okay okay, i guess I did learn important lessons from all the stupid projects that were awful at university

Love love love love love that Harvey Smith uses the phrase "sticky friction" in a profile that followed Tim Roger's profile.

@Minkette I learned that people are awful and that you shouldn't work with them, and that it's painful for everyone if you have no

@Minkette useful skills to offer, and that team sizes should be no bigger than is necessary, and that if i don't enjoy something i will find

@Minkette it very difficult to bring myself to actually do it and that planning and simulating are often bollocks versus having something
-
@Minkette working early on in the project and if your spec keeps changing continuously then what you make will suck and that with robotics

@Minkette you should absolutely never try to do a complex plan-based thing until you have definitely shown you need it and that if you
-
@Minkette leave some of the batteries out of a robot it won't move. er. and a bit of computer vision stuff.
-
@Minkette sorry, yeah. er. turns out i still have some pent up feelings about that whole experience.
-
@Minkette but like : useful lessons to learn!
-
@Minkette It took 6 people 4 months work to make something worse than I could've made in 2 weeks, with hindsight.

@tigershungry ... VIDEOGAMES!

-
@retroremakes when i hear that, I usually give/want to give patronizing advice : it's okay if it doesn't work out, you'll've learnt a lot.
-
@thomasfigg there are other places to derive meaning in your life.
-
@thomasfigg why not have kids!
-
Gonna try to make something for this! makega.me/t/may-pageant-series/118
-
@caraellison i think it's enough that the people you're interviewing are part of the same community, have bonds of mutual respect.
-
@caraellison tbh (this might be intimidating 4 you) since the idea of a book was mentioned I think of this series as being just installments
-
@caraellison I hope you're grateful I made you listen to our boring Skypes so one day you can be on the other end of one at Doug's.
-
I was going to go to Sainsbury's, but I got distracted and met a gallery owner interested in future videogame events?
-
Also I had a bagel!
-
@radiatoryang also I had a beer and looked at some art books. Now I'm going to Sainsburys.

@mcclure111 oh, I assumed I was just being dumb and not spotting it. And then I had a fun old time editing the URL to lose my search terms.
-
applinks.org/ seems like a really good idea, which is why it's shame Facebook is launching it. How long will it last?
-
@caraellison I loved it, it made me feel so many things. And then I ended up talking to Katharine til 4am and now I am sleepy.
-
@caraellison Also well done for talking about French culture via two people who aren't French.
-
@hannahnicklin @patrickashe @Crow_land It's where you get a patty of meat (usually beef) and fry it and put it in a bun.
-
@caraellison I didn't think about it much then either (too overwhelmed by feelings of validation from being written about), but: totally!
-
@caraellison I think my actual aim in videogames is just to be known as being there when all this cool shit happened.
-
@caraellison That might be a bad aim?
-
@caraellison I can only sidle up to creation, as a byproduct of trying a thing or testing a thing or solving a thing.
-
@caraellison As a programmer, as a game designer, as an events organizer : I'm a better detective than an architect.

@hannahnicklin @patrickashe @Crow_land ah, no, a schoolfriend invited me out for burgers in town, and I've not seen him for ages.

Just had a less intricate idea for the makega.me pageant. ... and now I realize my two thoughts so far are either "Borges" or "Labyrinths".

@getdizzzy @radiatoryang the more I think on this tweet the more I appreciate it

@whatisian maybe? Not so much difficult as large. But I think I'm good with it, a good chance to practice craft.

@radiatoryang I had a thought for making a multi-author anthology of Borges games.

@psychicteeth @HilariousCow oh man, really? Amazing. I'm tempted...
-
@aanand Well insofar as I hear @m1sp will make you one if you ask nicely... But the fun part is tinkering with it, no?
-
@aanand I totally agree! It's a bit painful if you want to load in >3k tweets, though, as you need to request the archive.
-
@aanand @m1sp but nothing a reasonably simple web interface couldn't solve. Hm. If I knew Ruby, I might be on this.
-
@LewieP Deploy github.com/mispy/twitter_ebooks to a server & configure & set it up. I'll have a look when I get round to sorting it out for myself.

@tha_rami I can't take any credit, but I am so pleased with how it's going.
-
@xShrewsbury whoa, it's time to get serious
-
@patrickashe @edclef Yeah, I see that too... Discourse has some weird limits in there.

I always feel good when my notes look interesting, with diagrams & that, rather than just being a list of shit to do.

@BRKeogh no such thing as a typical deck -- if it works, and they complement each other, and works well with the rest of the deck.

Not to endorse Sapir-Whorf, but I think @retroremakes has a bloody good point here about corp-speak in games merseyremakes.co.uk/gibber/2014/05/no-business-here/

@mcclure111 on the other hand, though : I do genuinely think that technology is easier to use, at all scales, than before.

