics are good enough, I reckon. Depending on the screen res.
-
@therussmorris :D Massive congratulations on the tiddler.

"Consent Is Sexy And Sexy Is Mandatory" rootveg.wordpress.com/2013/10/10/consent-is-sexy-and-sexy-is-mandatory/ (a lot I don't agree with in this, but the main point is really well put)
-
That post is also especially good to read if you're read The Well Played Game before.
-
@haikus_by_KN no interesting backstory here, I'm afraid.
-
@haikus_by_KN I've found the same. Where it gets even more uncertain is when fame is subjective.
-
@whitingjp @smestorp that's very gracious of you. I think I will take it then. Thank you both! And see you next week (and a bit)
-
@State_of_Play @KommanderKlobb Already OK'ed the lot (which is a distance from finishing it, I am aware)
-
@State_of_Play @KommanderKlobb I've been trying to come up with a puzzle that'd depend on that. No dice so far...
-
@State_of_Play I think I've almost implemented the full KAMI rules in Puzzlescript. Only a mere 120 lines in the Rules block...
-
I dreamt about an old digital camera that could swap body hair/pubes for normal hair.
-
@benthorizon and normal hair for pubes. You take a picture of one, then the other, then they'd swap.
-
@benthorizon needless to say, we had used it for pranks. But then I found it, and went to a clinic so I could grow a beard.

@awesommelier @substance2d @ghostsmut Deadly Premonition is the best game. I spent an enjoyable 3 days just watching Alice play.
-
@awesommelier @JancisRobinson Fantastic news! I'm heading off to Singapore (TO PUNCH CUSTARD) in the week, but the weekend...
-
@substance2d @awesommelier @ghostsmut No, it's for two bowls of custard, an Arduino and a PC. And some tinfoil.
-
@ammonite @BernieDeKoven I know right? It really stays with you, too.
-
@retroremakes I understand. And running a game properly is hard work. That said, from a practical level, it's great for playtesting.
-
@retroremakes Just bring a small stepladder...
-
I... hadn't planned to go to the pub with anyone, and suddenly realize this was a terrible mistake. Pub?
-
@seniath maybe I don't deserve to go to the pub, after all. (Following now)

@mcclure111 I feel maybe bad about this, but mainly just lazy. I don't identify as queer, I just sometimes like to sleep with men?

@doougle @metasynthie also, that episode where she pretended she was animatronic, and gave tours of her life as a typical teen. What?
-
@radiatoryang hey, no, that sounds like the ideal way to do a talk.
-
@patrickashe I'd be glad to help compile this myself (if we can do it in a day or two of solid work)
-
@KommanderKlobb Can we plaster it with Japanese teenage boy magazines?
-
@seniath that looks lush. Sorry I didn't make it out last night, and thank you for the invite anyway.
-
I stopped eating bread and now I'm constantly hungry.
-
@LewieP that sounds lovely!
-
@KommanderKlobb like, it's mainly to get me to cook more & more interestingly. Like, burger buns are fine. Just not sandwiches.
-
@haikus_by_KN mantroller?
-
@KommanderKlobb I'm feeling pretty good about it! It's making me eat a lot more vegetables, and cook more.
-
@haikus_by_KN oh. ha! Well, I'm sure you want rock hard abs, right? The tactility of videogames is hugely underrated.
-
Just watched Attack The Block. It's a really good movie! The dialogue gave me a feeling of cozy recognition. That is real South London!
-
"You get me, you get me" "Allow it" "Oi, let us cotch here" "'Cuz" "man" as an almost completely gender-neutral phrase "fam" "these ends"
-
@HilariousCow cotch is ... A place to crash, what you do when you're hanging round someone's house - to rest, to sleep, to relax etc
-
@HilariousCow like most of this slang, it was originally Jamaican - urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cotch
-
@HilariousCow bough apparently better spelt "kotch". There's an implication it's someone else's house you're hanging at, too.
-
Whoa, super cool: “@mtrc: I posted a new Saturday Paper today! It's about analysing stealth games in #Unity3D: gamesbyangelina.org/2013/10/the-saturday-paper-metal-gear-science/”
-
@martinhollis some things to look forward to: m.imgur.com/gallery/fcw0y
-
@philippawarr I found an amusing duck youtu.be/0WyWWAgtjYc
-
@webbedspace @smestorp saw Attack The Block, and got similar. It might always be London, but it's rarely South London teenage slang.
-
My laptop is slowly dying, so I'm shopping for a new one. But basically I want this one, but without it failing a little every so often.
-
This might be the curse of an upgradeable laptop -- it'd be nice to have an SSD, but I could just ... buy an SSD and fit it.
-
I could even spend £20 and replace the CD drive with a adaptor, and plug in my current HDD.
-
The main thing I want is higher res monitor. But I could even upgrade that, too, if I believed this laptop would last a few years longer.
-
@torahhorse Too much.
-
@LewieP @Carachan1 yes
-
@HilariousCow also has a third-person gender-neutral singular pronouns, in "yo"
-
@tigershungry @compositeredfox @Poxican I'm got a birthday drinks to go to. :/ But then I go up to Nottingham, so.
-

