RT @v21_ebooks: I can't believe hipsters have gotten into videogames.
-
@haikus_by_KN @v21_ebooks He's thanking you for following him.
-
@_saljam The first language I was taught at uni was Haskell. I love list comprehensions.
-
@haikus_by_KN @v21_ebooks As far as I know! I would assume my ebooks account would have the same gender, but I guess I shouldn't assume.
-
@haikus_by_KN @v21_ebooks "It's" just seems rude, though.
-
Oh man, algorithmic humour is the best. Why did I not set up a robot me a long time ago.
-
@PurpleMFTW Depends how technical you are... I'm using @m1sp's github.com/mispy/twitter_ebooks, I can recommend it.
-
@PurpleMFTW (if a github link scares you or doesn't mean anything to you, then :<. Otherwise, you should be okay)
-
@ibogost do you know about "spintax"?
-
@reallyfancy I inherited NGUI on Mutazione, but could do with trying out 2D Toolkit now we're revamping everything.
-
@reallyfancy Shame we need to revamp everything just a little before the new UI system comes out, but when hasn't that been the case?
-
@reallyfancy For this... I'll go with the built-in Text Mesh system, as it's just a jam project and it's supposed to look all ... CRT-y.

The prevailing consensus on Question Time is a media consensus, not a real reflection of the views of the public. contributoria.com/issue/2014-06/533bdd523155277110000007
-
@HilariousCow Why not make an extension method to wrap it?
-
@HilariousCow Ahhh. Yeah, I've been jamming on #spacecowboygamejam, and have slowly been pulling extensions and utilities over...
-
@HilariousCow anything where copying it is easier than remembering the details of how it works...
-
@coffee_nat it's day 8 already?!
-
@nikkipugh I use mine just for "thinking on paper"
-
@hannahnicklin @patrickashe like, on controller legibility? On accessibility, reach, scariness of consoles?
-
@hannahnicklin @patrickashe a good topic, worth talking about. But personally, I've thought about it, and I'd like to hear about poems.
-
@nikkipugh similar! But I notice I rarely refer to them, so it mainly feels like thinking on paper to me.
-
@bhmwong your instagram photos are better than mine
-
Instagram, more than anything, makes me aware of the idea of performing fun/coolness (I joined recently)
-
@robertpeacock22 performing like.. it exists to the extent that you demonstrate it. An unphotographed lunch might as well not exist, etc.
-
Eating a Tesco prawn pasta salad while looking at one of your one of two hundred instagram friends eating /that/, knowing those numbers but
-
@guided1 I joined because I wanted a place to put photos that marked events in my life. To encourage me to do things worth noting.
-
@guided1 (off the back of some travelling where I'd tried to do the same on tumblr)
-
(Instagram is just a particularly concentrated set of things that trigger the same fucked feelings I can get elsewhere and come from me)
-
I think that just pushed me off the fence regarding @mtrc giving ANGELINA a female name (which, iirc, he regrets)
-
@whatisian I know the secret! (but never did it myself)
-
@hannahnicklin congrats! I never did, and we never speak, and I feel bad about it.
-
@edclef @mtrc whaaaat, my phone has betrayed me. was supposed to be preceeded by a link to this awful article dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/18631/1/the-top-ten-women-taking-over-tech
-
This list of women in tech is awful even by the standards of lists of women in tech dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/18631/1/the-top-ten-women-taking-over-tech
-
@hannahnicklin let me know when...
-
@caraellison I want your thoughts my Space Cowboy game sometime soon! Also I have thoughts for you on yr Almost Famous feelings.
-
@mtrc I saw it on my phone before -- hadn't noticed how old it was until just now.
-
@mtrc Sorry to dredge it up! (I know you've been thinking on this stuff before)
-
Why hasn't anyone else done this? camposanto.com/quarterlyreview/volume-1/issue-2/index.html

