it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Nova Drift has the best achievements I've ever seen for a game.
90% are just daring you to either try an interesting build, or to work out how to break the mechanics in half to do something interesting.

Incredible thread. Even has a link to ANOTHER incredible thread on optimization. Must read for any #Godot devs
Thread on what it took to port Rift Riff, made in Godot, to iOS and Android. 🧵👇

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could
now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

Didn't get as much done as I wanted for #FallingBlockJam but I did finally make my own home grown version of Tetris.
Did finally learn how to use particle effects in Godot in the process and I'm DEF gonna be using that knowledge going forward.

I tried my hand at making a video codec. I didn't know the first thing about video codecs when I started, so was quite fun to learn about the concepts and how to implement them.
I packaged the result in a stb-style, single-file header-only lib, < 2500 loc with no dependencies.

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Updated my data with the latest info. July 2025 now has as many known games industry workplaces experiencing layoffs as our previous peak in the absolutely brutal January 2024, except in 2024 a disproportionate number of indicants have unknown headcounts which should be VERY concerning.
