I tried out @unitygames #HDRPwater today. It initially looked really awesome, but the lack of tooling for creating things like masks (to attenuate waves around the shore for example) is a killer :-(
Have I missed something?!

Why Women in Tech isn't enough Women in Tech spaces help, but fall short in the long run. Real progress needs systemic change and active involvement from men in positions of power.

I have been back and forth over the span of 5 years about whether to publish this article.

All opinions and experiences in this post are my own, or from people I personally know, backed up with recent reports and statistics.

Candle Pouring Mini Game Prototype
YouTube video by November North Games Candle Pouring Mini Game Prototype

I made a quick video about a prototype for a mini game I made for The Third Tourist.

It's very basic atm, but we're aiming to have several mini games.

Candles will be a big part of the gameplay!

Do you like found families? Characters with a history of trauma trying to do the right thing? Bodyguard romance? Bad guys getting what they deserve? Romantic thrillers? The Ghost Squad are a *great* trilogy and this first book is an awesome intro to Devโ€™s Destroyers.

Can you share pictures and a short review - I was always intrigued by your other chair!
I still love my "Varier That's It Balans" chair.

Come learn how to architect and modularise your applications.

Unbelievable!!
How can the registrar just do this - it opens any wrbsite to malicious and or ridiculous attacks.
"Oh, I don't like the colour they used in their banner let me just file this bogus claim and get them taken down".

@emilychang.bsky.social is killing it with tech interviews of late.

Loving the interviews with the successful women in particular like this one with Lisa Su.

So inspiring.
