On the topic of streaming and Slush... I am delighted to be hosting an afternoon session delving into cloud gaming for @Polystream and featuring fantastic speakers. If you’re at @SlushHQ next week check it out. polystream.com/fast-forward-…

Rather than asking old tech to do new tricks, @Polystream reimagined the entire process and developed a solution for cloud gaming. Learn about the streaming technology: intel.ly/2mkdBaw #gamedev

10x cat If you come across this rare breed of cat, snap pics. If you have a 10x cat as part of your team, you increase the odds of happiness. OK, here is a tough question. How do you spot a 10x cat?

If C++ = Meccano and C# = Lego, then Javascript = PlayDoh, the fun one! Can get messy though...
avoided javascript for the longest time after unpleasant experiences with it years ago, but 2019-era Node/Chrome/Webgl is twisting my arm too hard. Looks like Typescript + Webstorm is the way to fly for proper tooling (autocomplete, error highlight & refactoring); kicking tires

My granddad was an avid nazi until his death in the early 90s. He was a small town banker, volunteered in 40 and became a staff sergeant in the Wehrmacht. He was leading a so called "anti partisan" unit at the Eastern Front, participated in the capture of Kiew.

Space Force: I keep thinking of one of those old Saturday morning shows with puppets n shit. Retweet ONLY if you think this is possibly the dumbest idea out of Trump's admittedly dumb head so far.