Wait, wait -- why did Lottie write "Maths" on her hand upside-down? scarygoround.com/?date=20140602
-
@v21 Unless it's her left hand (would make more sense for notes (assuming she's right-handed)), but she dug in the crate with her right...
-
@kierongillen I, uh, just have a separate tumblr account for that.
-
@jonbro @edclef @johnokane yeah, most of what I'm working on is commercial, so it's not really worth posting.
-
@jonbro @edclef @johnokane That said, I still need to make a pageant post, and my spacecowboy game will need feedback soon...
-
@jonbro ah-hahahahahaha
-
@caraellison I like it! I get excited when I see a new one is out, and when I read it I have feelings.
-
@caraellison and you should go stay with Yoshio Ishii, Kenta Cho, @Oujevipo, Mason Lindroth or thecatamites.
-
@caraellison @Oujevipo I suggest all these people because I love their games, and have no idea of their lives, but would like to know.
-
@haikus_by_KN @steppinlazer if one had got major press in the last year, they probably would've.
-
@Oujevipo @haikus_by_KN @caraellison but yeah - I'm headed over to France in July, but not planning to head as far south as you...
-
@increpare @dislekcia thank you kindly!
-
@jonbro Ultra Business Tycoon III
-
@jonbro no! will dig it up now
-
Bike lock recommendations?
-
@scanters I was on the fence, but I think you've convinced me.
-
@HilariousCow trying to do it in a shader? At least, I've never found one.
-
@HilariousCow I am pretty sure it's not possible -- there's discontinuities in there.
-
@haikus_by_KN How old are you, Katharine?
-
@haikus_by_KN And yet you've only just discovered this?
-
@HilariousCow @cubed2d I use this conversion code a lot -- I am not convinced it's that that expensive. Let's test how many ops it uses.
-
@cubed2d @HilariousCow "# 35 instructions, 3 R-regs" : so stop worrying
-
@HilariousCow @cubed2d especially because this sounds like a thing where you should make it work, and then if it's slow work out why.
-
@patrickashe FIVE COPIES REMAIN. (One for Holly, one for my Dad, though)
-
Some time ago I made a complex system, and now it isn't working correctly in mysterious ways. This angers me.
-
@srules man, I don't comment my code. Why would I do that?
-
@srules (it wouldn't actually help, all the code I can see I understand. It's just ... I don't understand why things are/are not happening)
-
@rubzo I THOUGHT I DID
-
@rubzo I designed things to be stateless, and now they have state?
-
@rubzo (I wasn't deleting a temporary file that was supposed to have been overwritten with each pass...)
-
@haikus_by_KN @rubzo ah-hahahaha, okay, this one was great.
-
@rubzo A Unicode conversion error in a Python script that only manifests when called from within Mono!
-
@rubzo (and, I am pretty sure, only when run on a Mac, not on Windows! And only affecting some debug output, not the file we write to!)
-
@garethbriggs @edclef @patrickashe I think in both cases, it's the mood, the piling up of lots of well judged details.
-
@edclef @garethbriggs @patrickashe In KRZ you walk around and talk to people, and in Jelly you do some platforming, but that's not the point
-
@mooonmagic @whitingjp Gotta step away. Think about what info you need to solve the problem. Collect info. Step away. Solve the problem.
-
@mooonmagic @edclef Did you watch the video?
-
@mooonmagic @edclef ha, it's okay. I think telling people to buy things they will enjoy is also valuable?
-
@mooonmagic @edclef And this review does engage with the game some (though I'm not claiming it's flawless).
-
@mooonmagic @edclef There's a reason Alice (my flatmate, RPS news editor) has described her job before as entertaining children...
-
@mooonmagic @edclef None of which is to argue for less Actual Critical Engagement, ofc.
-
@scanters They've been integral to the tech setup of Wild Rumpuses before.
-
@glowascii @emfcamp Just about to switch over the the tab where I actually give them the money.
-
@radiatoryang It's a magic number, but that's not the right thing either.
-
@TomNullpointer @edclef @radiatoryang I mean, this is a common thing -- IndexOf returns -1, for example.
-
@TomNullpointer @edclef @radiatoryang BUT -- the existence of the -1 thing does make me yearn for option types.
-
@hplemke Slow decline into irrelevance, the conversation moves onto other platforms, an ignominious "Our Incredible Journey".

@hplemke MySpace and Geocities have both died.

ICYMI : I gave the Librarian of Babel a Twitter account : @babel_librarian

@RaveofRavendale @leighalexander This just reminds me of the time I made a promotional videogame for "212".
-
@RaveofRavendale @leighalexander (it wasn't very good)
-
@steveklabnik get a cab to the store?
-
@mooonmagic @edclef @whatisian Talking about stuff that bug you is fine! As long as you're aware why other people like it (if they do).
-
@mooonmagic @edclef @whatisian But I am not worried about Thoughtless Snark & Relentless Negativity coming pouring from you.
-
@lalanl Our serving hatch is boarded over (though we use that room as a living room again, instead of the bedroom it was when we moved in)

@smestorp @retroremakes yeah, a catch-22 of needing social proof in order to get any press.

