First and last shipped games I worked on.(... or at least most recent? Hopefully not last...)

[Jason @BPLlama]

@truffle So many credits lost to those tiny hands...

[Jason @BPLlama]

@truffle Have you had the cheesecake (and other nom foods) at Collin Street Bakery yet?

[Jason @BPLlama]

@davidgaider Well deserved! Congrats to you and your team!

@cwgabriel I remember reading the Sin strip. Can't guarantee it was the first one I laid eyes on, but my brain identifies it as "the first strip". I still use the Llama profile pic you drew for GameSpy back in the day! https://t.co/ZTgNVKSEJ3

@nighguy problems. https://t.co/TlEPgnSrIF

@ZenOfDesign My Rogue (basically the TB build from Icy Veins) started that way, then flipped partway through the campaign. Has enough mobility to keep me out of the fires and essentially circle-strafe the bosses that can't be stunlocked. Packs of ranged minions are my bane now.

Only capitalism could turn unlimited free electricity into a problem.

Just finished "Yumi and the Nightmare Painter." I think it may be my new favorite Sanderson book!

[Jason @BPLlama]

@ZenOfDesign I remember Sully and Spider. That's it.

@ZenOfDesign I share this take. We need all the non-carbon-emitting power we can get, plus a smarter power grid and insane power storage capacity too. The scale required to replace fossil fuels is utterly massive.

[Jason @BPLlama]

@truffle I'd give a slight edge to Mistborn, but they're both so good...

[Jason @BPLlama]

@ZenOfDesign Bree and I both said Bard.

@lynneaglasser I listen to a documentary while I exercise/stretch to distract my brain from the monotony (and often learn cool stuff too!)

[Jason @BPLlama]

@WS_Dandelion Robotech here too!

[Jason @BPLlama]

@8bitjer Thanks! Yeah, the "only" was for the quantity of shipped projects (4 games over 19 years), certainly not minimizing the scale/impact of those projects!

[Jason @BPLlama]

Quote retweet with four projects you've worked on. Here are the (only) four full-fledged games in my career thus far!

@CloudSt74702961 @bjaudette Guided missiles! As an MMO our projectiles were all client-side VFX fakery, so we implemented missiles by applying a DoT to the target with a single tick of damage at the end. Duration set based on distance at time of launch. Evasion was done by dispelling the DoT.

[Jason @BPLlama]

@bjaudette Indeed! Starfighter Team for LIFE! :)

[Jason @BPLlama]

@ZenOfDesign ... and that was after HitchBot made it all the way across Canada unharmed. https://t.co/msNe9GHOnY

Almost deactivated my Twitter account today, due to two-factor authentication changes. The app freaked me out by trying to disable it altogether, when it really should have helped me migrate to an authenticator app. Seems very irresponsible to default to reduced security.
