A couple of months ago I was driving down a country road and came to a traffic light.

Every now and then someone tells me that their child loves video games and wants to get into the game industry, then asks me how they do it.

When I was a kid my dad was always doing home improvements.

You know when people spend 2 years making games and when they release, they don't sell anything, so they stop selling it and throw it all in then bin..

I spent fucking ages coding a whole cloud workflow to process videos on Azure Media Services.

You know what's weird.

The handshake game is something that lives in my head as a reminder of how small the world is and how we're all connected within the brief time we're on it together.

When I was in school, in the mid 90s, I got on the internet for the first time.

I thought it would die down, but I'm still getting a ton of dms, voicemails, emails and actual physical hand written letters about this.. so I thought it would be a good idea to present evidence to shut people up.

Something we've come across a few times at Facepunch, especially with artists, is that they want to use some software, and it seems useful so we pay for it.

I like doing scopes in c#.

Yesterday Unity announced that starting next year, all games that use their engine will pay a tax per user install.

We moved offices this year.

We just got back from a two week family holiday in Mexico.

When I was a kid, making websites, you'd find some library that you wanted to use, then you'd either copy the .js file to your website or use a cdn host and add the .js to a <script src>on your webpage and you'd be using it.

We have left out Bloxwich office and moved to Birmingham.

We went to Finland just before Christmas.

I haven't done a mailbag for a long time, but this is a common enough question that I thought I'd explain my thinking here.

I did some reading on holiday.

We're plan to move our office soon.

I like Blazor, and I like Razor and ASP stuff.

Why did he need a share in the company to access the patent, aren't they all open and freely available?

You know, I rag on Unity a lot.

I got a 3D printer.

You might remember Foszor from the GMod community a while back.

Quick follow up to My Tesla Broke.

I've had my Model 3 for less than 6 months, and I've put about 500 miles on it.

Having used Steam nearly every day for 19 years, both as a developer and a gamer, there are a few things that annoy me.

Game Idea Every game starts with an idea.

A big part of s&box is calling c++ from c#, and calling c# from c++.

I've had a frozen shoulder for about a year.

There’s something that has started happening over the last few years that annoys the shit out of me.

When we advertise for jobs we get a lot of applications.

Someone asked me a while back where I get my motivation.

Me and Sarah got married this year, finally, after 11 years together.

Palm Spings Like groundhog day.

Let me preface this by saying that the house is awesome.

About 6 years ago, just before Alex was born we decided that our house wasn’t big enough.

A couple of times we’ve been watching a movie in my cinema and the sound has cut out.

They hurt when I stand up after sitting down for a while or when I get out of bed.

Developer QOL When I added Lua to Garry’s Mod my intention wasn’t primarily to make things moddable.

It’s weird seeing people struggle with being home all the time.

So I haven’t finished HLA yet.

We’re having a problem with our Rust HDRP branch where it imports forever.

Alex is 6 years old.

I love the idea of Blazor.

In a previous post I talked about Control4 and mentioned that you can jailbreak it.

We have a pretty neat system for Benchmarking Rust.

Control4 came out with a new modern looking remote..