-
@Carachan1 you remember how, a week or two ago, you complained you hadn't written anything meaty and Significant in ages?
-
@Carachan1 and how you just put that meaty and Significant piece on Just Dance up?
-
@Carachan1 maybe you should just give up and accept that you're actually a really good writer?
-
@Billowper @edclef @KommanderKlobb thinkpads actually have little holes in them, to let the ale pass straight through

-
Weird personal archeology here. Experimentally booting off a hard drive I last used before I moved to this flat.
-
Old text files on the desktop. Chrome 15. Manufacturer utilities no longer present. Games I've not played in years still installed.
-
Should I submit Punch The Custard to The IGF?
-
@awesommelier the big indie games prize. It's the reason (along with the attached conference) I go to SF in March.
-
@awesommelier explaining that made me feel like I'm in High School.
-
@awesommelier @totalcurtis @RWHBray Yeah! Psyched for both those things. And I've heard Serpentine stuff is great, let's that as well.
-
@beckwig Wait. I'm confused, because there is someone at LHS who is offering free haircuts.
-
@beckwig Are you them?
-
@beckwig also, happy to be interviewed. Though I'm a pretty occasional user...
-
RT @aparrish: if you think you can get the "sentiment" of a text using purely lexical features, I'm really happy for you. good luck!
-
@pippinbarr whooo! My laptop's hard drive has also been giving me a lot of grief today. High-five involuntarily unproductive buddies!
-
@infovore though as @mcclure111 points out, male toilets and female toilets alike are both Samus?
-
@philippawarr @Carachan1 I would fav this three times, if I had but three favs to give.
-
@fullbright @philippawarr @brandonnn @Carachan1 This sounds awful. But morbid curiosity is spurring me on.
-
Anyone want to split a twin hostel room in Nottingham, Mon, Tues, Wed nights?
-
@zoequinnzel I did not know they had gotten so common! Really interesting, thanks for writing that up.
-
@lillianbehrendt It does! "youse"
-
@mcclure111 This answer is kind of boring and awful, but I just wanna go to work and follow traffic laws and live an entirely ordinary life.
-
@HilariousCow oh, shit, if i knew it was going to get coverage, i would have spent just a little more time on the puzzle design.
-
Oh, ha, my KAMI demake got in indiegames.com indiegames.com/2013/10/ios_pick_kami_by_state_of_play.html#more
-
@Carachan1 journalists making journalisms
-
@patrickashe @tigershungry Holy shit. I guess you really are leaving the country then. I can hardly believe it.
-
@jonty I want to watch astronauts playing Joust.
-
@haikus_by_KN @asponge will still be bored with her. I might have started wanting to play with her again. (yes)
-
@hannahnicklin oh, congrats! Many happy returns of the day!
-
@jonty Or, actually, any number of folk games would be interesting in 0G. I want to see how finger jousting would work.
-
@failnaut @patrickashe Subsidizing work he's charging you for...
-
@mtrc @zarawesome only works against deterministic guards, though, right?
-
@mtrc @zarawesome Also seems like it would be easily (ish) extensible into defeating enemies/hacking/etc, if not behind an execution test.
-
@mtrc @zarawesome Yeah, I guess every possible action adds a new dimension to the state space. Optimization + Monte Carlo seems fruitful?

