Yep, still working on #CharacterLimitGame and it's now on Steam for wishlisting. No pressure on me at all. None. Nope....

The game is coming along, and it inevitably has to get released. Still a lot of work to do though and no chance of getting help from a publisher (Looks at Devolver and Wales Interactive...) #indiedev #gamedev

"How do I demonstrate this effect. Maybe a video? How do I capture my desktop again? Uh...."

A complete balls-up....

Yes, I have been dumb enough to work on a game using ChatGPt, Xcode, and @unity.com . But at least I know I have limitations and no delusions of grandeur. The first project where you're learning is almost always terrible, and I am well aware of that. Cue an @appleinsider.com summary...

Good news: There's compliance.
Bad news: Devs still face some Apple charges...

Only an hour to go until @appleinsider.com deals with #WWDC25. Emergency drinks on standby...

Hardware is never guaranteed for WWDC.

Huzzah! @appleinsider.com is a clue on a @puzzmo.com crossword today!

That 20th-anniversary iPhone could be an AI-processing monster, which could be useful at the time when it comes out....

"iPhone 17 cases can have really wild camera holes" is apt. I mean, look at that sideways T version....

The screen's thinner because Samsung incorporated the touch layer directly, instead of it being a separate section. Subtracts about a fifth of the thickness of the display, which is nice...

On the one hand, Epic had the opportunity cost worth a billion dollars. On the other, the Epic Games Stores Webshops initiative should recoup that fairly quickly...

Pro tip: You probably don't want to do this...

A 12% charge for out-of-app transactions via the Epic Games Webstore after the first million in revenue actually seems quite reasonable for developers...

The court says Apple lied to it. Oops...

More bandwidth! Faster memory access! More data for the Data God! (And by Data God, I mean Apple Intelligence after it gains sentience and turns the iPhone 18 into a vehicle for world domination...)

Frustrated by Intel, Apple said "Hold my cider" and did its own chip thing. In the process, it nudged the PC chip market towards a machine learning future...

Easter Sunday surprise: Closed Apple Store's doors were unlocked Easter Sunday pedestrians managed to have a peaceful experience browsing a Dutch Apple Store, as the front door was left unlocked when the store was meant to be closed.

Apple's security is usually great. Not if you were at the Amsterdam Apple Store on Sunday though...

I keep forgetting I have this. Sorry. Also, Hi.

No charging issues so far (strong magnets are strong).
And yes, you're gonna need to start a workout in an app on the iPhone and keep it in Bluetooth range (Not an issue for around a gym or courtside, but you're gonna need to bring it along if you're going for a run...)

I have to say, they're pretty darned good. And no, I couldn't resist the obvious pun...

This is your periodic reminder that the Japanese #LongLongMan commercial is the best short-form story series of all time...

A donut with pink icing on a grey background. It is a 3D render using the tool Blender.

To try and make this account more interesting, here's my slow attempts to learn how to do the Blender Donut. On a Mac.

Yep, account still works...
