Good to hear. Thanks.

Wow, that's a lot already (to me). Is this amount normal?

This is what happens when you legalize gay marriage and treat people equally, with respect.

But seriously, there's a lot of time left for them to attack that too. It would not surprise me. In fact, I fully expect it after the midterms.

This is why I've started running through all of the banned books.

We're on our way to "it's too late to fix it anyway" as the final excuse. These people do not care about their grandkids, at all.

It isn't much, but I am damn proud of that pickup animation.

We are surrounded by awesome stuff that tends to eclipse the things we do.

Remember to celebrate your achievements no matter what size.

Ouch, good to know that it doesn't behave the same way everywhere.

A history that a lot of people like to forget as having happened "so long ago" for "good reasons". When it was first taught to me it was sugarcoated as "shortening the war for the greater good". It was never really emphasized that we murdered civilians en masse, twice.

The `finally` block doesn't run if you `return` inside the `try`? I know it runs in C#, but which language doesn't run it?

But what if we make it an exclusive privilege, like a night club where the health inspector doesn't believe in Germ Theory, the owner has a "young girl" problem, and the investors want everyone in the club to have a gun? Wouldn't that encourage people to PAY to come here? /s

When you think the future is going to be awesome but it's just flat-nothing and your time machine is one-way.

That was long ago. I quit after they over-simplified the talent system and ruined frost mages.

Playing WoW, I met some great people (and some awful people) and had so many great times. I'll never forget this one Naxx raid...
It's the kind of fun that I wish everyone could experience, at least once. Everyone's singular actions outside of the raid culminating into a successful team effort.

I think that showcasing how it's possible to play your game in different contexts would help. On the go? It runs on mobile. At home? It runs on PC. At a friend's house? It runs on their console.

Is this the kind of tip you're looking for?

I can't wait to begin my weekend. I hope that everyone has a great one.

Alright, back in the conductor's seat for another #bevymergetrain. Love #bevy, #rust, #opensource or #gamedev? Marvel at the gloriously chaotic, productive and creative process of engine dev as I go over 29 PRs that the community thinks we should merge!

Art is the part that I have the least experience with but I'm looking forward to doing it anyway. I'm going to make mistakes, but that's the only way I'm going to get better.

But alas, game design demands your attention.

I had a guy submit a PR that did small cleanup but that also removed all of my unit tests. It was wild. I asked him to justify it but all I got was silence. Fight avoided, I suppose.

Yeah, I loved constructing parks with the potential for multiple paths and trying to manual and grind between different parts.
I miss that game.

Tony Hawk 2 was amazing.

It's tough. Often in software you have to weigh convenient tech debt against long-term maintenance. With games (especially small indie games), very often when it is released, it doesn't undergo multi-year updates, so it is very easy to cut corners and actually be justified if you'll never reuse it.

Thank you for putting this together into one post.

This book was excellent. It sits proudly on my bookshelf.

I'm gold blooded
Cut me and see
I have a taste for gold
And things glittery

"It's better to get the disease than the vaccine" will always live in my brain. These people think of themselves as secret holders of truth - a truth they have personally divined from the universe in spite of all of the collaborative research and discoveries that have saved uncountable lives.

Isn't there a font, too, that is good for people with dyslexia? It has thicker parts of the letters to help with identification. I think every game should include the option to use that font.
