finally got a chance to start reading this BEST SELLER <3 by @victoriatran.bsky.social super fun and full of examples (I very much relate to all the habbo hotel experiences). highly recommend it to anyone self-publishing a game, even if you're not directly working in community management!

so happy and grateful about bitsummit! it was *way* more fun than I thought it would be. I'm deeply touched by everyone's reactions and how people noticed some of the details we put into the game, it's the reason why I love to do what I do 🥹 thank you to everyone who played the game and stopped by!

I'm working on the slides for my gdc talk and this one is probably my favorite

"get good at estimating feature costs!
- make mistakes
- accept that you will context switch. a lot.
breakdown of a bar with estimated work: 4 hours
and then actual work: 2 days"

I like how at the start we were like "no no items descriptions are serious and full of lore" now they look like this

I love data (and music) so I appreciate how lastfm lets me check my music stats any time of the year seriously, more than once someone sent me a band asking "do you know them?" and while I didn't remember, I checked my lastfm and saw that "yeah I was really into them in june 2017 for some reason"

top 5 artists over the last year: radiohead, placebo, mgmt, mother mother, sonic youth

i have this notebook that i use for anything related to my game, so it ranges from random drawings to abstract syntax trees to debug my custom dialogue scripting language

picture of a notebook, there are some random drawings and a lot of graphs with arrows and numbers pointing to each other

this is really cool!!! I love how it compares the OS mapping of the address space between a regular C# (VM-based) app vs. a native AOT app 🤩 I'm also impressed on how native aot supports a "frozen GC heap" for static constructors in compile time (!!), I didn't know it could do that!
