Was playing with the new WoW housing system. I contributed to housing on Free Realms, EQ1, EQ2, and wrote most of the housing for Just Survive. WoW did it REALLY well :)

Scaled a hot tub, a tent (to make a gazebo), and some guildies visited.

Culmination of a LOT of hard work from our teams. Feels good :)

Zucchini fritters and labneh. Turned out very well! 🍽️ #whatscooking

Where's the up the snoot picture? We demand it :)

Earplugs, rather.

I use Eargasm earbuds (I have no connection to them, just a happy user). They filter out a lot of a noise and high range, giving you clarity on close folks, and filtering out folks further away (and noise).

A fan hooked our game up to a VR rig, and burned about 1000 calories :)

Pushing hard for the 3rd phase of our alpha test. Can't wait to see how our players react to some of the neat features we've added :)

I also add sriracha or a bit of gochujang to the batter. I like spice.

My pancake above was huge. I was hungry :) 6" diameter is good to shoot for.

Mix the veggies into your batter.

Use small amt of cooking oil that supports higher cook temperatures.

Pour the batter/mixture into the pan, and spread out so that the pancake is thin. The above recipe makes about 3 med. pancakes. Cook 2-3 min per side. Check edges periodically.

Sure. Start with whatever kimchi you like.

1 cup cold water
1.25 cups flour (some folks say you can use pancake mix)
1 egg
Mix that together until smooth and slightly runny
Chop 1 cup kimchi (1/2 inch squares)
Slice, thinly, 1/4 of a med. onion
Add 1-3 chopped (2 inches) scallions.

Made kimchi pancakes and eggs for lunch today :)

Managed to encapsulate internationalized messages, store them in our MongoDB, retrieve them, and ship them to the client where they get localized. That was a chore and a half. The wrapper class was a nifty bit of work :)

Found a wicked little item duplication exploit bug today. Building a better mousetrap, one method at a time :)

Did some voice acting today. Man, my goblin voice WRECKS my cords. Fun, though :)

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Thanks to, Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't. This is a big issue now as the mass extinction event trundles along and most people are utterly oblivious to it. 🧪🌍🌿 #species

🍽️ Loaf pan shawarma. Turned out great 😃. 5 minute prep.

I want characters with interesting faces, proportions and imperfections.

Why on earth would we want everyone look like airbrushed mannequins?

Lots of prep for our next Alpha phase. We're also getting great feedback from our public test server. I'm super happy with the way this alpha 2 test has been going!

I've tried games well into beta that have either not allowed remapping, or "locked" some specific keys. Sucks when they're keys I used to move (EDSF). I've uninstalled / asked for a refund several times for this when the game is in production.

Finished all of the year-end reviews for my direct reports. We have such a fantastic team!

Quantum Computers Cross Critical Error Threshold | Quanta Magazine In a first, researchers have shown that adding more “qubits” to a quantum computer can make it more resilient. It’s an essential step on the long road to practical applications.

In a paper published today in Nature, researchers at Google Quantum AI crossed a significant threshold in quantum error correction, moving quantum computers one step closer to practical applications. @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/quantum-comp...
