He also blogged the development of tumbleweed park
Vampire Survivors was designed by a guy whose job was coding slot machines.
For all the bad news percolating in the world at the moment these are some of the good notes I choose to dwell on.
I wish Ron Gilbert well in contributing to this epsilon in the gaming world.
This is very amusing to me. Gilbert must be quite rich [0], yet there is a very large difference between his wealth and the wealth of a billionaire. In fact, the wealth inequality between himself and Bezos, for example, is waaay higher than between a poor person and himself. Perhaps why he identifies more with the latter. But where is the more important disparity? It's between a poor person and himself.
He seems to feel like he is not rich. Or does he want to be eaten? Everyone but 1 person can complain about the richer people. But at the end of the day, low absolute wealth and not the degree of difference is what matters.
[0] - There is not public information on his personal wealth but he was a titan in the industry for 40 years and founded a company that sold for $76M. From that deal salary, royalties and with a moderate amount of interest, he's probably easily at $10-30M. That, or perhaps he's terrible with money.
This seems spectacularly obvious. No retrospect required.
