@alexhern assuming you trust that the terms of that loan will not be changed after you've taken it out.
-
@alexhern which i did trust, when I took my student loans out. I am not sure I would do so now that the gvmt has shown it's willing to do so
-
@mtrc sure, i'd be up for submitting something for that. take your pick: @softlandscapes, @manygradients or convolution noise.
-
@mtrc may or may not write something, too...
-
@mtrc @softlandscapes can I just send the SVGs? assume that'll work, if you're packaging it up as a PDF.
-
ah! the answer is to export everything with a extra invisible rectangle on top of it BUT give it an invisible outline, not an invisible fill
-
@tinysubversions mainly super obvious stuff. SublimeText. Caffeine is nice, it gives you a menubar button to press to keep the screen on.
-
@tinysubversions homebrew instead of apt-get. XCode is surprisingly nice. Normal terminal is fine. Worth futzing with system settings.

@katbamkapow i loved your work in Toca Boca Hair Salon 2

@bzgeb @ginaharaszti haha. i had a zero per cent success rate maintaining my bots til I started CBDQ.

@bzgeb @ginaharaszti yup! it's hard! lots of people are bad at it. i am not one of life's natural maintainers.

@mousefountain about 150 similarly themed twitter accounts, by my approximation.
-
@mousefountain wait, that number is probably high
-
@ADAMATOMIC I am normally very pro "the best is yet to come", but your tweet still sets up niggles in my mind.
-
@ADAMATOMIC I think the idea that there is a single, unchanging, maximisable conception of great games. The idea a game can reach that.
-
@ADAMATOMIC I'm more excited for the ways the future will change our ideas about what is good than the ways we'll get better at reaching it.
-
@jimrossignol @ADAMATOMIC but "unchanging" too! I hear this and I'm like "those foothills look cool, I wonder what animals live there?"
-
@jimrossignol @ADAMATOMIC I should put my old bio back on here. The one that read "I always liked broken games the best, anyway"
-
@martinhollis @ADAMATOMIC it's not even per-person - a game succeeds by defining it's own criteria to be judged on, then exceeding that.
-
@martinhollis @ADAMATOMIC (and that itself is a simplification, context shifts and death of the author and all that)
-
There is a perfect videogame and it was playing 100 rounds of (emulated) Puzzle Bobble and with my friend Yusra at age 15.

karaoke & work demands means i'm using 1989 as work fuel again... and yes, i agree with recent takes that a Swift heel turn would be great.

-
@jmickle_ compare the demographics of EGX and, say, Feral Vector. EGX has lot more black people, and a lot more poorer people.
-
@jmickle_ this is more of a split between creator/consumer, but... i try to keep it in mind.
-
@jmickle_ gender/sexuality is a completely different story, mind, and that's not nothing. but it's not everything.
-
@jmickle_ i think the answer is straightforward, and it is class.
-
@jmickle_ no, actually. this is the lever we have to make that happen, because this is where we are, so this is where we can make change.
-
@jmickle_ fuck i really should sign up to do stuff with arts-emergency.org/
-
i've read a bunch of teardowns/reverse engineering h/w protocols, and there's always weird awkward redundant stuff in there
-
and i've always basically gotten why. but right now, i am feeling why far deep in my bones.
-
@ArtisanalZeros huh! thanks for letting me know, i'll look into it when i get a chance - other bots have been running fine (inc SVG ones)...

@Miss_Sticks @JamesWallis this is great news, ESPECIALLY because it'll really annoy Hannah and Pat

it's 2016 and i'm in a chat with some very experienced Unity developers and we're unsure how to accurately read input events.

Spintax in action! @bdsams/761193639582298112
-
@patrickashe no, but those talks are great and very necessary if you don't know about the thing and the thing is good or important
-
@patrickashe if we have to have more talks on kinda basic historical shit to make people stop thinking they're inventing shit, well worth it
-
@patrickashe I am really glad No Man's Sky is meaning people are talking about Noctis.
-
i should mention that almost all of these methods don't have an error callback.
-
@infovore the bluetooth plugin for Unity we're using. We got it doing over-the-air firmware updates! It's been a fun week.
-
@infovore i mean, the structure isn't too awful (it's a good model for passing stuff between threads that shouldn't get blocked)
-
@patrickashe Sure. And then I'll mention how I saw someone giving a talk at an indie games event recently. Games are like theatre. Brecht.

