I've seen that project hail mary a couple of times, and I liked it fine, but the way my friends go on about how good it makes them feel makes me suspect I'm in a deep anhedonic patch. Just a joyless old fart here.

There's a weird feeling when you get a good review where... Because it's a team effort you kinda feel like you can't claim that review reflects your contribution. It's a team effort and I can't count the number of thumbprints on the thingy that I'm vague posting about. 0.1/10 of it is mine tho.

I have listened to so many opinions this day 💆

Damn, nearly tho!

I still think about it.

The world will soon be such an optimist place. Or we all get blowed up, one of the two.

First day back at work was surprisingly good. Second day back and for no good reason I am down in the dumps. And I still have some more stuff to do that I promised. Getting work out of me is sometimes like getting blood from a stone and other times it's a flood from a... bone?

I don't draw often but when I do it's youtube essayist explaining payola to a new generation.

Holy shit I just figured out how to two screen without fucking up my neck

I joined linked in again because my dad wanted a follower. Now it's recommending me contacts from my past. I hope I can get banned for being unprofessional on there.

If there's one thing I hate more than working myself into burnout it's taking holiday to reflect on my life. Miserable.

During holidays I am mostly fighting thinking about the things I have to do when I'm not on holiday. Rest gives way to some masochistic self haranging. Life would be so sweet if I gave up caring.

The city council wouldn't let me speak after I prepared a testimony and showed up early, so I've booked a media appearance every day this week to let Atlanta know that there is absolutely no accountability for grown men viewing private cameras of kids without authorization or consent.

HEY LADY! YOU CALL HIM DR JESUS!

I agree

I feel simultaneously stupid for never connecting this, and smart for realizing this on myself but, the way helicopters pitch and roll is to tilt their blades with respect to the front of the helicopter. I. E. The angle of the blades isn't purely how much thrust there is youtu.be/-kWhNi-MZAM?...

Watching "Threads" for the 156th time. Sometimes you just gotta unwind.

Do marketing people not understand that using AI is tickling not just the uncanny valley, but also the "you guys are obviously scammers" valley to the south?

If I were in charge of Star Trek... gosh! Wouldn’t that be something

Just 3 days ago, the story broke showing Flock employees viewing camera feeds in a private community center, including but not limited to the children's gymnastics room and daycare areas.

Together at last! The creator of brink, and the creator of bioshock/dance central! Have there ever been two so as this?

Ok. I am on some hols! ...Except for the one bug I had to fix. And the general concern that something might break while I'm away. Or someone reads my code with disgust and everyone starts laughing at me behind my back or is otherwise very disappointed at me. Eventually I will not think about that.

I genuinely don't think I'm ever going to shift the feeling that I'm not good enough at this job to deserve it. Like I'm about to be fired at any moment. This is in spite of managing to overhaul a very long in the tooth system with minimal disruption. This is just how I am. No point fighting it.

I like the new train route but... I got home on my ebike within 40 minutes (was listening to Armando Iannucci podcast which was that length). The train + bus route is more like an hour door to door. Still beats busses which were anywhere from 50 to 90 minutes.

Just because he backed off shouldn’t stop efforts to remove him. He is dangerous and cannot be left in power.

Ah. So it was a TACO situation then. Phew. I called it but I'm never certain. Definitely not expecting cease fire to last long.

If you see an obvious bot account online, simply reply with a random ip address from Eurasia. You don't need to do any real hacking but it's often enough to make their heart skip a beat.

Great timing really. Tomorrow it's curtains for me.

Just hoping for TACO today. And some adults to do their job.

Well. I'm off to work to distract myself from how futile everything feels right now. Gotta get my camera refactor in before we all disappear in a photonic flash! A life well lived!!!

Wonder if the crew of Artemis II will have anything to return to at this rate.

Space Piss!!! In space, everyone can see your piss. The Orion? Or The Ur-rine? Oh myyy goddd. I've got more... Haha. Hmm. Or do I? Hmm. youtube.com/shorts/wHGnK...

This came up on my feed. I genuinely don't remember recording it. If I had to guess, early experience with edibles, and I opened the fridge and thought my Ketchup bottle turned Russian.

The biggest thing that makes me want to ignore gamer discourse is their idea of studio pedigree. People fixate on personalities and don't get that it's theseus's ship. And even if you have exactly the same team, those people are not the same people as they were when they made your favorite game.

"I woke up and it was all a dream." has been replaced with "But it was a simulation the entire time." Whats next? Turns out we are all just aliens in the future experiencing the 4D recording of someone else's entire life?

You're allowed to change the order and say BLTGQ but the problem is it makes you want to go WHSmiths for a meal deal and a 90s era lads mag.

Over the toughest parts of this refactor. Actually excited for next week. Buzzing with ideas. That our fans will inevitably get annoyed by lol.

The developer of Peak is asking players to be a little more gracious to the studio when requesting updates, saying, "Neither us or [co-developer] Aggro Crab are live service studios, any update is a bonus not a right." https://bit.ly/4v2uh3T

I do not trust Pete Holmes at all. I hate that he likes street fighter. I wish he would not draw attention to that interest. It doesn't need someone in the mainstream to draw attention to it. It is meant to be a shameful passtime. I wish he would stop appearing in clips and adverts for mind juice.

Been working on a refactor for about the last 3 weeks. Lot of discoveries. Lot of trying to cram about 8 years of previous work into some sort of unifying philosophy. My brain really hurts, but it's coming together. My *best* outcome is that no-one notices any difference. But from there, I can jam.

Well, it happened. We now live in a world where you occasionally need to reboot your toilet seat. This morning I was like "Don't give me an error code you piece of crapper, just clean my ass."

I fuckin hate my brain some days, ahrgh. (slept bad. Couldn't concentrate properly after lunch. Got stressed out about it. Started beating myself up. Cannot stop being a dick head to myself. Slowly getting better at noticing it though.)

Just saw the Heman trailer. Fond memories of childhood rush back. But then realize that they did an A Team remake recently and some boomer probably felt the same about that. Am I the boomer now?

Holy shit I'm just trying to get to judkins Park. Missed the 48 by a gnats chuff. Driver wouldn't let me on. So I walk down. Look at the time. Figure I can get a coffee. Coffee took longer than normal. Missed one. Walk down further. Says 4 route passes by too. So I wait at a stop.

I don't want to back slide into my annoying atheist era but what the fuuuuuuck who gives a shiiiiiit the catholic church has so much fucking money and could fix so much stuff and they just pontificate instead.
