I'm hoping to release Dungeon Cell this year. It's a handmade village building game.
A pixel art village with two houses, two villagers, and a brick road connecting them.

Looks like Hive is gonna be the first 40K book I have to buy from the Kindle store cause GW stopped selling DRM-free ePubs.

For Dungeon Cell I'm targeting 60fps for debug builds. This means performance in release mode will be great. It also gives you the best debugging experience when you need to drill down on a perf issue.

Saying the "Nth Century" is always a little confusing. It's more clear to say the starting year. bad: "The early 17th Century." good: "The early 1600s."

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.
[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation

to me

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

I’m sure this has been said many times before but it’s so sad you’re locked out of all the cool Pokémon until after you beat the game. Collecting is fun but I wanna win with my faves.

Is the ternary a failed feature if I have to look up the syntax every time? Ternary syntax slides out of my brain faster than a lubed up hot dog across the ice.

when you're in thick of finishing a game you fantasize about the next game project and right now that's mostly centered around choosing a language with a fast compile time

Apple has many issues with their software. The most infuriating being Apple Music. Syncing music to your phone is a guaranteed fail operation. It never works correctly. Last time it was duplicate files, I guess this time it's broken album art. I just want to sync files, not a Music subscriber.
Four albums in the Apple Music app, all of which have the wrong album art.

Xcode's profiling/instrument tools are great. So easy to get a quick flame graph to see where you're spending your frame budget.
