Julian LeFay, a programmer and engineer with a storied games industry career, has died at the age of 59 years old. The news was announced by OnceLost Games, a company LeFay co-founded, following last week’s news that he would be retiring “to live his final moments surrounded by his loved ones.” LeFay had such a…
Dan Marshall was 24 when he picked up C++ for Dummies. “I’ve left this too late,” he thought. “I’m too past-it to be learning a new skill like programming. Damn it, why didn’t I learn this in school?” Two decades on, Marshall has led the development of no fewer than three games with 80+% review…

The case company delayed orders and diverted shipments to other regions, with some prices for stocked products increasing for US customers. Well, that’s mostly…
I’m at a bustling house party when I notice another guest standing completely still in a corner, not engaging with the crowd. I do what everyone does in a situation like this: I walk up behind them, point a revolver at the back of their head from a distance of roughly one millimeter, and pull…
