@RetroBrothers Apologies, my morning brain skimmed the 16K part. Looking forward to that book!

[Melvyn May @melvmay]

@JuhaKiili Brutal! In a good way. :)

[Melvyn May @melvmay]

@JuhaKiili And to think, we’re still focusing on low-energy consumption on devices only to have a gigawatt farm draw a “chicken”. 😆

@virginmedia 6 days without broadband. 4 calls to "support" who are, frankly, terrible and cannot help with anything. 3 engineer calls outs promised but nobody has turned up. What a disaster of a service.

[Melvyn May @melvmay]

So the bots on this account requesting DMs led to a call from “Virgin Media”
and wanted me to install an app for payment. Instant scammer alert. This is so bad.

[Melvyn May @melvmay]

@virginmedia Without broadband for 4 days. Repeated calls to “support” result in nonsense on why, such as “needing to replace copper cables with fibre!” (I’ve been FTTP for 2 years). Got a text message that I will have a visit today. Now 7:30 pm and nothing. £90/month.

[Melvyn May @melvmay]

I did that yesterday but no reply! DM this account??

Unity's 2D physics system has undergone significant reorganization, with updated modules and namespaces, along with numerous new features including many specifically developed to support upcoming components in 6.7.

@stephencsmith Maybe invader projectiles land and persist for a little while (5 seconds?) causing a little fire which is deadly if touched, restricting horizontal movement.

@h8manOfficial It’s strangely addictive. Was tempted to do something similar over the years but never did. Golden dragons, gooey blobs, fire, faking spells… awesome!

[Melvyn May @melvmay]

@h8manOfficial Yes, it was one of my favourite speccy games. Played it all the time with mates.

Testing the low-level 2D Physics sample on iPhone. I added a spring power–boost feature that’s triggered by multi-touch input. https://t.co/UEgAFtuDmL

Unity 6.5 - 2D Physics: Video from yesterday showing the new "TransformPlane.Custom" option.

Unity 6.5 - 2D Physics: Arbitrary 3D transform planes demonstrated using an isolated world on a 3D Asset.

Lots of possibilities with this feature.

@_kzr It's great to see you demonstrating this stuff! Ping me if you have any questions.

[Melvyn May @melvmay]

@SlackHQ It's a real shame that each time we get an update, key preferences keep changing. Today it was no channels showing because I had to go into preferences and filter conv -> All and uncheck "Hide muted channels from your sidebar" which changed to checked for zero reason.

@alexanderameye As a person who loves woodworking, I approve of this chamfer post, my favorite kind of detailing!

[Melvyn May @melvmay]

@Bytewand @willgoldstone Very nice!
