Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

A quick look into the work our mappers do:
These pillars of some aqueducts start out as a blocky heightmap and is then decorated with lots of little details. That can take quite some time, and is done for all of these!
Game is #AlabasterDawn, play the demo on Steam!

"Xbox loves Game Devs"-socks
This is not the kind of entertainment they set out to create but it's nonetheless good entertainment. And I have the perfect socks for exactly this situation.
In 2021, the makers of the indie classic CrossCode got a grant from the German government to fund half of their next game. They thought it'd take ~$1.5 million and 3.5 years.
Things didn't go quite as planned. Here's the story behind the follow-up to a masterpiece: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Negative Alabaster Dawn Steam Review Review text: "another strong independent woman"
The Alabaster Dawn demo got a single negative Steam review so far. If you are bothered by the same issue, please keep in mind that this was eventually fixed in CrossCode. Hang in there, there's still hope, see store.steampowered.com/app/1585790/...
A tweet by Shogo Sakai, the composer of Smash Bros., Mother 3 and many more games about the music of the game "Alabaster Dawn", the new game by the creators of CrossCode: ้ณๆฅฝใใใจใฆใใๅใใๆใใพใใ ใใฉใณใน่ฟไปฃใฎใๅฐ่ฑกๆดพใใๅฐใ ใ ใใฐใใใๅไฝใงใใญ๏ผ ใฒใผใ ้ณๆฅฝใฎใๆ ผใใไธๆฎตใไธใใฃใใใใซๆใใพใ๏ผ ็งใใใใฎใฏใชใชใใฃใง้ณๆฅฝใใคใใใชใใจ๏ผใจ่ฅใๆญฃใใพใใใ Translation by Google: I feel a strong sense of harmony from the music. There's also a bit of modern French Impressionism. This is a wonderful masterpiece! It feels like the quality of game music has risen to a new level! I straightened up and thought to myself, "I have to create music of this quality too!"
Shogo Sakai, the composer of Smash Bros., Mother 3, and many more games, praising the quality of Alabaster Dawn's soundtrack makes me so incredibly proud of my friends who developed this game.
Congratulations to @radicalfishgames.com
I really couldn't be more proud of you.
The demo for the successor to my favorite game is out.

Go for it, using KallistiOS is easier than using Unity (to me).
D13 switching back to Fledge?
Peter makes a dashing game.
Can not confirm.
Mamma mia!
I doubt it, didn't see you there even though I spent most of my time at the Spotlight booth.

Hey, go with the times - if you want to work with hardware and software that actually works you'd have to get a C64 (that's what I did).
I've been replaying CrossCode (2018) and I think it's become one of my favorite games of all time. It's an SNES-style action-RPG inspired by Zelda and Secret of Mana set within a fictional MMORPG. Strong combat, good jokes, devious puzzles. If you haven't played it, you should
Alabaster Dawn just got a NEW TRAILER!
The public demo will release on Steam in September this year! #AlabasterDawn
