This is me at #gamequalityconf today! Come say hi if you want to talk about starting with automation on your project!

Feels appropriate to start this today

www.kickstarter.com/projects/who... Pretty tempted by this. It looks great & it's got such a pleasing looking action. It's compact & loopable compared with other logic marble things. But it also looks like a lovely toy if you just want to send some balls on a journey without getting too puzzley.

This is good shit: I solved the daily Clues by Sam (Jun 23rd 2025) in less than 7 minutes! ✅✅✅🟨🟨 cluesbysam.com

oh hey it's me! Reminder I'm scooting off to Develop in a few weeks for delivering my first talk at Develop (!!) and all to embrace chatting about our friend imposter syndrome on Wednesday at 5pm!

I'm going to be at #GameQualityForum in Lisbon next week! I want to meet teams who are already using #testautomation, or interested in hearing more about it, even if you're not up for a full consultation gig. dm me if you're up for chatting! #gamedev #automatedtesting

...and this is fine! "good" software eng practices are there to make code more maintainable and reusable _over time_. if time is short, there's not much opportunity for those good practices to pay off their investment. hacks near v1.0 are not hacks, they're objectively the correct choice.

TRON: Catalyst is out now store.steampowered.com/app/3025590/... (Consoles coming online shortly) It’s been a journey, we couldn’t be more excited to join you again on the Arq Grid.

Meet experienced and novice automated testers alike to discuss automation in gamedev, including getting started and legacy code with Studio Enso's Andrew Fray @tenpn.bsky.social‬ #DevelopConf

Classic Andrew cold take here but Midnight Mass is pretty good huh Lots of fun choices here, the Big Evil is almost secondary

this week!!!

New pots available now! www.roseschmits.com

So apparently they haven’t been Games Workshop stores for eight years, and I just don’t leave the house I guess

I’ve seen a few of these shops recently. Are they games workshop or not? Why does the branding look so placeholder?

This was peak

Your friday reminder that I help teams of all sizes ship faster by adding a pragmatic focused dollop of test automation. We should chat at @developconference.com through the scheduling link below! (or any time, DMs open)

I miss desert golf

Next week!

Me: the plotting is engaging but the dialogue is clunky and the characters unsubtle Also me: if anything happens to rocky I’ll kill everyone in this room and then myself
