@alphachar some stuff i do do. not because people want it, but because i want to yell it at the (often indifferent) world.

@alphachar like, not yell about my work, but make the point that the work makes. this is a reason for a bunch of my curation work. and CBDQ.

@alphachar no point doing that stuff without an audience. the other reason to take on commitments is to do fun things with friends.

@UnburntWitch "irritated by demographic targeting" is definitely a useable marketing segment.

@UnburntWitch apparently for the sake of ad rates IGN juked/downplayed their stats on % of women readers.

I thing I've realised I'm really over is laughing at something because it's weird when it's clear it's weird on purpose.

I also generally am over liking stuff just for being weird. There's usually a point lurking there, and the work is stronger for knowing it.

Imagine if people assumed a joke was intentional, and that the creator understood it, every time that was the case.

RT @JoanieLemercier:
-
spent my bike ride home thinking about politics. while all this Labour party stuff has went on, Theresa May set out some actual policies
-
& they're... sensible? fairly left wing? have a focus on inequality and supporting not-London? (they're pretty similar to Milliband's pitch)
-
like, May's track record as Home Secretary still suggests she's evil on a stick... but where does Labour go up against that?
-
it's kind of hard to credit these days, politicians doing very smart long term thinking and not massively fucking things up. credit to her.
-
@KommanderKlobb @jmickle_ yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna start voting Tory or anything.
-
@KommanderKlobb @jmickle_ but the next election will be a test of a May government with significantly different priorities to a Cameron one.
-
@KommanderKlobb @jmickle_ and if anything is salvaged from Brexit... that'll be to her credit. firm hand etc. All blame to Cameron/Johnson.
-
@lingmops i agree with you. if there is a Labour party by then... well, actually, who the fuck knows.
-
@KommanderKlobb @jmickle_ mmm, good point. obviously we are still in a "high volatility environment"
-
@HilariousCow not while the processes are the focus of the work, no. but when they're just assistive...

@awesommelier fantastic news! hello Nina! do they get along?

people who are working on games right now: if you had to be making some else's game, what game would you pick?
-
#beastsofbalance @jonbro/752998403378995204
-
@shahidkamal no fair picking one that's basically done!
-
@shahidkamal such a perfectionist!
-
@Sosowski you gotta pick a different one!
-
@hollygramazio i kept it vague to include different sizes of project/skillsets etc... but you, you get to be in charge
-
@kevinwatters i might even buy a PS4 for it.
-
@kevinwatters impressed by the careful hedging it's doing on the VR question, too.
-
@kevinwatters that game freaks me out, tbh. the engineering skill to support such a open-ended visionary creative tool...
-
@kevinwatters controls are motion based, picking from hand-anchored palette menus, drawing in the air -- but that makes sense on TVs, too.
-
@benswinden @lorenschmidt no fair picking like, 17 projects (i feel you, though)
-
@KommanderKlobb ohhhh... yeah, I'd love to make a Toca Boca game.
-
@SilverSober @adrielbeaver @underskinnyhrt @nowk_n @mousefountain @polclarissou so many great people coming up
-
@kevinwatters thing is, it's all so alien/proprietary... ie, their data format is not polygon based... dunno how widely applicable it is
-
@KommanderKlobb Yeah, Hair Salon 3 would be a dream game for me. I'd enjoy Band, too (you'd probably be better, tho). You can keep Blocks.
-
@radiatoryang i would like to live in this universe.
-
@tanyaxshort haha... just putzing around, laying out some caves... some bandits here... this shop sells fruit...
-
@notquitereal ohhhh shit, i wanna hear you pitching quest stuff for a pokemon game. and inventing new pokemans.
-
@radiatoryang i think you could deliver on the 3 core things for cod: - looks expensive - big spectacle - good multiplayer mode

@radiatoryang they probably won't let you make another one if you don't put any guns in, mind.

#unity3d When i add a RectTransform to a GO containing a SpriteRenderer in editor, it magically sets the size. How can I do this via script?

@tinysubversions so : I do believe those policies are vaguely in the right direction, though I worry they will suck oxygen away from...
-
@tinysubversions ... necessary, more radical [more effective] fixes. But mainly I was giving her credit for good political maneuvering ...
-
@tinysubversions ... in a time where that has been very rare in British politics. She's an effective Tory politician and that scares me.
-
@mtrc these tweets were about her Monday economic policy speech (just before Leadsom dropped out). But reiterated in her speech today.
-
@mtrc compare to the level of detail Angela Eagle is offering. (ref for today's speech: theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2016/jul/13/theresa-mays-speech-what-she-said-and-what-she-meant)
-
@WordMercenary don't get me wrong, I don't trust her. But see what Labour's like now? Imagine them up against someone more effective than C.

