let's never forget this is how the great Iwata handled the poor reception of Wii U, not with layoffs, but by cutting his own wage.

I've started working on a little tool for creating retro games.

It consists of a C-like language with automatic garbage collection, and a runtime with a 320x240 color indexed display.
Can be run from cmd line, or as a vscode extension, which also gives you symbolic debugging.

The whole thing is written in C++ and SDL2, so should (eventually) be able to export to a bunch of platforms including Web Assembly.

Apparently Epic just laid off 900 employees. That's a scary number of lives that have been upended. I'm so so sorry to anyone affected by this.

This affects apps built with #Electron.

#Google quietly corrects previously submitted disclosure for critical webp 0-day

Previous CVE submission failed to mention that thousands of apps were affected.

Researchers discover a cross-origin attack exploiting how modern GPUs compress images to let a malicious website in Chrome or Edge read pixels from another site.

Okay, for those tracking CVE-2023-5129, aka the #Libwebp fiasco, here's how to validate if your Electron app is vulnerable.

The patched version of Electron is v26.2.1. To confirm what version of Electron your app is using, you need to run strings against the executable. The version is in the app's User-Agent, so:

strings app.exe | grep "Electron/"

I made this cute speedpaint of a Wooloo yesterday!
It was mostly to wind down and it was fun.
