@GridlockBen @MurraySomerwolf @GulliverTruffle @feline_dacat @tim_pinder Looks like we better get arranging another get together. It’s been far too long.
@MurraySomerwolf @GridlockBen @GulliverTruffle @feline_dacat @tim_pinder It’s just a small gathering of local game devs, mainly indie / hobbyists but some folks from the bigger companies come too. I look forward to meeting you!
Ugly sweaters were just added to #DontStarveTogether so I made some new outfits for Wigfrid 🙂 They even gave matching sweaters for the winter hats in the @klei store if you bought them
couple things my dudes: ✨ you can be excited for a thing releasing without saying that something else has "lost" 🎉 #PlayStation5 + #XboxSeriesX will both thrive this november regardless of your shitty takes 🥰 don't let negativity + competition live rent free in your brain

Been coding for ~14 years, here are my top 5 programming tips -Get a good chair -Get up and walk more often -Drink more water -Don’t sit hunched, raise your monitor/laptop monitor height -Know when to stop for the day *your code is gonna be much better
@Gamerboss @RareLtd Is that @GridlockBen queuing up for an ice cream? Didn’t know he was part of the awesome team at Rare. I hope you all enjoyed your whippys!
Arnold J Rimmer as lamp shades: A thread
Interesting that the Government is prepared to get MPs to vote on the same deal three maybe four times until it gets the answer it wants..but asking the people to vote again would appear to be a definite no....
"Commenting your code is like cleaning your bathroom - you never want to do it, but it really does create a more pleasant experience for you and your guests." - Ryan Campbell
Games studios - if more of you figured out your remote working strategies, you'd stand a much better chance of attracting world class talent when it becomes available. Tweets saying "we're hiring" = great. Tweets that can add "and you don't have to relocate your family" = better!
Happy #NationalDogDay from all the very good boys and girls at Team17!
A polite request. Please sign the #peoplesvote petition. Please persuade your friends to too. Don’t stand on the sidelines. Your passive support will help no one. Please get involved. This is your one chance to help prevent our country tumbling into the abyss of Brexit madness.
