It’s the time of year when I can go out for 90 minute walk at 7pm, absolutely beautiful in the woods this evening, so beautiful in fact I didn’t think to stop and take a photo so you’ll just have to believe me.
You know things are bad when you find yourself reading the source code for NetworkManager 8 hours into the work day.
@marioguzman @eval every now and then someone reminds me what Aqua era macOS looked like and I lament the loss of both the playfulness and the functionality.
When did become ok to use the phrase “up to 100% [positive aspect]” in advertising? Could be 100%. Could be 0%. Who knows?

Back on my learning to make games bullshit, now in Godot rather than Unreal Engine because I am not a AAA game studio. I’ve decided to do a bunch of super simple ones just to build up confidence and form some muscle memory, resulting in a version of Flappy Bird I made in two hours this evening.

A decade or two later here we are, with everyone needing a tank to not be immediately crushed when someone stops paying attention.
