Is 25 too young for retirement?

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

Love a good desk move

@dilettaux @JuhanaMyllys That's just straight-up pinball 😆

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

I’m biased but play this

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

@dilettaux I mean I assume, I’m too cool for a licence 😎

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

@dilettaux Safety announcement! Before you start working on said startup: park, remove hands from the wheel, and make sure the handbrake is on 😆

@Com_Raven Mindlessly hating on EA is at least three or four "edgy publisher hot takes"* old at this point, surely?

*new gamedev unit of time

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

@Com_Raven Of all the consumer/industry disconnects, gamedev has to be the absolute wildest

Someone at Google woke up this morning and decided they wanted to instigate a cross-Tamar conflict

@migueldeicaza So if I'm reading this right (written about 10 lines of Swift in my career 🙃) you're treating the display as one giant quad and doing all the fun stuff in the fragment stage? That's awesome, and congrats on the new release!

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

@dngddrd But I feel this, currently doing far too much frontend work and it’s just pure unadulterated pain

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

@dngddrd If you can write the CSS to position them inside it, sure

Dogsitting for these two beautiful pups.

Big congrats to everyone at @DSDambuster for shipping @deadislandgame - it’s been through a special brand of development hell, but awesome for it to finally see the light of day!

Definitely improved since the build I last worked on… seven years ago 🙃

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

This hurts my soul

The creative director just played a new game and now wants to have a meeting with the design staff.

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

After suffering through the process of building a game prototype in Unity, we burned out - hard. Current #gamedev tools just don't value a collaborative, design-first approach.

So, against all sensible advice, we're building a game engine for #indiedev 🤪 https://t.co/d9xO2IU6cz

@SilverSober I am, broadly speaking, not a very intelligent man 🙃 hope you’re feeling better now though!

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

@SilverSober The less confident cousin of “I feel fine, don’t see why I need to take these any more” which this idiot experiences at least annually 🤪

I’ve had pretty good luck in the past with emergency dispensing but your mileage may vary, like everything health-related in the UK…

@kohizeri Assuming that “rising from the dead” was intentional, that is!

[Ruan Pearce-Authers @returnString]

@kohizeri Jesus, I think I was working on this long enough ago that my NDA doesn’t even apply any more 🙃
