Do like Tenchu? Me too!
I built a website for generating random load-outs, mixing up how to approach completing levels.

www.randomninjagear.com

Currently, it only supports Tenchu 1 and Wrath of Heavens, but I plan to add other games soon.
If you try it, let me know what you think. #天誅

Ruby is easier to learn than Elixir.

I have a proof based on a conversation with my baby girl:

Me: Luna can you say "Ruby"?
Luna: "Ruby"
Me: Fantastic! Can you say "Elixir"?
Luna: "ergxiiifreghhhh"

It was worth waking up early to join @kaspth.com's walkthrough/overview of Oaken. I'll be spending sometime this week checking out if it's the right choice for my current team. Seems like a good fit though.
Come join our free gem walkthrough next Tuesday 👋

You'll see a new take on fixtures + factories + seeds, and gain a new perspective on your dev and test data.

It's live over Zoom, so you can ask questions too.

Remember tests being fast? lol Your factories may have started easy, but now they're painful for your growing team. What about fixtures, could they save you?…

I've been using Git since it was invented and "yours" and "theirs" might as well be "hnunch" and "grwinf" for all they make sense to me as names for "the branch I'm rebasing main" and "the I'm rebasing *onto*". I have to look at the contents every. single. time. to figure out which one means which.

These here are four absolute bangers for the Sega Master. I could not imagine my childhood without experiencing these.

Bright, colourful, and fun platformers. Each has it's own little twist to keep you coming back for more.

I am trying to write again for my software development blog.
I intend to write a series of semi-practical notes on code-as-text perception, the topic I have been thinking about for years now.
Less Ruby-centric, and probably more honest and humane. We'll see.

Notes on code, text, and war. Week 1: Believing in text
Writing texts is the most useful and fruitful metaphor for software development. Intro to a series of posts on theoretical and practical implications of it. And something about war.

If you live/work in Japan the Government website with translations of the law in (hopefully) your mother tongue is pretty nice reference when you need it.

Do read the disclaimer, but it is a decent starting point to knowing you rights.

"Quest for Cozy" is now available to all on YouTube! I break down my criteria for a comfortable experience, how games (dis)respect your time, and why I've found myself drifting away from the hobby in the past few years.

This 35-year-old CVG April Fool was pretty cool! Cobbled together using crappy old bits of tech, this amazing device allegedly plugged into the back of an Amiga and enabled it to play Mega Drive carts. We got calls from distributors. Readers hopes were dashed. We had some lolz.

This bad lad is getting long in the tooth, but I think the stickers are the main thing holding back an upgrade (And price). Still does what I need though.

Brand posts support video on YouTube. Enables advertising. Earns money while user get support.

My waiting through ads to figure out how to descale my coffee machine earns them money.

Is this late stage capitalism?
