way excited for a simplified GPU library that @flibitijibibo and co worked on. will feel good to not have to write a bunch of boilerplate for small projects again.
I can't believe I finally get to say this. SDL3 is officially ABI locked!
We will _add_ new things but not _change_ or _remove_ what's there, starting right now. Which means it's safe to start migrating your games to it, starting today!

these posts are so annoying. the defining characteristic of T1 diabetes is that your body's immune system is actively killing the cells that produce insulin. islet cell transplantation has been a thing, the problem is the body is killing them off.

This strange tweet got >25k retweets. The author sounds confident, and he uses lots of hex and jargon. There are red flags though... like what's up with the DEI stuff, and who says "stack trace dump"? Let's take a closer look... 🧵1/n
fuck offfffff. what is the point of a platform holder valued at THREE TRILLION DOLLARS if you're just going to shut down studios shortly after acquiring them?
NEW:
- Xbox still isn't done cutting costs, sent voluntary buyout offers to some Zenimax staff
- Why were Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks closed? Bad timing, perhaps
- Activision purchase has ramped up scrutiny on Xbox

Today's newsletter is the story of how Prabhakar Raghavan, Google's former head of ads - led a coup so that he could run Google Search, and how an email chain from 2019 began a cascade of events that would lead to him running it into the ground.

i saw this shirt from a distance when i was a kid and was obsessed with it. i thought cronic was a new hedgehog they introduced in some game i haven't seen yet.
ALT 90s vintage shirt that has a depiction of Sonic the Hedgehog as "Cronic the Hemp Hog" where he's green instead of blue, spikes resembling marijuana leaves and grabbing its own crotch while smoking a blunt

They have launched a SECOND lawsuit against me.
If this was intended to wear me down even further, I won’t let it. Hopefully it will all be over soon- but I need your help again.
Thank you for sharing/donating, I couldn't do this without you x