-
About to see The Drowned Man
-
Holy! That was so great!
-
Spent a good amount of time following William and Mary, til I saw scenes again and suddenly they had context and pathos.
-
Also recommended for fans of the male torso. Of dancers.
-
Context: talking about seeing The Drowned Man. Theatre people: you already have an opinion on Punchdrunk. Others: I recommend you see it.
-
@tef @dnwood @WhyComputer @semanticist love you for that language on imposters, btw. We should have similar for LIndies.
-
@tigershungry I think *koff* it might *hrk!* be catching...!
-
@WhisperBat ah, shit. Good luck, I hope you ride on through soon.
-
@edjeff for some reason I thought of Jeff from Coupling there. But maybe that would work?
-
@brandonnn so... he's a hacker?
-
@HilariousCow you're not going to GameCity, are you? Could do with picking your brain on something.
-
@ADAMATOMIC whaaat? But this is the bit that's Pure Game Design, no fucking around and trying to make the damn thing run.
-
It is dreich outside, and we have run out of toilet paper.
-
Oh, ALSO great about The Drowned Man last night was how much Shangri-Las they play. (& one of the films was called "Leader of the Pack")
-
Sad to hear the German Christmas Market in Edinburgh isn't going to be there (not really) this year. edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/german-market-traders-snubbed-by-organisers-1-3142447
-
@dnwood @FollowTheCow ah, this is awful.
-
@awesommelier @totalcurtis @RWHBray likely have to spend part of the day stressing about imminent travel, but yeah!
-
Seemingly a thousand things to co-ordinate, all overlapping.
-
@psychicteeth again and again, I remember @HilariousCow's anecdote. "But you never even thanked us for the mattresses we brought you!"
-
@doougle Yep, that's pretty bad alright nytimes.com/2013/10/13/opinion/sunday/londons-great-exodus.html
-
@tef Y'know, I write blog posts in HTML.
-
@tef HTML is this cool markup language. It was invented for writing documents. It's text plus markup for things like headers and emphasis.
-
Lovely interview between @fullbright and @radiatoryang here: rockpapershotgun.com/2013/10/16/level-with-me-steve-gaynor/
-
@tef Sorry, yeah, I did actually figure you were doing a PDF thing, which was why you hadn't switched to HTML.
-
@tef That said, it is amazing how all these ersatz simple markup languages keep glomming up complexity and features.
-
@tef But then, I guess the same could be said for HTML, it's just got a head start.
-
@tef Yep! It's got a lot of things, but there's still only a memorizable number of ways to go out-of-band.
-
@philippawarr god damnit, god damnit. You're really making me regret deciding too many things were happening to come to this.
-
I'm speaking at A Conway Hall Conference! This is weird to me.
-
@benxo yep! Best bet is to get there at 6ish, not much of a queue then. And it's BYOB.
-
@philippawarr @asponge oh god. I am dreading getting home, and then that shambling in.
-
I admire all the people who can do the things I do without making them look hideously amateurish.
-
I got coverage in The Guardian for a game I will, in the future, program theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2013/oct/04/aim-love-goldeneye-hollis-gamecity-nottingham
-
@KommanderKlobb I've spent all evening just running my hands over it.
-
@haikus_by_KN @KommanderKlobb an early version of that tweet ended "your beautiful wood"
-
Aaaaarghjargh. Where is that thingy that is USB at one end and SATA at the other? I even went to the Hackspace in case I left it there.
-
@c_hedborg EXCITE
-
@mcclure111 these are things I am thinking about for this Tamagotchi game! It's on iOS, so decisions based on smiling, or natural light.
-
@mcclure111 also Knock-Knock feels this way, except that bad things happen, and you can't tell if you caused it. Great game.
-
@mcclure111 @droqen @ExciteMike @piesaac yeah, I reckon it's inefficiency. And knowing all the details. Every block, handplaced. "Craft"
-
@adventuresofrob I kinda disagree. I would imagine hey would have a procedure, and they would have people routinely not following it.
-
@adventuresofrob it's really nice! If the documentation is lacking, try the sensible thing, fix compiler errors, and it might well work.
-
@Carachan1 @tinysubversions oh yeah! And we were playing with Daft Punk in there at Roskilde. Turns out dancing makes you lose.
-
