A few days ago when I got myself a #Matrix account, people were complaining that you can't edit your own messages (as if you could on IRC). Well guess what: the feature just landed in #Riot.

That's open source. You're welcome.

Every C in “Pacific Ocean” is pronounced differently

So we started shipping WebRender in Firefox a few weeks ago. Completely new rendering engine written in rust, big departure from how we approached rendering before. We are gradually enabling it for different hardware/OS configurations and a couple of million users have it now.

What's kind of blowing my mind, having worked on 3 large-ish rewrites, is that since WebRender shipped, telemetry has reported less crashes per user with WebRender than without.

This is *not* how big rewrites usually go.

First toot! 🙌

Hi, I'm a gamedev making adventure games about magical ladies, cooking, gardening, and death. ⚰️

I created IGMC winner Corinne Cross's Dead & Breakfast and am currently working on Hermina Lumen is Only Human.

About to have an interview with BadMouse and Meia in just under 30 minutes about the oppression of Christians in the Middle East/Northern Africa. If you haven't seen the collab video they did, you have just enough time to watch it before our stream:

So Amir Rajan and I shipped A Dark Room, a game we rebuilt from scratch for the Nintendo Switch. After a hectic launch day, a few hours later in a quieter moment, I found myself realizing: holy shit, I shipped a console game I wrote from scratch.

I've been doing this for 20 years, and I _know_ this is a shitty metric, but goddamn, I felt totally legit yesterday.

Using the red and green channels of an image to store non-visual information (in this case, offsets) is a really great technique because it lets you paint data in Photoshop, but the downside is that it is the ugliest fucking thing in the world while you’re doing it

Si una vez a la semana tuvieras que hacer un trabajo utilitario (reparación, recolectar basura, limpieza, etc) pero a cambio el resto de la semana pudieras trabajar en lo que quisieras. Lo harías?

Unity, I love you but you *really* need to up your documentation game. It can be tragically vague in places even within the core but with all these new (often unfinished) components you’re adding it’s becoming a heck of a mess to navigate.
