Love how I've been doing game dev for so long that whenever somebody asks "how do you get started doing game dev?" I just don't have any real answer for them.

Me: "Hey BT you somehow still have the wrong address for me." BT rep: "SO, YOU'D LIKE TO UPGRADE??" Me: "No, I'd like you to fix my address in your system." BT rep: "BUT HOW ABOUT AN UPGRADE?"

Two weekends to get Exon back in shape after the latest round of pathfinding shenanigans? S-sure. (I am currently sitting on an as-yet unidentified infinite loop, wheeee.)

Our MDes Graduation Showcase will be on the 6th of August 17:00 to 19:30 at CodeBase, Edinburgh. We'll have student games, plus games from local developers! Alt controllers! Physical Puzzle Games! Nibbles if I get those sorted in time! Free tickets and deets here: buytickets.at/mdesingames/...

My head tells me that Babylon 5 is not as good as Farscape, but my heart sure has me mainlining two episodes a night.

TONIGHT from 6pm until late is GameDevEd at OX184! Come hang out with Game Developers of all stripes and experience levels and chat about video game development or maybe even something else :) #scotgamedev

What is Sephora and why is it a big deal that it has a new shop in Edinburgh? I keep seeing ads for it around town and the campaign is very "how do you do, fellow Scotspeople?"

I have played Two Worlds once before, but for some reason I did not blog about it back then. Playing it now I just can't understand why -- like all the best eurojank, Two Worlds is wobbly but makes some utterly fascinating choices. It is time to write this historic wrong.

Love to play a game of "does this API return radians or degrees? Let's spin the wheeeel!"

Ever since I played Xanadu Next, I keep instinctively pressing spacebar instead of I to open Exon's inventory. Spacebar is jump! It's always been jump! (It's configurable so it doesn't have to be... but the default keybindings are Mine.)

This is your yearly reminder that Pacific Rim is a banger.

I don't keep my nose in the air because I'm trying to look posh, I keep my nose in the air so my sunglasses don't slip off because they don't actually fit very well and suncream + sweat is a perfect lubricant. 😭

I think I've finally figured it out -- whatever clanker scraper keeps hounding my website, it's obsessed with posts and pages that have comments. Urgh.

Can't believe I came back from #GIGF with two _linkedin_ connections. So incredibly, wildly uncool. 😔

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace's Battle Droids and their cute little STAP hoverbikes? No? How about their Lego versions? Wait, come ba--

Dissimulation is at #GIGF and already puzzling a crowd! Can you come and help them escape the dungeon using a light up midi controller? On show today and tomorrow! #GameDev #IndieDev #PuzzleGame

Sticking to the shadows, I can manage -- it's the moving slowly that I have trouble with. 🥵🥷

That thing where they've released a teaser for Godzilla Minus Zero and it keeps coming up in your suggestions, but you don't want to watch it so you can go into the film clean when it arrives. 🙈