@Sweden But it's not about the size of the breasts, really. It's about female characters getting to be real people.
-
@Sweden Saying it's about large tits has the effect of making it seem like people who have large tits aren't real people.
-
@genmon I felt exactly the same when I saw it the night before last.
-
What studio would you commission to make Punchdrunk : the videogame? (assuming such a thing would be desirable, which is a bit dubious)
-
Main candidates I'm thinking of are Ice-Pick Lodge, Fullbright Company, or thechineseroom.
-
@_mynameisbruce @Sweden "real people" was a bit of a shorthand. I guess a more meaningful distinction is a sense of "interiority".
-
@_mynameisbruce @Sweden (and also: as I said, physical characteristics are only loosely associated with this)
-
@_mynameisbruce @Sweden "interiority" meaning that the characters have an inner life, believable motivations, that they're not there...
-
@_mynameisbruce @Sweden ..merely to be viewed as a pair of tits or The Biceps You Wish You Could Have.
-
@whitingjp @KommanderKlobb Honestly don't think I've ever had occasion to write a sorting algorithm myself.
-
@Superpig "Punch the Custard" ! From the first time I showed that game, in Holland Park for @hidingseeking's Sandpit.
-
@mildlydiverting @moleitau well, for example: I need to write some code soon that plays an RTSP stream full-screen and overlays an image.
-
@mildlydiverting @moleitau which is pretty trivial, and I can write that. Or I could use VLCs logo overlay effect, which needs 0 LOC.
-
@moleitau @mildlydiverting @timoarnall I would also recommend contemporary-home-computing.org/turing-complete-user/
-
@Gillespionage yeah, but... It's gonna be about £1400 to get a equivalent replacement, so I'm eking it out.
-
@raiganburns @aeiowu yeah, every time it's like "an update? Don't give me that crap. I wish this game just had an .exe I could click"
-
I wish London had an Oakland next door, to run to with all the other people that can't afford to live there.
-
Like, where are we supposed to go? Essex? Kent? Maybe we could all move to Brighton...
-
@smestorp I could happily live in Edinburgh again for a few years. But maybe not longer than that. I don't know.
-
@KommanderKlobb aw, c'mon. That place would have a half-life of about a year, faced with serious gentrification.
-
@tigershungry @KommanderKlobb But Oakland has great Mexican food, and great... hey, @dkanaga! where'd we go that I left my iPad at?
-
@compositeredfox @tigershungry @KommanderKlobb @dkanaga Yeah! Fuck. I just realized that swearing off bread also means swearing off Bahn Mi.
-
@VitaminPowered Exactly! That's Oakland. @smestorp got robbed at gunpoint (pellet-gun, but still) earlier this year.
-
Not eating bread has really made me appreciate bread. Bread is great, everyone.
-
Sorry to coeliacs and other non-wheat eaters -- you guys are missing out.
-
I only just realized that Bahn Mi is made of bread. And now I really want Bahn Mi.
-
So: I am running a Twine Tasting at GameCity. What game(s) should we talk about?
-
@droqen @terriblebear Oh! My poor dead twitterbot.
-
RT @DadaLimericks: A. An ardent proponent of minimalism / Now I'm leaning toward skepticism...
-
@Carachan1 wait, Snapchat seems to have lost a message. Did you get me in a fedora, or me asking you a serious question?
-
@Carachan1 I decided to go with Brooklyn Trash King and rat chaos over Anne Hathaway: Erotic Mouthscape and Mastaba Snoopy.
-
@LewiePsMummy @gamecity @Carachan1 I actually decided against it in the hopes that it'd mean Cara could come along!
-
@st33d @Carachan1 Well, we've got a Google Groups to discuss what to play next now!
-
@jonbro OSX in a VM in Windows, on a Mac keyboard with (in Windows) Windows mappings.
-
@jonbro The OSX in a VM part is really painful to get working. I like Mac keyboards though, even if it is tricky when the tilde keeps moving
-
@jonbro Yep! It's not legal, so you have to pirate a patched version of VMWare, and it only works on Intel CPUs, not AMD, and ...
-
Oh, man, I was an awful programmer at university. How did I end up doing this for a living?
-
@somebodyweknow I've not got as far as making iOS builds, but Unity is running.
-
@jonbro No idea -- would suspect it would be about as bad, as the fundamental problem that Apple don't like it is still there.
-
@D_Nye_Griffiths @betterthemask @AboutThisLater next Friday! I'll be at the pub after. It's a Conway Hall thing, so one of those ones.