@philippawarr I was literally looking at the docs for this last night!

@jonbro wot
-
@jonbro ... wot
-
@jonbro and again, wot
-
@jonbro Don't get me wrong, I believe you. I just found it an extraordinary series of statements.
-
@patrickashe Right, but at least we can smugly boast that we put on Arcane Kids' first DJ set.

I'm looking at this page again docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SL-Blend.html (I have spent many days looking at this page)

Ha- the Android Twitter client no longer renders transparent avatars correctly. I'm a relic of the past!
-
@peterhughesdev @edclef ahhh! On that topic I can absolutely recommend Where Does Maths Come From
-
@peterhughesdev @edclef Errrrr... by which I mean en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Mathematics_Comes_From
-
Well, this article is massively frustrating polygon.com/features/2014/6/4/5754932/lost-levels-gdc
-
@mcclure111 It only says nice things? But... yes, maybe?
-
A short summary: "Harry Lee is amazing. Harry Lee wants the focus of Lost Levels to be on other devs. Harry Lee is amazing."
-
I mean, I agree! Harry Lee _is_ amazing. But that really isn't Why Lost Levels, as you have quoted him explaining to you. Repeatedly.
-
@mcclure111 The focus is 1) on the personalities of the organizers, especially Harry Lee & Robert Yang. 2) on it's opposition to GDC.
-
@whatisian for comparison: "Lost Levels" : 44 "GDC" : 37
-
@caraellison @john_brindle @smestorp I have itchy feet to go travelling to where people make an effort because I'm /visiting/.
-
@totalcurtis huh. That makes ... 3? 4? games bars in London.
-
Huh: new games bar in Peckham facebook.com/fourquartersbar
-
@infovore That's not the worst thing, tbh. Barcade (in NYC) is, and is still a nice place to hang.
-
@infovore I mean, if they have nice beer, and at least a couple of interesting games...
-
I've been thinking a lot about immersion recently. This article gives me a bunch to chew on electrondance.com/the-self-and-software/
-
Trying to connect the immersion of Coney/Larps with the immersion of the Oculus Rift, with the immersion of a Tetris trance. Hmmm.
-
Ahhhhh, love this profile of @partytimeHXLNT by @leighalexander theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/05/girly-games-history-of-pink-rachel-weil
-
@edclef wait, really?
-
@tha_rami I almost never hear an assumption that it won't have judges and prizes, though, and those are the ones I massively prefer
-
@tha_rami I don't want to see gamejams go in the direction of hackdays, which are generally discredited within those communities.
-
@bentosmile are they even taking it seriously? This just seems to have missed the point...

@patrickashe say the things I would have said for me!

@AttractModeAdam @tigershungry @KommanderKlobb I think we ran it on a Macbook, with input via the keyboard. Lemme try with a 360 controller.

@jonbro @HilariousCow I bought a fancy joystick for like £35 and i really loved it, it had all these adjustable bits and looked really cool.

@jonbro @HilariousCow I used it to play Fury3. And I think I had a Jane's something, but I was crap at it.

@fastramdesign My bio is probably also relevant here.

@edclef @jonbro @HilariousCow thinking also on the Witness article I linked : I like the freedom you have outside of the mechanics.

-
electrondance.com/the-uncle-the-cat-and-the-mother/ I'm enjoying the @ElectronDance fill-in articles. This time, a management/adventure game hybrid.
-
(this is also one of the few times I wish @ElectronDance didn't have comments - I advise you skip them)
-
@garethbriggs @mink_ette Yeah -- there's a straight line between Bernie DeKoven's "freedom to not play" & consent in other situations.
-
@garethbriggs @mink_ette modelviewculture.com/pieces/the-fantasy-and-abuse-of-the-manipulable-user is also an interesting expansion of this.
-
Imagine if you had to give informed, enthusiastic consent to be be signed up for a newsletter.

