That NES emulator test video by 100thCoin motivated me to work on my own emulator some more. Implementing CPU opcodes is a real slog but I’m making progress.

This is really crazy, someone made a NES test suite that covers a lot of the subtle behaviour you’d get on real hardware!

I’m pretty sure that Liquid Glass is the start of porting Vision Pro features to the Mac and iPhone/iPad, just like OSX Lion added iOS features. How long until eye tracking & an always on camera becomes the norm? Would you be okay with that??

Deltarune is the real reason GTA6 was delayed, investors just weren’t confident in competing with it #deltarunetomorrow

My emulator now shows a graphical view of the internals of the CPU and memory.
It's really cool being able to watch the test programs running this way!

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

My phone telling me I was “asleep” when I was doomscrolling literally on the same device that blared my wake up alarm 🤦🏽‍♂️

I lost the last couple of commits to my local git repo because my cloud sync server had a conflict!

That’s never happened before!!

Luckily I didn’t lose any real work, it reverted to having the changes uncommitted..

I got Half-Life 1 in 2003, and it 100% lived up to all the hype. I adored its map editor, whereas other engines were impenetrable to 16 yo me. After HL2 released I spent many evenings modding the Source engine. It was such a huge influence on me as a game dev. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years!

I feel a little guilty that I’m basically waiting for my favourite artist to experience more emotional trauma so I can buy more of her artwork to hang up in my living room.

Some drunk girls approached me at a burger place in Soho insisting that they’ve seen me on TV before and wouldn’t let it go. I said I did some interviews years ago for my game No Man’s Sky. They’d heard of it, asked me a few questions and then paid for my meal! The guilt has been eating me up since.

Banjo-Kazooie was considered very progressive for its time because instead of rescuing a princess or another love interest, you actually rescue your sister

Forget banging pots and pans, if you’re gonna spit in the faces of NHS workers do it properly! It’s wonderful to be appreciated so much 🥰