-
I am implementing ladders, and it's hard.
-
@radiatoryang @jonbro If only these concepts already existed in this game!
-
Unity's NavMesh system is pretty cool, but is clearly designed for companies with source code access and support contracts.
-
By which I mean, the documentation is crap and it keeps breaking.
-
@geekessays Wednesday evening! I'm waiting for it to get added to the schedule, then I'll send it out properly.
-
@KommanderKlobb lemme know when I should be at Bethnal Green for...
-
@KommanderKlobb Might have to wait there for 5 mins while I walk up, but sure.
-
@radiatoryang doesn't help here, but that's a useful trick to know, thanks!
-
@mcclure111 no arguments here. Though, there's a certain pleasure to a well-fitted shirt...
-
@failnaut Yep, me too. Seemingly only while traveling there, for some reason...
-
@patrickashe @iamcarneiro I am eating avocado and drinking Red Stripe. These are my choices.

@terrycavanagh what a coincidence! I'm heading there too.
-
I'm in Nottingham! I think (I hope) I just successfully programmed a videogame? We'll see soon enough.
-
@patrickashe @smestorp oh, come say hi, I'm about.
-
@HilariousCow ! Hurrah!
-
@KommanderKlobb heroic stuff! Have you got the little wire stripping blister yet?
-
@haikus_by_KN it was going to be on at 5:30. But then The Rain happened. Also at 5:30 today (and the rest of the week)
-
@philippawarr do avocados float?
-
@philippawarr this is the beautiful thing about games, though! In your little world, avocados can sink and drown. Amazing!
-
@asponge @philippawarr anything is possible!

@glassarmy I know, right?
-
I learnt so much about USB cables from @haze______ last night.
-
Being at GameCity without @tigershungry feels weird. Guess it's a head start on missing her when she's not in the country any more.
-
@robertpeacock22 @tigershungry @torontaru Shiiit... I do want to go out for Indiecade East... a plan slowly starts to form.
-
@robertpeacock22 @tigershungry And I'll be in the states a month after that anyway, for GDC... Hm hm hmm!
-
@hannahnicklin Really makes you appreciate politicians who are merely indifferent, not actively hostile.
-
@tigershungry @robertpeacock22 This is exactly my thinking!
-
@asponge did you at least make it inside? or is it going to be a long, lonely vigil in the carpark?
-
The main utility of using a debugger today seems to be in making me actually read my code.
-
@PeopleIKnow @gamecity damnit, I had forgotten @PageFortyFive existed. And now I'm going to spend lots of money...
-
@patrickashe Been working at "home" this morning, will be heading in at some point.
-
@kitrichardsonuk Wednesday week! tinyletter.com/twinetasting/letters But I'm not going to be around for lunch for a while :<
-
@kitrichardsonuk (Nottingham this week, colleagues in the UK next week, then Singapore the week after)
-
uh-oh: building our game takes 12 minutes. That number is only going to increase... (Luckily, testing it in-editor is much quicker, but)
-
Anyway, now I just need to wait for this 500 mb file to upload, and then I can go meet people for GameCity funtimes.
-
@jonbro Hm -- dunno. There's probably something tricksy we can do with AssetBundles, but I'll leave that problem for another day.
-
@patrickashe @zoewi @edclef (I also need to check into my hostel. Which is the same place you're staying, I think.)
-
@KommanderKlobb @tigershungry we could have Wild Rumpus beermats if we wanted.
-
@AidanJohnMoffat it's a game about ghost dads.
-
@AidanJohnMoffat it's a game inspired by the lead writer looking at lots of pictures of Ellen Page on Google Images.
-
@AidanJohnMoffat I have only seen the demo, and you spent all of that as a ghost dad, so: I hope not?
-
@asponge EXCITE
-
@1000tongues @c_hedborg @timgarbos happy to send over my image effect asset store thing, if it's of use. S'gotta pixelation thing in it.