@TheQuinnspiracy Come to England!
-
@TheQuinnspiracy (I am aware that's not your point, but still -- people get mature at different ages)
-
@mattj_uk @garethbriggs @mink_ette there's techniques you can use to reduce harm. Practicing withdrawing consent makes it
-
@mattj_uk @garethbriggs @mink_ette makes riskier/more problematic types of play possible. Similarly, a preexisting play community helps.
-
@mattj_uk @garethbriggs @mink_ette I find presentations of Dark Room Sex Game (to participants who didn't know the game before) instructive/
-
@mink_ette @mattj_uk @garethbriggs @nachimir certainly, there should be some context akin to "this game is not just fluff"
-
@piratedance @mink_ette @garethbriggs @mattj_uk damn, I really should write up that talk I game at EMW about one-joke games.
-
@mink_ette @piratedance @garethbriggs @mattj_uk Again : people are really practised at removing consent from Flash games.

I wanted my bike lock to turn up today, but it didn't. :<

@nachimir @mink_ette @mattj_uk @garethbriggs Are you familiar with the Nordic Larp concept of "bleed"?

@mcclure111 "Mutton quad"
-
@mattj_uk @nachimir @mink_ette @garethbriggs But: also that can be fine? That's what a lot of people get out of Netrunner, competitive games
-
@mattj_uk @nachimir @mink_ette @garethbriggs Basically anything that shades towards sport. The key is knowing when that's what yr playing?

@piratedance @mattj_uk @nachimir @mink_ette @garethbriggs I think they might be intrinsically tied? Thinking on Sirlin's Playing To Win here

Thinking on my "Borges twitterbots" series, and "Pierre Menard" in particular. What would it mean to manually recreate a bot?
-
The feeling of recreating @everyword by hand.
-
@doougle that's the consensus, unless you need something that 8 specifically lacks (I parallels it because I have a Retina screen)
-
@doougle ooops, yeah, sorry

@HilariousCow UX doesn't make much sense in the context of games. UX is like .. "game design"?

This article about Louie is great: lareviewofbooks.org/essay/louie-season-4-elevator-part-6-pamela-part-1# I have been sitting on it for days
-
@KommanderKlobb not at all! But this article makes me want to (I won't. I barely watch TV, and this seems to require some context)
-
@KommanderKlobb I've tried Curb, and it makes me want to stand up and walk out of the room. Really comially low tolerance for awkward comedy
-
Fuck feeling guilt for not being up to date with any entertainment medium.

@KommanderKlobb I don't dislike it, and don't often notice that I'm doing it til called out,

@KommanderKlobb Saw Alpha Papa in the cinema and felt that urge a number of times, but still loved it.

@KommanderKlobb I doubt it! Even worse when it I can alt-tab (which is the case these days!)

@KommanderKlobb I'm still on vodka I found & juice I also found

Still uploading. Maybe I should have started uploading earlier...

RT @brandonnn: oh man i think @v21’s #spacecowboygamejam game is the best game about boredom i’ve ever played: v21.itch.io/always-stuck-minding-the-store
-
@brandonnn aaaaaaaaaaa!
-
@alexhern @Horse_ebooks it continues to exist? dunno how successful it is, but there's a surprising number of FMV games around nowadays
-
@kierongillen @iainl7 @caraellison @patriciaxh mind, I was listening to youtube.com/watch?v=lZINp0hVUIg the other day, so
-
@lexicobob yeah, it's nice, isn't it? Flashpunk is totally comprehensible if you need to dig into it, too.
-
New Game: Always Stuck Minding The Store (for #spacecowboygamejam) v21.itch.io/always-stuck-minding-the-store Listen to the blues & stare down at the Earth.
-
Oh man, imagine if you followed me just to hear about new games I've made. This would be... an annoying Twitter account to follow.
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth Tomodachi seems pretty squarely "problematic", not "evil", no?
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth but the vast majority of people of people buying it have never been exposed to these criticisms?
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth and... I buy things that are actually evil all the time.
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth I hate the monopolistic practices of Amazon, and I still shop there.
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth I bank with a bank that literally got done for laundering billions of dollars of drug money.
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth I shop at supermarkets which have forced small dairy producers out of business due to uncompetitive practices.
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth I'm typing this on a computer made with rare earth minerals mined in warzones.
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth ... and I don't think any of that weakens arguments against these companies. Yes, I'm a hypocrite.
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth what, like books or this iPad?
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth Sure, but: better that than not criticizing it.
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth Or is it better to ignore the criticisms, or dismiss them?
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth Or to acknowledge them, and go "eh! Still looks like fun!"
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth versus... what exactly?
-
@failnaut @psychicteeth hm - I admit I haven't seen people making that level of complaint about TL. (Thus my original tweet)
-
@alexhern isn't turing's version also about gender? also the supernatural.
-
@alexhern yeah fair : I haven't read it since I was at university.
-
@alexhern it tests a narrow subset of human behaviour quite nicely : that subset is only half composed of the hard, interesting problems.
-
@alexhern I have too many thoughts, but basically making a robot that can unload a dishwasher is a more interesting problem to me.
-
@alexhern Also! I still like this quote: "Asking whether a machine can think is like asking whether a submarine can swim"
-
@ADAMATOMIC nah, it's pretty good -- best platform for presenting tentative thoughts up for discussion to peers I know of.
-
@lefishy but then you're on fire AND have an arrow in you.
-
@lefishy but yeah, i think practically speaking they are more for setting fire to things you are hiding under. good for sieges.
-
@lefishy And arrowheads are interesting! Like, barbed, designed to break off inside the body, poison/designed to give you sepsis.
-
@lefishy you get into the same grisly calculations with a lot of modern weaponry -- designed to wound/incapacitate, not kill outright.
-
@lefishy I mean, to make a flaming arrow you need like, rags and some pitch -- this isn't stuff renowned for it's ability to penetrate.
-
I got tired and demotivated by the task I tried to do, so I bought a pain au chocolate and moved to one involving regexes.
-
@v21 "short distance" my arse, that's basically the two main approaches to AI tried since.
-
@mtrc yeah, it's a wonderful line.

