Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk.

Heineman left Interplay after all that, and once the dust had settled, contract stuff meant that Interplay had porting rights to Wolf 3D. They ended up publishing versions for the Mac and 3DO, which they outsourced to Logicware, which was run by... Rebecca Heineman.
Those versions turned out great

Ultimately Carmack ended up doing SNES Wolfenstein mostly by himself, but despite the kerfuffle the audio drivers in the finished build are Rebecca Heineman's. She was not credited.
Incidentally this also means that yes, she was technically involved with Super 3D Noah's Ark and all.

John Romero has a similar account in his autobiography, although he opts to give Rebecca a pseudonym while talking about her.

Remember that time the DOOM dev team violently destroyed a chair which they'd turned into an effigy of Rebecca Heineman after contractual issues left her unable to do the SNES port of Wolfenstein 3D?
Cuz that's a thing that happened.

I just learned that John Carmack misgendered and deadnamed Rebecca Heineman in his "tribute" over on Twitter. He probably thinks it's okay when talking pre-transition days, but FYI, most trans people hate that. Worse, he never calls her "she," switching to "they" for recent memories. Fuck that guy.

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.
One thing that is tough about rapid response/patrols, besides constantly being threatened by armed secret police, is that for the most part they see the defeats. There are exceptions, but you’ll never know how many people were saved by slowing feds down, whistles, community alerts, etc.

I wonder if tech creeps are gonna do what the automotive industry did when they invented the crime of jaywalking to shift the blame for safety issues onto the public
re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.