I am at EMF, and at EMF you get a overly-complicated badge. So. If you want to send me a message, you can text 07520618856.
-
@r4vi i would assume not? But only one way to find out
-
Update: someone has sent me a message. But all I can see is my own test message. Hm.
-
@lorenschmidt that is both true, and also false in every respect.
-
@lorenschmidt "fully functional" - the app is broken, and only shows messages received while it's open
-
@lorenschmidt "sms messaging" - the phone number is only virtual, it receives messages over wifi via a proxy.
-
@lorenschmidt "contained within the badge" - the badge is itself just a PCB with lanyard holes...
-
@lorenschmidt (unless you're implying that all software is contained within it's resident hardware... which is a delightful idea)
-
@edjeff i'm not a racist, i've got black friends

CBDQ: bots running daily seem to have stopped. Investigating now - lemme know if your bot has failed and isn't daily, or hasn't and is.
-
@logodaedalus that was me testing it... It worked, which means I have no idea what's going on...

@patrickashe is this the one I kicked off about? If so, I do care (a bit).

@tburrellsaward wow
-
@tburrellsaward I guess I'm just more famous than you...
-
@edclef me too, but I'm fine with proper anthropomorphization of bots, and even explicitly magical thinking about tech.
-
@edclef goes with an acknowledgement that this is only one limited view on the world, I guess.

@turnislefthome i often say something like "i [don't] like it" when giving feedback... otherwise failing to say it colours all the other fb.

I like tweet threads. Good to see a form which values concision and is designed to withstand fragments taken out of context.

@KommanderKlobb Hard to Be a God is great, too - them setting off to write something like the Three Musketeers.
-
@KommanderKlobb also read Noon: 22nd Century - it's good, feels more like classic sci-fi, and shows through that it started as short stories
-
@KommanderKlobb sadly there's not too many of their works available readily in translation - read some in badly OCRed pirate copies.
-
@hellocatfood for less than the £30 that the roundhouse often charges? yes!
-
@infovore i'm an indie game hipster, so i'm stuck comparing it to Noctis
-
@hellocatfood you reckon it'll be that in demand? but yeah, will do
-
I could see an argument, of a 5-10 indie team working in Unity, for having someone whose role is tool development and teaching.
-
teaching teammates about Unity, Git and other workflow stuff (& fixing it) feels like a substantial part of my job
-
and if you had someone full time on that, then you could work with even less game-experienced people. and teach them games stuff, as a perk.
-
and if it wasn't me, then i could free up time to get more comfortable with the tools my colleagues work with
-
@mink_ette can't renew our lease, and they didn't tell us til we asked... should be okay, just a faff - but reassuring to have a fallback <3

@lazerwalker this is more about being the only/primary coder on a disciplinary team, though

-
the process that leads to “I don’t think I could just replicate this in San Francisco, for example. I’d have to work on something different”
-
fuck the idea that tech is worthless unless it scales indefinitely. understand things the best you can, be honest about it's limitations.
-
“You can’t overstate how important it is that this technology is built with an understanding of the social issue it’s addressing,”
-
also: this is not a tool built to make things more efficient. it will cost councils money, as they deliver the things they are obliged to.
-
what's your favourite obscure, anonymous, inscrutable beautiful and/or mysterious account on here?

@asameshimae daily bots seem to be - haven't had a chance to work out why, sorry
-
@asameshimae I actually largely rely on people telling me - some logging, but hard to tune it right, get it to notify me directly, etc.
-
CBDQ went down. BUT in trying to fix it, I may have uncovered the long-running issue with daily bots. Give it 20 mins?

seems like it's already back up. the issue was it kept running out of memory... but now my server has twice as much memory? we'll see.

Hmm. I think the hype has worked, and I actively do want to play No Man's Sky now. Shame I currently don't have anything that can run it...

@Fortress_Inman it's especially weird because Agile makes far more sense for SaaS or PaaS or whatever web-based things than for games.

@JFriedhoff preach! i think it comes down to self-identity, really. and it loops through - why do you make games etc?
-
@JFriedhoff for me, it was as a rich niche within a broader range of things i was into (and as a way of accessing a lot of those in one)
-
@JFriedhoff but that curdles into self-identity and investment, and those other things don't reinforce that, so what's the point...
-
@JFriedhoff but if i got into drawing and small press stuff instead, i'd be as happy and invested as i am with interactive stuff.

@hoskingc i keep seeing talks which live within a Bioware-style conception of games. It's valid, but also... not everything.

@hoskingc like... just: games are super broad, but often "sex and relationships" talks are by people who play a lot of Bioware games.
-
@hoskingc (Bioware being a bit of a synecdoche, here). So, the examples focus on that, and other views are a "oh, yeah, that too" thing.

@hoskingc I'd probably first reach for Nina Freeman & Christine Love's works? Personal taste, but it doesn't lead to arguments like ^^^.
