There is a new autistic barbie out, but no one is talking about her mother, undiagnosed computer engineer barbie about to get the surprise of her life when she starts to argue with the evaluator that these are all normal childhood behaviours that she had when she was the same age.

one thing I hear a lot is "we want to automation but the higher-ups don't get it". well, I made this 10min quick overview for them specifically. let me break it down for you 🧵

I really like test automation. I just think it's neat! but it's useless if you don't have a build server. _and too many of you don't have a build server_ I know: you're busy, it's early in the project, silksong is out. I'll sort it for you, dm me. with indie-friendly pricing!

Andrew will absolutely help you achieve all these things, the asset tests alone will save many many hours of QA time and are very easy to set up

Sat down last night to beat Malenia (last thing I had to do to clear elden ring) and was prepared to be there all night but got her on the 3rd try. Fucking hell that was a good game

Furthermore, anyone “brilliant” would recognize that they’re more effective by not being an asshole, and adjust their behavior.

psst I'm going to do a proper Professional Thread on this but here's a blog post on asset tests in gamedev, which I think is a really important yet accessible type of automated test that often gets overlooked andrewfray.wordpress.com/2025/05/26/e...

Exploding barrels, and why your first test should be an Asset Test

Did the stupid quiz because I'm a millennial and it's our thing. I don't know 90% of these characters but 14 year old Andrew would be absolutely thrilled at that "Ender Wiggin" score (current age Andrew is just slightly concerned)

A ranking of what fictional characters I am like based on answers I gave to a silly quiz. Dexter Morgan is at the top with 87%, followed by a bunch of people I have not seen the thing they're from. Ender Wiggin from Enders Game is 79%

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

When first learning C++ I was given advice that I should ‘do as the ints do’. So now I make sure my code behaves slightly differently on different platforms.

Submitting my first homework to #drawabox and it's really cool to see my progress (left is one of the first homework, right is the most recent)

A picture with the title "Lesson 1: Ghosted Lines", it features a series of 2 dots on a page that are supposed to be connected by a line, very few of the lines start or stop at the dots they're meant to

A number of boxes at different orientations, in contrast to the first image, here most of the lines correctly start and stop at the dots that make up the corners of the box and the lines are much straighter

It is unironically an act of self care to filter, moderate or altogether tune out the bad news firehose along with its companion outrage and guilt trips. Remember to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others. You cannot pour from an empty glass.
