All ideas are my own, but you'd be crazy not to agree.

Thing I use is xcode/vs is visual debugging. I want to set breakpoints, step into and out of code. I don't ever want to use the command line. It's what has kept me from Linux. Friend says vscode will do this... I hope he is right. I'm not interested in goofy solutions... I want an IDE that works and doesn't become a hobby unto itself.

I finally got my linux machine working again after doing a BIOS reset/magic. A friend told me that VSCode has a good c++ compiler and debugger. Not as good as VS and Xcode, but close. Once I get to NZ I'll spend some time getting it working.

Going to be my last baseball game for a while.

I guess they don't want us to go in there, which makes me want to go in there even more.

I think the root is my problem is I'm generating floats from n-m. I needs it to be blazing fast and it can't use any libs because I need 100% consistency across platforms.

My pseudo-random number generator produces good results over time, but seems to have odd spikes and produces very "un-random" sequences. It's not a one-off, it's consistently wrong. Math is hard.

I don't get World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic. Cataclysm is where WoW started to go off the rails. What I really really want is a new WoW Classic expansion, not a rehash of everything that made us want Classic in the first place. After Lich King would have been the perfect place.

It's a good thing that Apple is really focused on the important macOS bugs.

I've never heard the term Horizontal Slice before, but it's exactly how I make games. Now that I can give it a catchy buzzword, maybe inventors/publishers will embrace it.

If you haven't binge-watched Tim's channel, I highly recommend it. No fancy graphics or pizzazz, but maybe the best game design YouTube channel I've seen. I've never met Tim Cain before, but I would love to.

Two books arrived today that I am very excited about, but for different reasons.

I wonder what training data the holodeck illegally scraped to make Dixon Hill.

Don't be deceived, those clown pack a punch and do seltzer water ranged attacks. I had AI turned off for the screen shot.

Anyone in Seattle want to buy a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. It might have priceless Monkey Island memorabilia stuck between the seats.

Screw it. If you kill a NPC they are dead. There are only a small handful of quests that are required so I just need to protect those NPCs. If you go around killing NPCs then it's less quests for you.

Implemented throwable bombs today. Lot of fun, but they can kill NPCs, which is interesting, but it can really screw over players. Maybe this is OK. Instead of dying NPCs run away and respawn later.
