Things have been pretty quiet on my end lately in gopherspace and other online haunts. I have not been feeling too motivated in participating or showing up much. I have been a bit stuck.
Since I have been on leave since I tore my achilles, I have been taking it slow. Some times so slow that I feel stuck for days. Back in the cave, consumed by helplessness and hopelessness and just passing time, not being productive, staring off into space, staying up late, sleeping in late, watching bad tv...I did revisit some old depressing favorites, like The Deer Hunter and Leaving Las Vegas. I also spent some time in SDF Minecraft-land, which can be a good distraction and trick me into feeling "productive," even though now's not the time to be productive...but society says I need to be productive...duty now for the future, HA!
=> Unity and Runtime Fees: Reflecting on a Decade Making Games
I started playing video games in the 1980s, which should give you a decent guess as to my age. Maybe the first video game I remember playing was Smurfs on the Colecovision, which my dentist had cleverly set up in the waiting room. But I remember clearly the first time I wanted to actually make a game: I had sat down and started to play Bad Dudes for the NES. I was moving my muscley protagonist around the screen, beating the crap out of ninjas. I remember being amazed. This game was great! There were so many colours of ninjas! I wanted to make a game, too.
I've got some buns in the oven. Wait that came out wrong.
Sliderule has been a great project for throwing code together covering the basics of interacting with the small web without having to make product-level choices like UX design.

I got annoyed at the Gemini crowd because they don’t see any value in giving authors the chance to even specify a SINGLE COLOR, much less allow for inline images of any sort. The idea that even content meant to be read can be reduced to simple text saddens me almost as much as the use of video.
