I'm an aspiring software developer that likes to tinker with stuff made of bits. In particular I seem to be doing things with:

* Python (backend and desktop)
* Go (multiplayer game servers)
* Unity
* native iOS and Android (various apps and games)
* embedded things with C/C++
* hobby game dev

If needed I can also wield Java. I don't do Windows or web cruft.

I haven't done or worked on anything you've ever heard of though.

“Sailing boat rescued by the Götheborg”

03 May 2023

“Imagine losing your rudder out at sea and sending out a distress call. And then the largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship in the world comes to your rescue.“

“The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the XVIII century.”

Sailing boat rescued by the Götheborg | Götheborg of Sweden

Imagine losing your rudder out at sea and sending out a distress call. And then the largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship in the world comes to your rescue. Or in the words of the sailors on the sailing boat: "This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it?"

Genuinely wondering, do anyone actually see my mastosts? I mean mastodon posts. Or, only those who follow see my posts / replies?

So, big news yesterday. I'm appalled at the impact this will have on the #Unity ecosystem, and #gamedev at large. There's just no way this can lead to anything good for anyone.

#GodotEngine is getting a lot of positive attention in reaction, so I want to address a few things. 🧵
