Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

One of my engineers found a bug a couple of days ago, and it was one of those that left us wondering “how many random-looking crash reports has this caused?”

I love seeing this community gaining a huge amount of traction. I don’t think I’ll ever quite get back to involvement I had at the other place, but I really do enjoy this.

Working on Warcraft games was a huge part of my career and my life. Excited for this celebration.

Some of our work in UEFN right now is improving the reliability of our live editing. Back about 15 years ago there was, coincidentally, a project called the Verse Networking Protocol that started with a network sync protocol for primitives as its lowest layer in the engine. 1/2

Eight years separate Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now" and Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know". My older self is thinking about that period of change that my younger self experienced. Feels like it was *decades*.

So many familiar faces and sane opinions around here.

After a nice break to unwind a bit, I’m happy to share that I started a new position as Engineer Director at Epic Games! I just wrapped up my second week. I'm working with an amazing group of engineers working on UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite).

Random product rant: I can’t understand why all modern LED flashlights have an easy-to-accidentally activate flashing mode. I have never, ever once wanted flashing.

A blueski (rhymes with brewski) for @kurtismcc.bsky.social

Elegy, in Limmerick form:

There once was a site named Twitter
Bought by a Musk rather bitter
His obsession with X
Made a terrible flex
And revenue went in the shitter.

Despite advances in quantum mechanics, it’s impossible to determine the exact positions of all of these cats.

This digital diaspora is strange. I finally saw the new logo on my phone and was deeply creeped out.

There were a number of epidemiology studies done in WoW. I wonder if this Twitter detonation will be similarly studied for its effects.

How’s everyone doing?

Figuring this out. Terrible puns will come online shortly