@WordMercenary of course it will! But she was Remain, has set out a different stall to Cameron, and can blame that shit on others.
-
@WordMercenary a lot will stick, for sure... but she's played that bad hand as well as anyone could.
-

@hannahnicklin except maybe in medical contexts, for mild pain relief.
-
@ADAMATOMIC oh, i like this a lot. yes. that's important.
-
@lorenschmidt @ADAMATOMIC a thing i try to remember is : people have specialities for a reason! that doesn't mean they're uninterested ...
-
@lorenschmidt @ADAMATOMIC ... in other parts - but it does mean that someone taking ownership of the bit they're good at feels good for all.
-
@lorenschmidt @ADAMATOMIC this is partly just the way I think, but: being clear about the problems at hand is important. is most of it.
-
@lorenschmidt @ADAMATOMIC cutting through "we should do x" "we should do y" etc - what does this fix?
-
@ADAMATOMIC @lorenschmidt it's also often enough to pick a approach, find tricky bits, find at least one solution to them, then go for it.
-
@ADAMATOMIC @lorenschmidt like: hopefully we'll find a better approach, but we won't get stuck. it's at least possible.
-

sometimes I think the value of a game is in the number of perfect moments it contains. KRZ contains several.

@reallyfancy @nickludlam oh, this does look super useful, thanks!

@reallyfancy @nickludlam i couldn't be bothered to watch the video, but the slides were great images.response.unity3d.com/Web/Unity/%7B5f421710-f3eb-4ff3-8226-3b4b890b9e97%7D_Optimizing_Mobile_Applications.pdf

@gregmac_p if you ever need an extra gradient, just ask @manygradients politely

@lorenschmidt i am sorry to hear that. sending you strength to live sustainably and happily.

@lorenschmidt and thank you for the hug! it was delivered well.

@dreamfeelx yes. it's a pain in the arse, but imagine not, not at all.

bot of the day: @darndesttruisms a thing i like about jenny holzer's work is the ambiguity about whether she believes/is saying these things
-
went back through about 10 days of my tweets ~18 RTs of dudes ~18 RTs of not-dudes ~ 8 RTs of bots ~ 2 RTs of none of the above
-
stats for me promoting other people's work were similar. i am surprised and relieved the balance is that equal. should RT more bots, though.

i recommend this as an exercise, too. sinking feeling as i hit a run of dudes...

@voifd plus @SylvanianUK, I think

@jimrossignol presumably the greenhouses are dependent on imports of fertilizer (ie phosphorus).
-
@jimrossignol which is the same reason that claims that Britain needs to grow it's own food to be self-sufficient are nonsense.
-
@hoskingc the problem with the left is that we're less accepting of bad compromises, and party politics hasn't kept up.
-
@hoskingc feels like 5-10 years ago, left-wing people were accepting of the kind of centrist politics mainstream left parties were/are about
-
@hoskingc and they got some power (or were in power). and things still got worse. so we've decided that's not good enough.
-
@hoskingc and now we have work to do, both in creating movements, and in taking opportunities within party politics when they come up.
-
@hoskingc (in trying to be broad enough to cover 3-4 countries politics, I've fudged a lot of details, and erased a lot of work. but!)

A useful thing I learnt at university was to be comfortable conceptualising things as high dimensional state spaces.
-
It's probably just as useful as thinking about things as state machines.
-
@GalaxyKate i don't know that i think of things that way! Or entirely understand that as a perspective.
-
@GalaxyKate ahhh. yeah. i think of that more as a gradient that's somewhat painful to sample (therefore search algos)

Hey: if you're using Unity, I'm curious to see the overdraw in your games (go to Scene View, change the view mode from "Shaded").

i was kind of eye-rolling a tiny bit that everyone was getting so hyped for a single corpse flower
-
(obviously only a tiny bit, because corpse flowers ARE super cool. but a tiny bit)
-
but it turns out that lots of corpse flowers are blooming simultaneously, which is a total mystery. which is really fascinating.
-
AND it means that the level of corpse flower excitement is correctly calibrated, if not understated. keep going! good job!
