Slappers only on stack?

Secretly looking forward to which part of Destiny Telesto will break next...

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

Tonight was a harsh realisation that 27 year old me can not play halo 3 to the same standard 14/15 year old me could. Brutal.

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

So you can't run Sky Go and snipping tool? What am I going to do, take 60 screenshots a second and make a bloody flipbook?!

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

The @Bungie @BungieCareers tech blog was a fascinating first read, proper insight into how mature codebases can manifest bugs that have seemingly been around for a while but never actually shown themselves. I am curious as to why so many underscores, I'm guessing for readability?

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

Hosted an API I single handly built on a publicly accessible domain for the first time today. Something that has been done by many, but feels like a big achievement for me.

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

Always the little things that cause issues. Spent nearly 2 hours wondering why I couldn’t connect to a database on EC2, didn’t have an inbound rule for the port 🙃

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

Hit my comedy peak today. #sorrynotsorry

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

I wasn’t aware speeds could get this low anymore

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

So if I do a full play through of the @Bungie Halo series, is it best to do it in release order (CE, 2, 3 ODST, Reach) or do I throw Reach in at the start 🤔

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

First impressions of @TheDivisionGame are very good, matchmaking worked better, cover is utilised better and controlling weapons seems tighter. Not without its faults though, UI is far too busy and at times the contrast between light and dark spaces makes it hard to play well.

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

@BoxEscapist Should have mentioned, that’s with a brand new PSU in, just put it in last night as I thought it was potentially the issue.

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

Any of my followers have any ideas about why this is happening??! Driving my mad #pcissues

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

This is a very sad sight, trying to find out where the issues lie and all my pretty cable management has become this hideous mess.

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

Can’t believe my @NZXT PSU waited until it was like a week out of warranty to pack in! Typical 😩

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

Messing around with some “cover” systems, green being the points that are classed as safe, red being points that are in the players line of sight, ie the camera view. #GameDev #Unity

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

After talking to some people I don’t think some appreciate how difficult games dev is and I feel unless you’ve been through a full dev cycle you have very little ground to winge and complain about a game and the people who make them.

[Marian @marian42_]

I added more detail to some of the building blocks of my procedural city generator. #procgen #gamedev

[Andrew Raper @RealAndrewRaper]

Absolutely love blocktober, so much inspiration and drive to go build new and cool stuff!
