Can’t wait for this series! I’m looking forward to some sci-fi with a comedy edge to it. Or is this a comedy with a sci-fi edge? 🤔

Thanks for the tip! I look forward to watching this series.

I had a critical rendering function start producing weird results. I looked at the code over and over but couldn’t find the problem. I noticed a spot on the monitor and went to wipe it off. That was no spot! It was a period that got added into the function code by mistake. What a frustrating bug!

Just put in the Star Raiders cartridge and the Ataris sold themselves. 😉

Take a walk! Last month I started walking everyday. This has changed everything.

It’s more of a Berzerk/Pac-Man hybrid. But… 5 lines! 👏

Beautiful! You are a man of many talents. Thank you for sharing this. Looking forward to more.

This is fantastic introduction to how @cooldowngames.bsky.social came to be. It’s a bittersweet tale of how a phoenix can emerge from the ashes in the gaming industry.

Check out the Studio Ghibli film, “Pom Poko” for ideas. Though it is centered around Japanese Tanuki “raccoon dogs,” they make some authentic noises in the film when they are in animal form.

If you ever confront a raccoon they can make super scary growling and hissing noises.

Sure! Let’s see… Late one night I awoke to otherworldly chittering noises outside. I was sure that aliens had landed. Turns out it was a group of raccoons socializing at the edge of the swimming pool.

😆 Yes… yes it does.
But every incremental piece you get working is an inspiration to keep plodding forward.

I already love this game! Don’t forget that raccoons have a wide vocabulary of amazing vocalizations. Adding sound effects to your little crime bandit will give it a whole new range of expression and personality. The hard part is tempering how much and how often so the sounds don’t become annoying.

New to Bluesky?
Here’s a fantastic how-to thread with recommendations for how to get started.

So peaceful and inspiring, evoking early Kitaro and Vangelis vibes. ❤️ The pacing of the video is perfect.

The #Bluesky #algorithm is delivering off the hook amazing new content and people to my feed this morning! 😍

During the fires in northern California we learned this lesson the hard way. You can cause permanent damage to your lungs breathing in wildfire smoke. Get out your Covid mask and wear it! Also, get those home air filters cranking to keep your home air safe.

Breathing in smoke from wildfires is really bad for your health. During the NorCal fires we learned the hard way. Please mask up in LA. #lafires #health #maskup #lunghealth

Typing on the chicklet keyboard wasn’t easy. But we programmed games on it in our high school computer lab. The PET design was so modern for the time. You can still see them today used as movie set decorations. #nostalgia #computerhistory #retrocomputing

How do you tell if a celebrity account is actually the celebrity they propose to be? 🤔

Accounts are sus if they immediately DM me after a follow and ask how I’m doing using poor grammar or spelling.

Yay! I was hoping it’d be a fun show. Can’t wait to watch.

It was funny that the bot had "a mother in France" who supposedly made her own plum wine. But the bot couldn't understand or react to a simple bit of French language. It just kept drilling for more information.

Be careful when people you follow immediately reach out with DMs. I encountered my first info harvester on Bluesky. Their attempts to drill down into personal info was not subtle. But they couldn’t converse about current events, responding with generic factoids. #bots #security
