Video games developer, writer, composer.

I wrote Chimera and Code is Just.

I built PlayStation Strategic Content.

I podcast at Remaster on Relay FM.

@AndrewPappas @viticci @imyke THAT was it, thank you! I’ve seen so many of late. I already have an Anbernic RG350M and RG351V, but OLED is next for me I think.

I replaced Ubuntu with Pop! OS and am mightily impressed. I could be spending a lot more time on Linux, but what keeps bringing me back to the Mac are the following brilliant apps:

- Day One
- Drafts
- Bike
- ivory

And I think that's it really.

TheCosmic tiling desktop manager (if that's what it's called) is so good. The OS as a whole just seems less attention-seeking, if that makes any sense.

@intrepidhero thanks Brian! I went with Ubuntu. I managed to get it set up just fine.
@intrepidhero
Thanks Brian, I was thinking about C++ with SDL2 for the most part, then something for editing 2D pixel art.
If you’re doing #gamedev on #linux , which distro are you using? Which tools are necessary and useful?
@cabel
Thank you Cabel. So, physically larger, but not the glorious, pin-sharp resolution of the Playdate.
Does anyone happen to know if a larger version of the Sharp Memory LCD screen is available than the gorgeous one used in the Playdate?
@ravi
Thanks, I used to use it and forgot. Back on now!

Long shot, but has anyone got their hands on a Daylight DC1 yet? I'd love to know if that display is as good as they're claiming it to be.

I currently use an Onyx Boox with external keyboard for some writing, but the response time is slow. I love the display though, so if the DC1 is as good, then I'm likely in.

On the rare occasion I want to listen to a podcast on an Android device, I would have used Google's app, but like many of their products and services, it's disappearing. The suggested alternative isn't palatable.

I won't use YouTube Music for podcasts, just as I don't use Spotify. Podcasts aren't subject to the same centralising forces as music, for now, and treating them like music is dumb.

I'll stick with @overcastfm on iPhone.
