@tigershungry Clooney took the pig for a flight in John Travolta's private jet, declaring afterwards that Max "absolutely loved it".
-
@Carachan1 That sounds lush.

@tigershungry okay. But I need a pet pig & a trip on a private jet for research.

@iamcarneiro best played that way, but there's an online version. Probably super confusing if you do t play offline first, though.

It seems stupid I have to go back to Toronto and get on an airplane when I can see New York out the window.

Success! I found 10 extra cents, which means I can afford a negroni before my flight.

The effect was somewhat ruined by having to wolf it down to actually get on the plane, but

HELLO NEW YORK!

@beckwig I thought I'd be spending the week in Princeton, so I flew into Newark.

@radiatoryang here til GDC! Not had a chance to make proper plans here yet, but hanging with you is definitely on the to-do list.
-
@severalbees I was not emotionally prepared for the wave of homesickness the sight of Stepney Fried Chicken just induced.
-
@severalbees it also feels weird that I'll see most of my friends before I'm home again.
-
@severalbees did I make excited noises about you actually being at GDC? It is a thing I'm excited for.

@zoequinnzel for real though, ask them for speaker's fees.

@zoequinnzel I mean, so do I. But I also know it's Not What I Should Be Doing.

which is to say I am excited to go to all the cool parties at GDC

@RC_1290 Sure!
-
@LewieP It's mainly the words "You might know me on Twitter" that feel high-stakes

@xShrewsbury @LewieP right, but then sometimes it feels like i've been talking under false pretenses

@patrickashe @Poxican I would like to see this!

@patrickashe @Poxican p much what I was thinking! Let me know when you've picked a date

@asponge at a certain point, you're just going to have to stop fighting it

@whitingjp @LewieP so, actually the thing here is that I identify with "v21" more than I do "George Buckenham"

@LewieP @whitingjp I have idly considered it!

@Carachan1 but : previous access to trad media is something that hugely helps you make bank on Patreon.

@Carachan1 lots of jokes about doing stuff for exposure, but Patreon is the magic machine that can turn exposure into cash.

@Carachan1 well, thank god for that, given you work in games journalism.

@Carachan1 but yeah — but your Patreon pieces do less to build an audience than your traditionally-published ones.

-
Last night, I was thinking that Kill la Kill was getting boring. Then comes a recap episode & I'm in love again.
-
@nickludlam that's culturally significant, too!
-
@joonturbo @jonbro Would be easy to make -- you've got a lot more space to play around with. see, eg, blog.codebender.cc/2014/01/02/bigdome-ring/
-
@joonturbo @jonbro (which would be stupid for TWT, as there's 32 buttons there... but with a few big ones, custom mods are fine)
-
@patrickashe I wrote this: nottheinternet.com/blog/rules/
-
@patrickashe The bottom of this page, too: harmonyzone.org/Videogames.html
-
@jonbro @patrickashe Everything I wrote there I still agree with, and not much comes to mind that I missed.
-
@severalbees No, but I might be up for it after I go out for curry.
-
@patrickashe love that Tale of Tales has two.
-
@Gillespionage For some strange reason, this reminds me of you terrivellmann.tumblr.com/post/77311830934/tried-rigging-a-voxel-model-worked-better-than-i
-
@HonestWilliam @botherer this is a lovely interview :) Really glad I got to hang out with you this GDC.
-
@expdotzine DF using volunteers is fine : the icky bit was "best if you already have your own pass"
-
vimeo.com/90271157 @dkanaga put his talk up & it's probably worth paying attention to it.
-
@KommanderKlobb @dkanaga He was 1/3 of a 1hr slot, I imagine he used his normal voice for the actual talk, but otherwise the same.
-
@scallopdelion GDC giveth, and GDC taketh away
-
This .pdf of the maps you find around London is really inspiring design work tfl.gov.uk/microsites/legible-london/downloads/Legible_London_System_Architecture.pdf
-
one thing I missed about London when I was away was how well designed the signage is
-
@tef thought you were refusing to research public transport while on holiday?
-
Particular shoutout to this minilith, which I seem to consult every time I get off the tube at Holborn google.co.uk/maps/@51.517678,-0.119922,3a,75y,190.07h,79.25t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s6ogeM2umTo0L0kCVieYu8w!2e0!6m1!1e1
-
@severalbees @asponge @hannahnicklin @garethbriggs @patrickashe yes please, I would like to see/drink with/roll around a park with you all.
-
@tef I am, though those answers largely strike me as common sense. What matters more is the questions asked.
-
@tef I guess that's p much all design, though.
-
@PerrinAshcroft @LewieP piracy involves duplication, no?
-
@brandonnn @partytimeHXLNT hi hi from London! Glad to have met you in Toronto!
-
@asponge I assume you were the one who trimmed Maddie's claws and I am enjoying that so much right now.
-
@doougle See also the KS update that announced the FB buyout, ending in "We’ll see you in the Metaverse!"
-
Suspect snark can often be unpacked, with the right context and a following breeze, as a coherent criticism all packed up small.
-
"not The Next Big Platform, but rather simply The Final Platform – the platform to end all platforms" oh jesus christ
-
see! that was snarky! But I could expand it into a 300-500 word blog post if I wasn't going to watch anime & fall asleep instead.
-
@doougle ah, I gave them a pass because : you're allowed to believe your own bad ideas & I could see potential for that outside the holodeck
-
@doougle maybe my opinion is informed by a great love of endlessly unpackable statements. not saying they're good or useful, just i love 'em
-
@doougle I think this harmonyzone.org/Videogames.html is a Profound Statement, but it also needs about 2 years of training to understand properly.
-
@hannahnicklin guess i should post selfies from bed more often, then.