@Carachan1 @smestorp @edclef @patrickashe people at the dragon still, or all went for chish and fips?
-
@patrickashe ah, cool. I've bailed back to the hostel to do talk prep (and my phone was dead)
-
@patrickashe nope, I was tweeting off my iPad, even.
-
@ADAMATOMIC Ah! I totally guessed what that was going to be before I clicked! That IS the best thing!
-
@ElectronDance @pippinbarr link?
-
@pippinbarr @infovore It really is! I would have completely missed this, thanks both. It may well have performed surgery on a talk!

This is probably a bad time to be trying to download Keynote, huh?

@patrickashe reminded of that reading Em Short's IF Comp roundup - critiquing something *is* taking it seriously & engaging.

The complexity of this code is expanding in my hands. I feel like I'm trying to hug an inflating hot air balloon.

Hey everyone! Come talk about Twine and drink wine! Half an hour from now at the Broadway (in Nottingham)

I am bummed out about having missed do much hanging out at GameCity due to having been doing so many things. :(

-
It's true folks. My game WILL win the grand prize.
-
(It's not true)
-
Look at this amazing Tenya Wanya Teens controller @asponge has made. It's so beautiful.
-
@brandonnn @asponge yeah, a single mutant baby. They were supposed to be a transitional set, but I think they're too good for that.
-
Actually playing some Tiny Games in anger with @zoewi! And it's good times. And flicking through to see if I can find ones I had a hand in.
-
@oopsohno ooh, I'd be curious to try Tower No Tumble on those some time (game by my company, but never played) also whatever you're making..
-
Sad to be on a train speeding away from GameCity. But on the plus side, excited to be on a train speeding towards Playful.
-
That's not actually true, I'm mainly saying it to be polite. I'm actually just a bit terrified of fucking up this talk.
-
@code_cookies I do not believe so!
-
@compositeredfox ahhh, such a shame. You're stopping by in London after?
-
@patrickashe I have lost my keys. :( Could you check the hostel room for me? (And ask reception) Got a black keyfob on them. Thanks.
-
@patrickashe yeah... Great timing, huh? Luckily Joe is around.
-
@pietepiet I'd just like to take a moment to say I really enjoy this tweet rant. Also, yes, I did submit it to the IGF this year.
-
@soperify @pietepiet @C418 It's not a simulator...
-
@patrickashe found them. Thanks, though
-
My talk went pretty good today! I am now tired and a bit drunk, and no longer stressed as hell.
-
And as such was able to enjoy the rest of #playful13 - some lovely talks about such a variety of things. Very glad to have been invited.
-
That said, I am looking forward to tomorrow, a day that I won't : carry heavy things, travel a significant distance, or attend a games event