-
damn, I forgot and RT'd something about E3 anyway, @severalbees successfully guessed all the letters earlier, which was fun.
-
@tieguniang good time to be dwelling on this stuff! (good luck tomorrow)
-
@severalbees this is what you're supposed to do? Then next time you give it it's better, because you're thinking about how stupid you look.
-
@severalbees you're an excellent speaker, Holly
-
@patrickashe my advice for following e3 was to ignore it completely and then ask you what was most irritating about it
-
@jennatar "I always tuck my shirt in, it's part of getting dressed. What, should I not do my flies up either? ...
-
@jennatar ... Let the old chap flop out, is that modern enough for you?" (couldn't find the clip, from The Thick of It)
-
@tigershungry Ah, but you're playing the Mac build, where the Turkish pilates channel has broken.
-
@psychicteeth I'm playing through the space cowboy games!
-
This game is absolutely amazing : itch.io/jam/space-cowboy-jam/rate/8458 (Mother Machine by @benswinden). Beautiful world that feels alive (literally)
-
@fohx Sure... but if he can get that deal, then they can't say "oh, that's not up for discussion".
-
@rclarke is that gougy? I'm thinking of digital boardgames, here, or FTL.
-
@rclarke I mean, this is why you don't release on iOS first, so you can set the high prices of being a real game on real machines.
-
@jennatar i once managed to cover the ceiling in boiling apple sauce using a pressure cooker, so...
-
@tigershungry did you play corgisim.itch.io/corgi-simulator-2071?
-
@mcclure111 no, but, forreal "the tooling could be really nice" is a reason to be excited about a language.
-
@mcclure111 what's a static type system but tooling? What makes it more powerful? Running the whole time you're typing.
-
@mcclure111 really good autocomplete being impossible is a big reason I've stopped crushing on Python.
-
@mcclure111 PL design is UX

This is about a minute of extreme stylishness. I am struggling to think of anything like it. julybabies.itch.io/jazu

I should probably do a post of my recs from #spacecowboy jam. Some great great stuff in there.
-
Though, it always has the thing: the more expected the good stuff is, the less you're impressed by it.
-
@tef here's the list: itch.io/jam/space-cowboy-jam#entries Jazu, Mother Machine, Til Cows Tear Us Apart, Corgi Sim, Cyber-Lasso, Distance all great.
-
@tef & Always Stuck Minding The Store, of course.
-
@oopsohno oh! you should play my game! I made a keypad that was awkward to use, and I was thinking of you at the time v21.itch.io/always-stuck-minding-the-store
-
@Poxican aw, thanks man. Loads of stuff I would have liked to have added, but I'm pretty pleased with it.
-
@Poxican Like, it totally needs intercom stuff buzzing in every so often. Also, an entire story.
-
@benswinden that's what I figured!
-
@HilariousCow how slow can you go and still feel like you're going fast?
-
@HilariousCow and get reeeeeeally low to the ground. and make everything tiny.

