According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program". This famous photo 🔽 inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.

Margaret Hamilton, but the famous 1969 photo that inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison is in the quoted post.

Well Dweller is, Well, Amazing. Truly one of those unexpected engrossing Metroidvanias that dissects the conventions of the genre and gives it its own twist. The little tweaks made it a joy to jump back into its dour world every night. My review for @nintendonwr.bsky.social 👇 youtu.be/vtKBQ7Vf71s

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

These are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devs

As Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

Well this is just awesome. I don’t know why it would only work for you this way… Have you ever tried modern VR? Maybe it’s the Fresnel lenses. Or maybe Virtual Boy works due to the single color?

How is the stereoscopic effect for you? The cardboard visor gradually slides down my nose (even playing on my back), which makes me lose the focal point. That is definitely causing some of the discomfort.

It gives me a headache and cold sweats after a short session, even playing on Switch 2.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but The Vampire Lestat on AMC+ is one of the best series I’ve ever seen. However, you should first watch Interview with the Vampire (two great seasons). The new show’s style and perspective are wildly different, but the characters and storylines are continuous.

Even though the Halo franchise has been gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations, at least Bungie, the original creators of Halo, have also been separately gutted for failing to meet unrealistic expectations

Is this going to cost less later? I’m already a few games behind on JRPGs so reticent even for such an acclaimed title in a series that’s totally new to me.

The key is to let the two leads’ charisma and chemistry wash over you. It is not an elite script and obviously not an original concept, but the execution is quite charming. Also, online relationships were completely novel to most of the audience when this movie debuted. That part ages funny.

Same here. I didn’t make it halfway through the last Fire Emblem I bought — too much texty nonsense, which is now the most popular aspect of the franchise.

I have an unconventional solution to the loneliness crisis and the erasure of third spaces...

Marketing graphic for Nintendo Streetpass on the 3DS. It shows white stick figures going about their days and the two in the middle are walking away from each other, one has a tote bag the other a briefcase. It shows 3DSes in their bags and green arrows forming a circle between the people. At the bottom is two 3DSes doing a wireless communication thing between them.

I love the videos we've started producing this year, where @jtsknight92.bsky.social finds something interesting in our library and goes down a rabbit hole, teaching you how to research along the way. Also, look at the comments! It turns out intelligent content builds intelligent communities, weird.
