Intro threads are a thing now apparently.

Hey all, I'm Jordan Carroll! Senior developer, currently in web, formerly in mostly-non-entertainment game development for the HoloLens (RIP).

I have some game side projects, like a 3D Arcade Fishing game with o v e r t o n e s called Fish Heaven.

I started working on my 3D engine for #playdate a little over 3 months ago, and took copious footage of the milestones and interesting failures. All footage is timestamped with the date of capture. Enjoy!

Wow, got blocked for saying we shouldn't make fun of physical appearances that isn't a stupid style choice, even for horrible people.

Like come on, I get the impulse to poke at the guy but that's sending a super crap message to everyone with the same Physical Thing.

I get the impulse to poke at the guy in any way possible, but can we please not make fun of physical appearances that aren't a style choice?

Pokémon LG/FR has this exact feature and it was very good. Every time you resume a save it gives you a quick summary of the last few things you did.

Back in 2010 I was a BP worker. (The year of the infamous spill.)

It's fascinating how in real life huge stories just don't have an ending at all. Remember the Boeing scandal? Planes falling apart? Dead whistleblowers? Was there some kind of resolution to it? Is it all fine now?

It's like a plot that's just an endless series of inciting incidents

Anyone hiring a senior dev with strong design / visual art sensibilities? I like working with games and frontend web! Lot of ReactJS / Unity3D experience.

Here's a GIF of a custom 3D engine I wrote from scratch in C for the Playdate (1-Bit)

Went out to lunch with my visiting in laws and some of their local friends today, and when they found out I was a software developer the absolute first thing they asked was "So are you worried about AI taking your job?" and it took every last ounce of willpower I had