@Poxican Nothing after you say "Fuck" for the second time.

@LawrieARussell @Poxican Ah, it only got put up last night : v21.itch.io/always-stuck-minding-the-store

@oopsohno <3 and, ha. and @v21/476125096097366018
-
@mcclure111 I dunno. @MetaphorMagnet is basically a Markov chain, and it approximates semantics.
-
@mcclure111 @MetaphorMagnet yeah! try playing with the search engine-like interface ngrams.ucd.ie/metaphor-magnet-acl/
-
@mcclure111 @MetaphorMagnet I haven't dug into it properly, but ngrams.ucd.ie/metaphor-magnet-acl/e?kw=games+are+violence&event=target&click=entertaining%3Amelodrama suggests adjacency & probabilities are the source.
-
@mcclure111 @MetaphorMagnet yus... but hey : this is one place you can go from Markov chains.
-
@mtrc @mcclure111 @MetaphorMagnet yeah, you can tell there's some cleaning & grouping & POS tagging in there, at least

-
@radiodario I went once and made myself promise to myself I wouldn't do it again.
-
@mcclure111 I've been thinking on this... from the idea that Proteus is a simulator, but a spiritual one. You pick what you portray to ...
-
@mcclure111 ... suggest and convey the rest. Ambiguity is fine... which is a approach that means you usually need to hide, or make less ...
-
@mcclure111 important your mechanics. You can't get away from mechanics, even in an art tool -- they're just parameters of interaction.
-
@mcclure111 Or, I guess: yeah! But the purpose of art is to reduce a complex thing down to simpler elements, and by doing so communicate it.
-
@mcclure111 so for me, often the important part is the experience the player has. The mechanics, the visuals, the audio : all just there to
-
@mcclure111 create that experience. Why I mentioned Proteus at the start: it's aim of ... the sublime in nature, awe when up in the hills
-
@mcclure111 is conveyed, and partly through mechanics. But those mechanics don't encode that experience, they just ... encourage you to feel
-
@mcclure111 Same with Always Stuck ... - there's a complicated orbital correction mechanic. It's not about orbital correction - I just
-
@mcclure111 needed something fiddly to do every few minutes, and this fit the theme and I thought it'd "feel" right.
-
@mcclure111 The fact that there's blues music playing is just as important (probably more so)
-
@mcclure111 YES. You provide the context, the framing. If it works!
-
@mcclure111 ("A play begins when you first hear about it, and ends when you finally forget it", etc)
-
@mcclure111 And it's fine to ... not make games, obviously, if that's the best/easiest/most interesting way to convey something.
-
@mcclure111 I do, because I like the squishyness of interaction, and I've got into the habit, and I'm a better programmer than anything else
-
@mcclure111 ah-hahah, there we go. I think I stopped playing Mother Machine because I liked it too much when I didn't understand what
-
@mcclure111 the interactions were, and if I kept playing it I'd start to learn them? That's basically the inverse.
-
@mcclure111 oh, hm, that's irritating. Either express different things, learn to enjoy different things, or be frustrated?
-
@mcclure111 Oh! Or make bad, or unnecessarily structured art. Those aren't great options, I know.
-
@mcclure111 Oh, and this aims/intentions stuff is a simplification, too. Obviously it's great to explore, and this stuff can shift meanwhile

@brammichielsen no, please do! Sorry about the mess!

-
@mcclure111 @eevee gyazo.com/52e171b532c54754b497dd66c67a4ed8 is tedious, and if it got much larger would benefit from abstraction, but is fine as it is.

