Moved to @crussel!

Game dev since 2004, currently working on a casual iOS game about archaeology. A game that really needs a name!

Posts about #gamedev, #archaeology, #caturday, and a fair amount of ill-advised top-of-mind nonsense.

I can’t open the PC bits cupboard without the site manager performing an inspection. She always declares everything in order, which is funny because I can never find the USB cable I want #CatsOfMastodon
Found myself having to tell some younger people about Paul Daniels’ most heinous crime. #SomeThingsBestLeftForgotten #AndYetIRemindedYou #YoureWelcome
Anyway Nintendo were way ahead on hyper-real AI models years ago #GlassesGlasses

That was a fun one: $client said they could no longer select the transparent bound actors used in level generation - "I click on them and it just selects something else". They only saw the issue on PC, their Mac was fine. Seemed like it must be an editor pref, but we couldn't find anything obvious.

Because it's in the settings dropdown!

At some point they'd accidentally hit 'T'.

It currently looks like this (ignore the rather broken digging SFX 😬)

I am genuinely baffled by these notifications. I launched Solitaire *once*, to see if it was still there in Win11, and it’s begged me to play it multiple times since.

Nothing at Microsoft happens on a whim. This “feature” will have been discussed at multiple levels of management over several months, and at no point did anyone go “do we *need* to remind people who have run Solitaire that Solitaire exists?”

She also knitted a little mousey for Dora ❤️ It has so far remained surprisingly intact!

Messing with landscape textures in Unreal got accidentally seasonal today (well, almost). Minty Christmas pudding, anyone? 😋
Fun fact: the guy that makes Microsoft Solitaire gets paid in cocaine