@severalbees OKAY
-
@severalbees holly i have a problem and i could do with advice. I want to drink gin in a park, but last night i drank half a bottle of gin
-
@severalbees and drinking a whole bottle of gin myself in 2 days feels like too much. what should i do? signed, george
-
@severalbees also someone else drank the other half. But I can buy more gin.
-
@failnaut ! sounds exciting. hmu at george@thewildrumpus.co.uk or submissions@thewildrumpus.co.uk
-
I want Ryuko Matoi's shoes.
-
guess I should put on clothes & go buy some gin & go sit in vicky park and get drunk
-
@severalbees where in the park are you? Have you actually got there yet?
-
Fuck! This tweet @agolis/449899151627923456 reminded me of the beer I wanted to drink in NY but couldn't remember - Even More Jesus.
-
@eddiecameron I told you it had Jesus in the name!
-
@haikus_by_KN that's if it turns out to be a late one
-
@haikus_by_KN I have had lunchtime chicken before, but it always feels like a worrying precedent
-
"... so you... bought some Kate Bush tickets just to see if you could, and then declined them?"
-
@asponge are you Zoe Quinn?
-
@lingmops I am, though I'm not really social on there. Same u/n as here
-
@philippawarr it's really lovely, isn't it?
-
@philippawarr think it might be the best thing @Draknek has ever done
-
RT @severalbees: Was asked about my hopes for the future of video games. I dunno, keep letting me come to your conferences until live games…
-
Watch this video without reading the title or description, if you can youtube.com/watch?v=QrxPuk0JefA
-
@failnaut it doesn't! But there's a plugin for that.
-
@increpare yep -- for all my big talk of needing to do work, i slept late and rolled around unproductively all day instead :<
-
@Livelyivy I prefer to say "it's never the player's fault"
-
@increpare I am weak...
-
jonremedios.tumblr.com/post/81209707761/ssmp gives me a good feeling
-
TIL that the C# null-coalescing operator ("??") doesn't work when referring to values left unset in the Unity3D inspector.
-
(Despite the fact that "(val == null)" returns true, the type coercion rules are sufficiently different that it fails with ??
-
(and, of course, Unity doesn't just return null, in order to give you a UnassignedReferenceException, rather than a NullReferenceException)
-
Since @haikus_by_KN encouraged me to keep going, one final stab : And of course, none of this is documented by Unity at all.
-
@severalbees I have your flowery hair-clip.
-
@benxo So does France! Basically, the President is like the Queen, but elected.
-
@haikus_by_KN I blame the parents.
-
@reallyfancy @BrightonIndies @VRBrighton Also, now imagining a pub with a bunch of people in Oculuses, groping blindly for their pints.
-
@aliceingameland have you been spending the time in an aeroplane?
-
@resiak This strikes me as very easily rigged.
-
My Struggle with NavMeshes : The George Buckenham Story
-
@docky Unity ones. After a day or two, got them working, but they're endlessly fiddly and unfeatured after that.
-
@docky (but right now, endlessly tweaking our fake floor meshes to avoid seams... in some senses soothing, in some senses not)
-
@TRUTRUTRULUV think there's about a 50% chance I'll end up scrapping it and going with something else by the time this ends.
-
@TRUTRUTRULUV though, they promise unspecified improvements in Unity 5, so
-
@TRUTRUTRULUV Yeah, p much. I'm using ProBuilder to make meshes in the editor, and you basically have to vertex align everything.
-
Here's @Carachan1's latest Embed With with @108 It's good, and arouses lots of complicated thoughts in me.
-
It's easy to hate Tim Rogers for being cooler than you, I think. But then again, I'm eating salad &making a videogame in a Dalston cafe, so.
-
Ah, whoops, forgot the link embedwith.tumblr.com/post/81279812167/embed-with-tim-rogers
-
@joonturbo man, you don't need to hang out with me to be cool!
-
@TRUTRUTRULUV I'm going to cc you in an email discussion about an accountability club.
-
RT @patrickashe: The lovely folks at Coney are doing a Kickstarter for their ace show Early Days (Of A Better Nation), give it a look https…
-
@PeteOlympian @orangefeeling I'm going again this year (to run videogames)
-
@TRUTRUTRULUV Always strange to have influenced people more successful than you
-
@asponge I'm at L'atelier in Dalston, having failed to get into the Gamespace
-
@asponge Can head back now if needed -- will be about 40 mins.
-
@asponge oops, turned it off to fix my notifications thing being stuck, and forgot to turn it back on again.
-
@asponge omw
-
@severalbees wait, hang on, too late
-
@alexhern yes. There's a train on NJ Transit that leaves from Penn Station (I did the reverse recently)
-
@rclarke I went to "FAQ", but they didn't have an answer to the question "Who is giving you money to promote tablets?"
-
@rclarke Luckily, tabletsforschools.org.uk/about/gave me the answer : probably Carphone Warehouse & Dixons.
-
"Freed Fiction mashes up books and games to create dynamic cross-platform content for young adults"
-
@edclef thanks! I'm gonna monetize some teens.
-
RT @russellhonor: my thoughts on something a contract says i can't talk about russellhonor.com/shit or maybe this is about rec soccer
-
@doougle @doubleanna Ah, that talk looks great (though I fear for my sanity if we decide to voice the dialogue in this game...)
-
Just submitted my entry for the BOOPZINE. #boop
-
@lauraehall Mine is... maybe really boring?
-
@lauraehall It features a sleepy @patrickashe and a map done in watercolours.
-
@tigershungry @lauraehall for once I'm not the slowcoach!
