I was 7
It was 87
It was an apple ][e
It's never stopped since

Today I had my hands inside a Dell PowerEdge T610 that started stopping unexpectedly. Damn the CMOS battery holder on those is A) tight hole on the battery B) loosely held to the mainboard and C) tucked in a nearly inaccessible spot. 🖕Dell.

So, to summarize my TED talk: Not Even Once!

Side note: really enjoying #pico8 this last week 😉

Seemed a bit unfair that the wee prisoners can get stuck, even on the very early levels of Oust so I thought I'd get them behind some fences. For their own good.
It means you're only likely to see what my gf calls "the saddest four pixels ever" later on when things get nastier in general.

Fixed the “corner push” glitch in my #LD57 game... turns out it was indeed caused by my shitty screen shake!
Big thanks to a kind soul in the community who told me what the glitch was called, reviewed my messy code, and helped me squash it

Lost quite a bit of time, but now I finally hope to build the level and add some visual sugar on top of this glorious pile of spaghetti code.
