@gitlab.com what's with all the memory usage?? Do you load every repo all at once for optimal retrieval???

In all seriousness, Love your work. It's great that I can self host my personal source control, even if it might mean buying ...more... #RAM ....<gulp>

I asked #ClaudeCode to help me figure out how to embed youtube videos in markdown/MDX.

It gave me sample code and a sample video.

The sample video was Rick Astley...

I just got rickrolled by an #AI.... thanks for that @anthropic.com ......

Hey #Vancouver (and anyone willing to travel to the city) if I found a cool place to host the Rocket & Raygun Awards would you come and help us celebrate the best in games from 2025? LMK!

Yes! 2026! It was made initially in a bespoke game engine and I decided to port it to Unity so that it'd be easier to maintain. Most of the code is Unity-like already so it wouldn't take a ton of time, but just requires some focus.
Thank you for the encouragement! Glad to know ppl enjoy it still!

Hi @kanaratron.bsky.social!

Frequency Sync gamifies music visualizers as 3D puzzles in #VR! There's a demo out now for #SteamNextFest!

Would love to hear what you all think about it!

Hi @jesseguarascia.com! I'm a Canadian dev who put a demo of Frequency Sync out for #SteamNextFest.

It's a combination of gamified music visualizers that combined with 3D shape puzzles.

Would love to hear what you all think about it!

Frequency Sync // Steam Next Fest Trailer
Frequency Sync // Steam Next Fest Trailer YouTube video by Virtex Edge Design

Frequency Sync demo is out now for #SteamNextFest!

A few years back I made a #gamejam game that gamified music visualizers as 3D puzzles.

Tried it on mobile but couldn't get the UX right and left it.

Turns out It's a lot more fun in VR ๐Ÿ˜
