okay i actually love this game? i’m not finished part one yet, but it might be one of my favourite games ever depending on how it goes. i just love the character interaction vibes, and the filming and editing stuff 😌

Lost Records Bloom & Rage seems to actually have decent motion sickness accessibility settings 👀

so it turns out Wikipedia's page on MC Modding mentions WorldEdit, but i find it actually so funny that the only other entry in the section is on malware the two Minecraft mods: WorldEdit and Malware

i was just debugging why something was 100000x slower in my production Vite build than my dev server, and it turns out it was the polyfill for private class properties??? honestly shocked that such an innocuous feature's polyfills can tank performance like that

one of my biggest pet peeves around software changelogs, is when a release that had prior beta or alpha versions doesn’t list changes since the last stable. it means you need to then go through every alpha/beta release and decipher whether each change is relevant or not

The Open Source Pledge is one of the most exciting initiatives for open source I've seen in years. Open source funding today is inherently broken. Do the right thing, support open source. @opensourcepledge.com

someone suggested the other day that i write up a post about my experiences self-publishing an eBook, from the perspective of a software engineer. so i did 😊 this article goes over the process i took, and my thoughts around the various steps, madelinemiller.dev/blog/ebook-p...

a fair few people have requested an offline-viewable version of my 2020 post that outlined the first decade of Minecraft Multiplayer's history- so i spent some time turning it into a free eBook! 😅 madelinemiller.dev/blog/decade-... books.apple.com/us/book/id67... | play.google.com/store/books/...

i've made a post that covers how to read Minecraft Spark reports, similar to my one on Timings from a few years ago :) given Spark has replaced Timings in Paper now, it felt like a good time to write one on it 😅 madelinemiller.dev/blog/spark-p...

gotta say, looking back on some older stuff i’ve written, i’ve gotten significantly better at writing since i stopped using Grammarly. i feel it made me focus on what made it happy, rather than what made sense to me and flowed well, stopping me building up my own writing skill

something i’ve noticed over the past few years (mostly since tiktok creators got really big), is that “content creator” is now a much smaller term. like i used to get called a content creator due to my mods/plugins and writing, but now the term seems to mean video creator specifically

i did some investigations into the speed of block lookups on a few Minecraft versions over time, and wrote an article about it- how much slower it got actually shocked me 👀 i knew it got slower but didn't realise it was this much slower madelinemiller.dev/blog/minecra...

i've just written an article on motion sickness accessibility in video games. i feel like i'm on an article writing streak right now lol, two in a week! madelinemiller.dev/blog/motion-...

i've written an article on the JavaScript packages that i'll be watching in 2025, and which ones i'm intending to leave behind. check it out here! madelinemiller.dev/blog/2024-ja...

every so often i get DMs from kids pretending to be famous/"important" people thinking it gets them priority support with WorldEdit/WorldGuard/etc (eg, university professors, Donald Trump, president of Argentina comes up a lot too, etc) first time getting Santa tho lol

i've just gone through so many of my articles to update them due to the Paper hard fork. if anyone does happen to find something i missed, please let me know 😅
