Hi Bluesky folks!
🎮 I enjoy games (big fan of Zelda).
👨‍💻 And I'm a backend developer working with .NET, going on quests for perf wins.

This is reminds of a band from Sweden I learned about. The lead made a hybrid electronic-hand cranks music machine that makes its song(s) via marbles dropping on a variety of instruments.

Imagine if Americans had that safety net to keep us afloat.

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

It's my 🎂Birthday🥳 today so it would be a great time to play Moving Houses! Or leave a review for it (those help so much)! Or just share this around. Get a friend to play it. Don't tell them anything about it. It's better that way... store.steampowered.com/app/2831060/...

Moving Houses on Steam

A silly little physics-based game about moving on... or is it? Be neat, be careful, or be a chaos goblin. The choice is yours. But be warned, not all is as it seems in this quiet little house.

As someone who built the things in CA to help with streamlining the benefits process after relying on it most of my life, I have lots of feelings on what’s happening with SNAP.

Keep filing your paperwork (SAR7/RE). When the stupid is over it’ll matter 🫰🏻

A quick gamedev history story.

When I started my career, there were so few 3d artist the company I was hired by had to start a training school to make enough to actually make a big game.

At first we didn't know anything. Real time 3D was new and primitive, and nobody really had mastered it.

a group of men in star trek uniforms are standing around a red door

Alt: Star Trek crew accept an incoming hail and state "We get signal." Another crew member responds "What!" Then Captain Kirk says, "It's you!! Main screen turn on." The caller shows up on screen and says the infamous line, "How are you gentleman!! All your base are belong to us". Captain Kirk simply replies, "Request denied." stopping them in their tracks instead of allowing "all your base" threats to be repeated in a hypnotic beat.

Was so tired I went to bed at 8 without dinner. Unsurprisingly, I woke up at midnight and now deciding between dinner or cereal.

The 3D was so good combined with the soundtrack (I'm a sucker for good stereoscopy). Loved Eve and Athena.
