Rebecca "Burger Becky" Heineman passed away yesterday. If you don't know her, she was the first video game champion in 1980, then immediately went to work programming video games because she got so good at them by literally disassembling to find out how they worked.
She was a major inspiration for me not only for being a trans woman in the industry but because of the amazing technical feats squeezing performance out of every bit of hardware she could touch.
My heart will ache for a good while.
The last toast from the legend herself:
Valhalla really really reeked of beer, but Jennell seems happy
The other angels are tired of me saying “fight for the other users” while throwing my halo around
I leave it up to you to go to lindken.com and look up Jennell Jacques, now look at her job description, goddess of technology… and fuck cancer, fuck it in the ass
- Becky
@Angela thinking about how the same bungie collaborated with nerf to make a dart blaster styled after one of the ingame weapons in destiny, only for it to come out that the entire printed artwork on the sides of it was wholesale taken from someone's fanart without credit, and now there's potentially tens of thousands of physical nerf blasters out there printed with stolen art
move your left thumb in one of eight directions on the left thumbpad to select between four different weapon firegroups or deploy from four different countermeasure systems, e.g. flares, chaff, etc, move your right thumb on the other touchpad to change the area around your mech where the most energy is put into the shields to quickly respond to and reinforce against incoming fire.

the LA dodgers are going to go to the white house, why wouldn't they. doesn't really matter what the players want, it would damage mark walter's prospects of more government contracts if he snubbed trump, gotta wonder if any of the south american players for the dodgers are scared of being dragged off by ICE before they get there, it's sad that they're playing for a fascist organisation like this #baseball #mlb
so here's a fun fact, mark walter, owner of the LA dodgers, holds significant investments in a company that runs concentration ca...uh, private prisons used by ICE, just a fun little tidbit for everyone there, sure is great the dodgers won the world series, wonder what they'll say to the white house visit invitation #baseball #mlb
i've been working on adding sound to my #PicoCalc Lua firmware
the last addition was time base correction, calculate how long since the last buffer fill the next play calls happened to delay the inclusion in the buffer, that way the pacing of the sound matches the pacing of when the calls were made rather than the pacing of the start of each buffer repeat
