Loved that man. Having grown up watching him interview greats, my first appearance was impossibly thrilling for me. The genius of Parky was that unlike most people (and most of his guests, me included) he was always 100% himself. On camera and off. “Authentic” is the word I suppose. For one of the shows I was on with Robin Williams, a genius of unimaginable comic speed and brilliance. Now they’re both gone, damn it #parky

Have been made to notice that, not only for Ludum Dare this year, but also the #1 overall game in this GMTK game jam was made in @godotengine , as long as several of the top positions. Makes me proud that all the work contributors keep putting into the engine is allowing people to be so efficient with it and able to create so much content in such a short amount of time.

Can't want for the usual @akien 's thread with the top Godot games when he is back from vacation!

Liz Truss stares out of a window, calling everything she sees “left wing”. Including the window and the frame. She looks down at her shoes. They are also left wing. Even the right one. She smiles. Everything is left wing. That is why she failed. Nothing to do with her.

S'il vous plaît, peut-on cesser de dire « codage » au lieu de programmation ?

C'est un mauvais anglicisme.

Doomsday clock has now advanced to to 90 Seconds to midnight: the closest it has ever been

This newsletter is about the planet, and I had planned to write this week about light topics, like walking in nature, discovering a rare small mushroom on my island, or about my cat Luna. But it's hard to escape the worrying news about our beautiful planet, so tonight, I just have a short update for you about the state of the planet.
