So much of humanity watching #Artemis2 #splashdown! All of us let out a sigh of relief when radio contact came back through and the 3 chutes opened up. #NASA & #CSA right now: "We're so back."

@gitlab.com what's with all the memory usage?? Do you load every repo all at once for optimal retrieval??? In all seriousness, Love your work. It's great that I can self host my personal source control, even if it might mean buying ...more... #RAM ....<gulp> #docker #homelab

I asked #ClaudeCode to help me figure out how to embed youtube videos in markdown/MDX. It gave me sample code and a sample video. The sample video was Rick Astley... I just got rickrolled by an #AI.... thanks for that @anthropic.com ......

Hey #Vancouver (and anyone willing to travel to the city) if I found a cool place to host the Rocket & Raygun Awards would you come and help us celebrate the best in games from 2025? LMK!

Yes! 2026! It was made initially in a bespoke game engine and I decided to port it to Unity so that it'd be easier to maintain. Most of the code is Unity-like already so it wouldn't take a ton of time, but just requires some focus. Thank you for the encouragement! Glad to know ppl enjoy it still!

Hi @jesseguarascia.com! I'm a Canadian dev who put a demo of Frequency Sync out for #SteamNextFest. It's a combination of gamified music visualizers that combined with 3D shape puzzles. Would love to hear what you all think about it! bsky.app/profile/rtxr...

Rob @8bitbob.dev · 13/06/2025
Frequency Sync demo is out now for #SteamNextFest! A few years back I made a #gamejam game that gamified music visualizers as 3D puzzles. Tried it on mobile but couldn't get the UX right and left it. Turns out It's a lot more fun in VR 😁 #gameplay #madewithunity www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNnt...