@patrickashe I am at home, in bed, and not going to any kind of event for at least a day. It's pretty great, not gonna lie.
-
@doougle there's a hurricane?
-
@edjeff every so often, I think: maybe I'll have a cornetto, I used to be a fan. And then they disappoint me again.
-
@doougle the last storm meant that there were loads of fallen trees to climb on in parks when I was growing up, I liked that.
-
Good job me waiting til it's raining and awful before going to the shops.
-
@asponge I am sorry I am not there to share these difficult times with you.
-
I suspect @edjeff's influence on this Tiny Game, for some reason
-
@mcclure111 @mooonmagic I... Don't see why that wouldn't be possible. Hm.
-
@mcclure111 @mooonmagic yeah, good point. Maybe there's something possible with a lower-res intermediate texture?
-
@mcclure111 @mooonmagic oh, goddamn, I was going to cook and tidy before I went out, now I think I'll shader.
-
@mcclure111 @mooonmagic I mean, me either, s'loads of work. But you posed a Problem, so now I'm thinking of Solutions.
-
@mcclure111 @mooonmagic not what I was after, but lovely all the same vine.co/v/hpUiDtg3wqK (that is the constant shader experience)

@mooonmagic @mcclure111 thanks! It also does normal blurring, but not smoothly vine.co/v/hpUnAO9g9IE
-
@mooonmagic @mcclure111 yeah, me too!
-
@brandonnn @zoewi @thisisplayful Don't worry, we can get drunk, and I can wave my hands in the direction of the things I said.
-
@glassarmy wish both me and @asponge weren't incredibly tired, and coming off the end of a week of drinking, or else we'd be there.
-
Did we not collectively get past the "interactivity = good", "player choice = good", "linear narrative = bad" thing? hitboxteam.com/designing-game-narrative
-
@bfod I think the entire conceit of The Illogical Journey of The Zambonis?
-
@varelidi I'm at the reception desk with a whole bunch of dancemats, but I've not been registered. Can you come down and sweet talk them?
-
Help, help, I'm stuck at the MozFest reception.
-
@varelidi But I have got in via a friend's spare ticket. I turns out, maybe nothing - I got confused after plans changed the third time.
-
@varelidi but I've got dancemats and controllers, so we could run some games if you'd like.
-
Proudly wearing my Satan's Cock T-shirt to MozFest.
-
Was standing with a group of people, all in their company tees. And then explained that it was *almost* a corporate shirt for me.
-
@tef 2? On the 4th floor, I think.
-
@vorrintal kinda both at the same time?
-
@ElectronDance well, there's a difference between "is" and "contains". The law is clearly on their side, but morally it's more complex.
-
@gamecity no, thank YOU.
-
@asponge I've spent 10 years using the Internet and books to ignore variously pressing problems. Which isn't to say I disagree with you.
-
@lexicobob @martinhollis @mcmexpo you might well be right, given the right access to large screens and cameras.
-
@tha_rami ouch! Good luck with the surgery, thinking of you.
-
@lingmops now I want you on snapchat! (I'm vtwentyone)
-
@Carachan1 Ah, shit, that sucks. Next one!
-
@philippawarr "I earn 30 grand a year." The worst is that she's lovely, and I met her through him.
-
@seniath did you buy that pumpkin?
-
@Carachan1 yeah! (I need to make my version of this post, I keep missing waking hours)
-
@mcclure111 "we"
-
@c_hedborg in the generic, I do not know. In the personal, I will: I want the best for you &@tigershungry, and will care if you don't get it
-
@tigershungry you have a middle name!?
-
This morning I am discovering how draughty this flat is.
-
@tigershungry crossing my fingers for the strength of trees near Chiltern Railways tracks.
-
@webbedspace it's a good thing they're identical twins, and so the same height.
-
@HilariousCow d'aww! My pleasure! And thanks, @mittencloth !
-
Architecture Of Doom has posted a place I spent about 4 years of my life! architectureofdoom.tumblr.com/post/65255745347/appleton-tower-university-of-edinburgh-alan
