YouTube video by Better Software Conference Ted Bendixson – Most of your projects are stupid. Please make some actual games. – BSC 2025

Another great talk, loving this conference. Really like the "here's what to care about/care about later" code examples. Think a lot of people get stuck on that in lower level programming that you don't need the whole world solved upfront. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca53...

Enjoyed this talk on writing thread pools and synching up heavily dependent systems, especially the Q&A

I struggled to get into the lies of p dlc at first, but after the first section it was just as good as the base game. High recommend

Great new song from sleep token, excited for the full album. Can't wait to see them this fall

From Loralee’s upcoming album, ‘Feeling OK’ discovers the beauty in imperfection Michigan-based artist Loralee’s new single ‘Feeling OK’ is a delicate fusion of bedroom-pop, singer-songwriter folk and a smattering of indie-R&B.

"Built on acoustic strings and lulling keys, this track gradually unfolds like the blossoming of the first golden hour of Spring, with rays of soft light streaming through a newly green forest after the long winter" - Unrecorded #musiciansky #musicsky #indiemusic

Monster train is (I think) my most played game on steam and Im pumped for Monster Train 2. About to try the demo!

My new single Feeling Ok is out now! This song talk about the inner battle between artistic perfectionism and contentedness. I hope you enjoy this mellow addition to your morning. #musiciansky #musicsky #indiepop #bedroompop #indieartist #smallartist #womeninmusic

I loved legends arc, excited for ZA. Combat was one of the weaker points of Arc, very interested to see how the real time seeming elements shake it up

I've been reading severance fan theories and my daughter watching little bear, and I can't help but make theories about the bears being a severed experiment from lumon.

Last night's hockey game of us v Canada was probably one of the most intense games of hockey I've ever watched

Severance continues to be one of the best shows in season 2. Wow that last episode

Really enjoy the note on writing down annoyances. Need to start doing that myself, rather than my current process of just rediscovering them again every couple months :)

Seasick is out now! My new song tells the story of a ghost lost at sea, trying to remember how she died. Give it a listen on Spotify or your favorite streaming site. :) 🌊🌬💙

Combat in eternal strands is really sweet. Feels easy to be creative. Also easy to die while trying to be creative..

Just finished nine sols, what a beautiful game

So many fantastic-looking articles!

Together with my teammates, we have also contributed a chapter: "Differentiable Graphics with Slang.D for Appearance-Based Optimization".

Thought I'd share a bit about the terrain editing in my little island town building game, since I haven't here.

The terrain is fully editable and supports both smooth surfaces and caves and arches. It automatically makes rocks or grass depending on its shape.