This article seems to basically say that Let's Plays are "free advertising". That rubs me up the wrong way entirely? forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2014/06/19/phil-fish-is-wrong-about-youtube-and-revenue-sharing/
-
And even if they were, that still means that devs that don't want the free advertising should be able to ... not?
-
And in a world where LPers can earn more than the devs they cover, and are sometimes asking for revshare in exchange for doing vids...
-
@raiganburns wait, but what do you mean by "ruin"? You can get Game of Thrones spoilers by reading the books, after all.
-
@raiganburns If the experience of playing the game can be perfectly substituted by watching a video of it... then maybe not.
-
@raiganburns but "perfectly" is a pivotal word there
-
i don't like the idea that all that matters is maximizing revenue streams and if you don't agree you're being irrational & should be ignored
-
@raiganburns hm -- what about mechanical revelations/learning? Like, could imagine LPs of Starseed Pilgrim hollowing it out.
-
@raiganburns or any puzzle game, for that matter (one reason they're not often LPed, I guess)
-
@alexhern I am in a cabin in the woods and I have not left it for several days now. Should probably buy it on comixology, huh?
-
I do like the part of LPs where it has the same appeal as radio - you feel included, mates with the broadcaster, in on the jokes.
-
Same thing that made PC Gamer so great back in the day, and where RPS is best now (& so many other places)

@profaniti not properly back in the UK til a month from now... Might be better to Skype. But after that I'd enjoy the trip down.
-
Sometimes I struggle between my desire to write elegant code and my desire to write boring code.
-
@jurieongames Yes, often. And same : I enjoy exploring new areas, and after a while it becomes routine & I use it normally & sparingly.
-
@jurieongames So is writing boring code that is immediately comprehensible, and doesn't have fancy tricks you need to relearn the next time.
-
@jurieongames Yeah, for sure.tbh, I see a foreach iteration as the vanilla version these days, and a for loop is when you need to get arcane
-
@jurieongames I absolutely recommend the Underscore utility library. It makes JS a much saner language.
-
@jurieongames yep! Very little of it touches the DOM, it's just language utilities.
-
@hentaiphd Even then it's not great -- ended up using AVPro Quicktime, which then has it's own problems....
-
@asponge yes yes yes to all of this. wish I was in the UK to chat to you about it properly.
-
@asponge the other main function you provide is a feeling of community, like a radio DJ. That's the main reason people return to RPS daily.
-
@asponge that needs "a culture", but not necessarily "games culture". It's also where you have actual power to change things.
-
@asponge think of the kids reading RPS in their formative years,then think of the perspectives outside fuckedup VG culture you can give them
-
@asponge ANYWAY, which is to say we should catch up on Skype maybe this week?

Haskell! You know, for kids! codeworld.info

@v21 (Edinburgh uni also believed in the "get em on Haskell before imperative programming has ruined them". Some truth in it? But not all)
-
@robertpeacock22 well, yes. not that it's a bad thing!
-
@v21 This environment does look really nice for what it does, and I have been meaning to revive the functional programming parts of my brain
-
@jonbro @psychicteeth @edclef suspect 2nd is video postprocessing. others seem like real-time, fully rendered.
-
@jonbro @psychicteeth @edclef 1st especially seems like it might be manual models, proc textures, smart mesh gen to get to final pos.
-
@Poxican @therussmorris @willgoldstone @miketucker you can get round it by using Google's DNS server : 8.8.8.8

@dikte it was! Bodega, next to Assistens Kirkegaard
-
@LovedayBrooke Bodega, on a side street by Assistens Kirkegaard, in Norrebro in Copenhagen. That's probably not very useful, I'm afraid.

@hannahnicklin I wonder if @ClickHole takes pitches?

@kierongillen I got mine from Clarke's

@inskora well, technically... But, no, that trend has kind of stalled out recently for a number of things.
-
@inskora on the plus side, if you do get something decent, it won't go obsolete nearly as quickly.

@GEEK__Play yes, sorry, been bad at email recently (I'll blame it on being abroad). Will be in touch soon!

@ADD_Gamer_ @mikeBithell @LaurakBuzz Had they not? @retroremakes was posting emails he'd received...

@SimoRoth My impression was at least that they'd emailed out first.

@krofdrakula @retroremakes @mikeBithell @ADD_Gamer_ No, they pay out normally for anything "sold" under this scheme.
-
@jonbro Shame it's got those awful yellow blob faces I hate so much, but I'll take what I can get.
-
@jonbro For my first purpose, they're getting scaled down to 8x8 (or 16 x 16, I forget). And mangled, and a sparse set used.
-
@hannahnicklin @mooonmagic ah, that's great! Basically it's a so far half-announced @tomscott project. Set expectations accordingly.

@robertpeacock22 @jonbro Apparently the colour is just for identification?! unicode.org/faq/emoji_dingbats.html#6

@lauraehall @mink_ette You should write a formal Application For Scritches and send it care of @dikte.