Racism in the wine industry. Interesting to compare to games. zerodosage.tumblr.com/post/85207338073/racism-in-the-wine-trade-an-inconvenient-truth
-
@compositeredfox I'd go for the 2nd, but it depends how much they're going to fork. Certainly it's easier to move from 2=>1 than 1=> 2.
-
@smestorp Right, so the problem is that they don't care enough/don't believe it'll be worth it eventually/lack of social proof.
-
@smestorp Like, Dota seems like it's on a par with actual sports learning, and that is MEGA POPULAR.
-
@smestorp This is a classic "you gotta listen to the playtesters, but they're wrong about what the actual problem is" territory.
-
@smestorp Ah, but what's wrong with that? The marketing is part of the game, and some games are too expensive for us to make.
-
@smestorp But like, the process of both of these is "other people are wrong, and I want to show them that & why", crystallized & ritualized.
-
@smestorp the solution to politics & science is just more politics & science.
-
@smestorp it's only because they're toys (and ours, at that) that we get to be dictators, get to declare other people wrong.
-
@smestorp I come from the softer sciences, so I'm not sure I have quite have your faith. But yeah.
-
@smestorp yeah -- unfortunately, people noticed a long time ago that dispassionate rationality isn't the best form of debate.
-
@smestorp Sometimes on my way to lectures, I would pass the parapsychology dept (but still, on balance, we're learning more truth than lies)
-
@smestorp I just went hunting for it to link here!
-
I just thought of a brilliant idea for the idea I had decided not to use for the makega.me Pageant. Maybe I should switch back?
-
@ntlk for being already installed on the computer they want you to present from at most tech conferences.
-
@expdotzine If you want writing that talks about games impact on our lives, you have to accept that we don't always play the best games.

@expdotzine I mean, except me, I played a ton of Puzzle Bobble as a kid and loved it.

@amaninaseem Hey, look, it's exactly the same

Ahhhhhhhh, wish I was there for @TheBitBazaar. Admittedly I'm imagining just eating pies and buying cool stuff, not manning a stall...

I hate the 205.

Thinking of the low wall, not quite connecting to the cubicles you could squeeze through at the entrance of the New Malden swimming pool.
-
@xShrewsbury I'm not talking about the swimming pool, I'm talking about that wall.
-
@xShrewsbury How comes? (I went there too often, and too young to have any kind of objective opinion)
-
@xShrewsbury it totally makes sense to me : we could walk there, and it was big enough for the people it got.
-
@xShrewsbury A 5 minute cycle or a 15 minute walk - everywhere else is a decent cycle ride, or more likely a bus or car journey away.

@nachimir ha! slightly? but it's a good tip anyway. Now I just need a bike...

@patrickashe It seems like the simplest thing, tbh. You don't even need to precook the potatoes? (not tried it yet)

I feel like I should watch Food Party again to remind me to make things I don't know will work in the kitchen again.

@patrickashe That's fair, I had to go shopping anyway, so.

@hyper_linda Yeah, it's basically that crowd, and the people who'd hang with them, that I'd love to see. Thinking of NYU Game Center & ITU.

Admittedly, I ended up making something with couscous that worked that I was pretty sure wouldn't last night.

@psychicteeth wait, but... you could easily flip that back over. there's no clear dividing line for any game.
-
@psychicteeth in that it means they have massive massive communities to play against?
-
@psychicteeth I wouldn't make a f2p game because they're harder, riskier and more expensive.
-
@psychicteeth the biz model does intrude, as it does for everything, but: Fallen London.

@psychicteeth what I will say is : if I ever make a F2P game, it is incredibly unlikely I will call it that, or position it as that.

@m1sp I once found an eMac on the street which died after a few minutes on due to burst caps on the video card (due to this)
-
@m1sp I installed Linux on it and it stayed up, and used it as a many computer for a year or two.
-
@m1sp Oddly enough, when I found it it had been wiped clean except for a topless girl in B&W as the wallpaper.
-
@m1sp I mentioned having found it at uni, and someone said they were the one that dumped it, and that the photo was of their girlfriend.

Anyone else found Unity 4.5 takes longer to load scenes in the editor now? It was already too slow, but now...
-
Huh, okay. This scene loads twice (25 secs, not 50) as fast in the editor if I make this <large object> not a prefab?
-
I am guessing the delay while stuff loads is time it takes to parse YAML? But who knows...
-
But at least I found a log line that confirms : yes, the Unity profiler does refuse to profile frames that are too large. Thanks! Helpful!

@martinpi Hm, interesting.