-
The joke always was that the view from Appleton Tower was great, because at least there you couldn't see Appleton Tower.
-
@Carachan1 I heard that too. The rumour was that they did neuroscience experiments on them (aka, cut their skulls open)
-
@haikus_by_KN There's natural light on all the floors! Though you had to watch for detached tiles from the cladding smashing through...
-
@Carachan1 Oh, man. Internet archeology suggests there was some truth to the rumour : thefreelibrary.com/Uni+girl+in+100ft+suicide+plunge.-a060934054
-
@narF_snw @S0phieH @PerfectPlum oh! Surprised and delighted PtC has inspired anything. Thank you! AFGWAW looks great!
-
@failnaut I know how you feel opinex.tumblr.com/post/21039627308/the-atlantic-on-blow-the-missing-copy
-
@lingmops oh, goddamn, THIS is where that earworm came from. I don't even think I consciously read it the first time.
-
@narF_snw oh, wow, you're actually using that source? That is not good code. But I am glad it worked for you!
-
@narF_snw did you build the circuits yourself? Or go the easier way and use a Makey Makey?
-
@tigershungry Due Wesssssst, that's the way you're going, Due-uue West!
-
Holed up in a swanky apartment in Bromley-by-Bow discussing suicide pacts with Nils and @doougle.
-
@narF_snw ah, phew! Good call on those choices.
-
RT @patrickashe: Very much looking forward to confusing my housemate when my vinyl copy of the DYAD OGST turns up: davidkanaga.bandcamp.com/album/dyad-ogst
-
RT @dkanaga: also, here's most of the sounds from @DyadGame if you'd like to rebuild the album or a variant yourself: davidkanaga.com/dyadoost/
-
@D_Nye_Griffiths @betterthemask @AboutThisLater ow, sorry to hear that. We've been claimed by Ricky for dinner that night, I'm afraid. :(
-
@HilariousCow I know OpenFrameworks has a library for dealing with this shit...
-
Karaokards! It's a game you play while playing karaoke, and it's actually really quite good. Kickstarter: kickstarter.com/projects/782536717/karaokards-a-card-game-for-people-who-love-music
-
I played it last week, and unexpectedly discovered at 3pm on a Thursday that I can do Ice Ice Baby rather well. That's a recommendation.
-
I am just flushing through things I meant to tweet before, here. Here's a notably shit graph on the BBC News website: bbc.co.uk/news/business-24730122
-
(the line graph: look at the labels on the x-axis)
-
@D_Nye_Griffiths @betterthemask @AboutThisLater Whoo! I will send reminders and pick some games for that. And of course, NEXT TIME: drinks.
-
The next Twine Tasting is tomorrow! We're talking about two games. The first is Anne Hathaway : Erotic Mouthscape by @lillianbehrendt ...
-
.. and the other is MASTABA SNOOPY by gods17. Both delightful, I think you'll agree! Details here: tinyletter.com/twinetasting/letters
-
@betterthemask @D_Nye_Griffiths @AboutThisLater Yeah! Tomorrow evening. Here's the stuff: tinyletter.com/twinetasting/letters
-
@john_brindle @lillianbehrendt Oh. Yes. Whoops.
-
@john_brindle Of course you can!
-
@lucky_frame @jonbro do you need to ground yourself?
-
@aliceingameland @tearawaygame "wrap" party!
-
@rubzo I have Mountain Dew adverts.
-
If you're coming to Twine Tasting we are down a flight of stairs, in the kind of white vaulted room.
-
@patrickashe have you put the lineup for beta public up yet?
-
@pippinbarr @ElectronDance and people say never read the comments
-
@Carachan1 You need an iPad to look at pasties?
-
Apparently @doougle hates The Beatles, apart from Hey Jude.
-
That sounds like a comedy Twitter slur on a person, but it's also true.
-
Had a great time talking about Sepe's Cumshot & BONELORE & I guess Twine games at Twine Tasting last night.
-
@Carachan1 @davidsgallant THE MALE GAZE
-
@D_Nye_Griffiths @asponge These aren't the attributes of their ideal woman...
-
Just remembered that @beatonna sent me the Tesla drawing, but it got lost in the post. (I suggested the topic)
-
@beatonna I know! Ahhhh! My friend has this, and it reminded me:
