It was super fun to talk with @ashleyesqueda.com about MMoJ!! A game and team truly near and dear to my heart. I really appreciate everyone that's worked on the game, and everyone that has played it! For folks I manage, I promise I won't draw brocollis on your next performance review.

For that weird, narrow segment of technically-minded programmers who want to know how we programmed 3D graphics in the 90s and also want to know about 80% of the stuff I programmed before RAD, I sat down for a 5 hour interview on the Wookash Podcast.

Bigger! Better! Boba Fett! Our story from the day in question.

Today in Mojo History—16 years ago today: The oh so special edition of The Secret of Monkey Island launched.

Screenshot of a post from the PC master race subreddit. It says "Man please stop dodging me I'm trying to conserve minuscule amounts of cpu/memory". Below, a photo of someone banging their desk with the text "When I try to end a task in task manager just for the app to jump to another spot causing me to end some other fuckass app"

If you hold CTRL, it will pause Task Manager so the processes don't move around when you're sorted by resource usage

It's a bummer to say it, but I too have been impacted by these layoffs at Cyan. I’m absolutely holding out hope that this is a temporary setback—we were working on WAY too many cool things to leave them on the shelf.

Cyan took such good care of us, and zero regrets at the end of the day. 💙
