Just heard the very sad news that a former Software Creations friend passed away recently. All of his friends knew him as 'Bone'. He was a friendly, fun, knowledgeable guy who started in QA at Creations back in the early 90s, and was recently working on Star Citizen. RIP @bone6502.bsky.social

Had the English equivalent, absolute magic having it run out when you’re in the (electric) shower. Lights out, freezing water, got to go straight to the corner shop for a new card. Death.

Feels like the lead in for a Garth Marenghi story. “The digestives had started giggling at me. Literally, they had ‘giggling’ written on the packet.”

Thanks for pointing this out - I’d listened to the audiobook but missed the bonus chapter as it’s queued after the acknowledgments section. I assumed the book was over and deleted it!

The resignation in the guys putting the cloth on it is great. Real “we told you this would happen, but you didn’t listen” slow casualness to it.

Me and my partner take a weird glee in watching the hubris but that one episode where the guy lost his family and fortune and had to immediately sell the house to make ends meet was genuinely grim.

Glaswegian can be tricky even for us Brits. Geordie (Newcastle / North East) is a tricky one too if the accent is strong. I have a Geordie relative who I literally cannot understand.

Escape The Dark Castle might do the job. It’s like DnD lite, portable and quick sessions. Easy to pick up and a lot of fun.

Revived a 9 year old(!) ghostbusters-ish co-op/competative prototype recently. Co-op to capture ghosts, compete for XP gems. It's starting to get fun, might make a little 4-5 map game of it. #screenshotsaturday

This quote from Leon Battista Alberti has helped me through that transition many times
A book screenshot that reads: 5. Once executed, the idea will never be as good as it is in my mind? Toughen up. Leon Battista Alberti, a fifteenth-century architec-
tural theorist, said,
tural theorist, said, "Errors accumulate in the sketch and compound in the model." But better an imperfect dome in Florence than cathedrals in the clouds.

Tweet from @dandouglas – “i'm the CEO of an AAA games studio, and as you might guess, we're pretty psyched about making games! but we never let making games get in the way of our true passion: laying off loads of staff fucking constantly”

Interesting! Sounds like you’re doing it at runtime. Was there any benefit to baking the results offline or is it not expensive enough to be worth the effort?

Shadows of Doubt has a bit of this with small tower blocks that you can fully explore. But because it’s procedurally generated they aren’t hugely interesting to explore.
