My @gameworkers.co.uk pin arrived today with a hand written note 😭 Solidarity with the Rockstar gang 💜

IWGB pin with a hand written note saying,

“Thank you for your order! ❤️
We appreciate your support so much!
For confirmation your pre-order shirt will ship out separately.
In solidarity,
The former Rockstar gang”

Also the ball matches my nails. The scroll wheel thing is a little disappointing, I thought it would be clicky? Feels kinda loose. The buttons are great and you can map them, even map two buttons being pressed at the same time

This thing is smaller than I was expecting? I don’t know why i thought it would be huge, I guess it gives huge vibes. I thought they’d be a period of getting used to a trackball but it feels really easy to use, at least for me. Feels great to use and comfortable

I’ve been trying out new mice and one of them being the Logitech Lift. I thought I’d like a vertical mouse but it doesn’t hug my hand like I wanted it to. Honestly feels less comfortable than my Logitech Pro Lightspeed. So instead I’m trying out a Kensington trackball… 🧵

Implemented the ability to layer an extra sound that changes depending on the card rarity when opening a pack. Haven't made the sound yet so just pulled from some dev sounds I recorded of me counting. No need for gen AI, obviously a placeholder. Anyone else got examples of their placeholders?

The old battery (top), was inflated a fair bit… no way I’m charging that! (Not that I can find the charger anyway) Replaced the battery and the hard drive still works?? All my music still on there and Rockbox already installed.

In order to reconnect with music and get away from crappy streaming services (that love AI and fund a military company), I’ve dug out my old iPod

Watching the Half Life 2 doc gets me so pumped for game dev. Listening to all the problems they encountered… their ethos to games design… innovating on technology… And of course, Gabe Newell
