I’m also in the market for a Morrissey themed dart board, piñata, or wicker-man if anyone knows where I can get those.
Tempted to buy one of these “The Smiths” mugs, just so I can smash it.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a c++ coder at 50 - I’ve just been staring at a compiler error for 10 minutes and now just realized I misspelled “constexpr”. #cpp

“And lo, The Oracle demanded $2.50 from each Israelite for worshipping their golden calf. In return, Moses looked to the Sun, and the Sun and bestowed upon him a GPL version that could be shared with everyone.”
I saw coding book yesterday that described C as “God’s programming language.”

Kinda funny. Kinda true.

Imagine if Moses had returned from mount Sinai to find the Israelites all worshipping Java.

When compiling with “warnings as errors” + supporting both MSVC and Clang, bear in mind that Clang be like “That constexp isn’t used - fail!” while MSVC be like “unused constexp whatever, but hey is that a %d? You crazy? That’s string formatting a size_t!”

What about 50 year olds with a stomach ache and no dopamine?
BlueSky is a club for 42-year-olds with a stomach ache and no serotonin. I thought we all knew this.
bluesky in november is like if all of a website had seasonal affective disorder

This new track by Kim Petras sounds like Army Of Me by Björk right? No one’s picking up on that in the comments and I feel like I’m losing my mind.

TIL ClangCl and MSVC compilers are warnings-neurotic about very differents things.

My knee hurts all the time. In July I thought “this is going to be a lot worse by October”. The MRI agreed. I was told to ‘get lighter’, so I’ve lost 20kg. My knee still hurts now, but probably a lot less than it could have. Did I do the right thing?

The 12yo has the ant lion pheromones. Carnage.
My 12yo found HL2 in the family collection and started playing it on Friday night. He’s had a few questions, some of which I could answer from memory, while others I could deduce from my experience as a gamedev.

Still a great game after all these years.

So often in AAA we hang ourselves out to dry on quality targets that separate us from indie titles, only for players and press to revel in those indie games without even noticing those exact same limitations. E.g. Every quest transition being very not seamless. IDK if it matters all that much. 🤷‍♀️

I worked quite a bit on the toolchain stuff for this, hitting a consistent 30FPS was a hugely collaborative endeavour between toolchain, rendering and other engine work. It's the first time we ship a game with CSPGO as well, which helped in dense areas. Hope you enjoy!

I was talking to IT this morning, and we were talking about bios requirements for Win11 which we think are silly. I told him I still don’t run with SafeBoot, which I would have to if I wanted to run a certain software prod. I asked if he could guess what that would be. He said “ummm… Battlefield6?”

I couldn’t change my payment details with PSN, so I made a new PSN acc. I couldn’t link it to my EA acc because it was at one time linked to to the old PSN acc. I made a new EA acc. And I couldn’t link my Discord to the new EA acc because they know that it was once linked to the old EA account.

The Star Wars Outlaws Demo is now available on Switch 2!

It's the same free 3 hour Tatooine demo that was already available on PC, Xbox and PS5. Lots of Switch players already saying they have checked it out, are impressed and want to get the full game
