You totally know that some exec complained about the jerky Southpark animation and said it would be so much better at 60fps.

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on

Ok despues de casi 10 años sin dar una charla (que se me han hecho largos como 100), mañana nos veremos en la #TRGx! Estoy mas oxidao que el Titanic pero con un poco de suerte lo disfrutaremos desde ambos lados del powerpoint.

Una charla nada habitual y, menos aun, impartida por alguien con experiencia de DECADAS en cada sector.

A retrospective of my tech career - a work-focused autobiography, basically - feels a bit vain, but I'm hopeful that it is interesting or useful enough to justify that.

If nothing else writing it up forced me to try to remember what actually happened.

No thank you, you already do enough damage while rested, don't ever want to see what you can do while tired + rushing.

I'm very happy in bsky but I'm not a zealot, I kept my twitter account alive and every few weeks I drop by to check out how the site is doing.

I rarely last 5 minutes and always leave angrier than I arrived. And I only look at my feed, not the algorithmic one. That site just makes people be worse.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

Lots of great things and also some shitty things are happening all around us, but tonight The Diplomat is back and that's going to be how my own day ends well. That show is a perfect blend of tones and themes, backed by a cast that's fully into it.

The Mist probably qualifies as sci fi and definitely horror, in fact I expect it to show up in this thread.

If you think AI hallucinating stuff when generating code or graphics is bad, let me tell you about this nightmare I had last night where AI was doing producer work.
