Three Thirty
I have this thing for blue neon. I just love it. This clock was a gift from my wife over a year ago.
Last month the clock part stopped keeping proper time. The blue light still lights up, but it runs at an uneven speed, sometimes moving properly and sometimes going far too slow. I have no idea why. My love for blue neon is such that I held onto it despite the fact that a slow clock is worse than no clock at all.
Recently I relented and took it down. So sad.
This makes me think of all the clocks I’ve owned over the years. We have a clock over our kitchen sink that has clearly been there for decades. There is one in our living room that is your typical $9.99 Wal-Mart clock. My wife and I got it about the time we were married (nine years ago) and it still keeps great time.
This clock cost more than both of them combined, and it broke after less than two years.
Stupid novelty clocks.
Revisiting a Dead Engine
I wanted to take the file format of a late 90s shooter and read it in modern-day Unity. This is the result.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
The Terrible New Thing
Fidget spinners are ruining education! We need to... oh, never mind the fad is over. This is not the first time we've had a dumb moral panic.
Self-Balancing Gameplay
There's a wonderful way to balance difficulty in RPGs, and designers try to prevent it. For some reason.

i have a clock that runs off of water, and it keeps great time.
Good statement made… “A slow clock is worse than no clock at all”!!!
You’d love my computer. My cousin built it for me (as I have no knowledge of the hardware market), and the thing has so many blue neon lights it can single-handedly light up my room.
