A dream ten years in the making.

Thank you @increpare for the generous re-issue of this elusive souvenir, and for a phenomenal game!

@increpare Was just thinking about this yesterday. I've still got my envelope. A time to heal.

@increpare I just noticed you replied to my 2016 pic to help me become aware of the coin reissue. I no longer have X notifs on; happened to find the post through a crazy alignment of other circumstances.

Nonetheless, very thoughtful of you to reach out directly. Thank you!

@TimSweeneyEpic Sorry to trouble you, but 3 months ago I bought Alan Wake 2 on the Epic Store. I was supposed to get a code for AW Remastered, but it never came.

I've spoken with a dozen folks in your support but I still don't have a code. Any chance you can help? Thank you!

I know I sound like Peter Molyneux right now, but hear me out: a crypto coin that is “mined” by recapturing carbon, and the amount required per coin increases as people cash in.

e.g. TIL Americans (and Brits) pronounce “that” and “land” with the same vowel sound.

Last week I started playing @tunicgame, so now I’m on Wikipedia trying to understand the phonetics of my Canadian accent. My /æ/ raising is making it hard to read.

We did it.

A brief search for "besselheim bugsnax" returned 0 results. Just want to let the folks @YoungHorses know that I see you and I liked the reference.

Major thanks to @CameronRitz and his community for the stock tracker and pro tips -- got a PS5 from Walmart today!

Also highly recommend the tip in this video: https://t.co/gF4iJeD9Z3

@pleasingfungus So excited to hear this! Manufactoria is one of my favourite puzzle games!

Years back, some fellow CS grad students and I played it and we enjoyed talking through it. I beat it not knowing you could cross conveyors, and another beat it not knowing you could mirror pieces. 😄

It's amazing to see how little choices create such a distinct texture to the game. Like how the camera focus is positioned relative to the floor, creating a jittering effect when Mario drops off a ledge.

[Ben Reilly @ben_reilly]

Pannenkoek2012/UncommentatedPannen is still my favourite thing on YouTube.

Here's a video that just shows how Mario 64 tracks various invisible quantities like Mario's position, the camera focus, etc.

It's 1h8m long. Show this to your game dev students.

@S3Partners @andrewrsorkin @chamath @RobinWigg Meaning...

"SI % Float" > 100%

is equivalent to

"S3 SI % Float" > 50%

So if 100% short interest is considered very high, then so should 50% S3-calculated short interest.

[Ben Reilly @ben_reilly]

@S3Partners @andrewrsorkin @chamath @RobinWigg To clarify, you're just advocating for a slightly different way of calculating short interest, right? Based on numbers here, looks like you're taking the standard S/F and doing S/(F+S), which just gives you a different-looking number that means the same thing.
