Finally got round to watching Tenet this evening, my head hurts now, and I may have to watch it another twelve times to try and straighten out the timeline.

Pet death

@oddly @Edent I believe if you’re doing Google Drive sync to a computer there are a bunch of .gdoc files in there but they’re effectively just shortcuts which open Google Docs on the selected document.

This is what the iOS contact permission prompt should be

Game development continues.

Speed runners commentating their attempts to play Mario Maker while gifs bounce around obstructing them as if they’re single handedly delivering world peace.

@misty @marioguzman I miss when user interfaces had character, Aqua was the peak by not only being beautiful but also really well thought through.

@jhwgh1968 @gsuberland I’ve heard the standard in industry now is to spend the same amount development cost on marketing.

Once again I let a bunch of boring life admin stack up because it was going to take forever. Sat down to tackle it this morning and was done in an hour.

@gsuberland Amazon: We very quietly knocked the door then left your parcel on the step in pouring rain.

I have found the thing which makes an M1 Pro MacBook warm up. That thing is Unreal editor.

@LilahTovMoon I really want to see these dialogs challenged in court, GDPR requires informed consent and so many of them do their very best to ensure you either have no idea what’s happening or way too much information to process.

@iris @IanDSmith @gsuberland my old job was solely Hermetian tasks, with the added fun that no one wanted the messages I had to bring.

@anon_opin classic driver opinion there. “Anything that isn’t a car should be killed if it gets in the way of my car.”

Disappointingly this Saturday is followed by Thursday.

“Alight here for Business & IP Centre”. Thanks bus, but I’d rather be kicked firmly in the nads.

Thanks Uber for the least surprising fact ever. In a continent with a population of 442 million, over *one million* of them order food every week.

Super excited for the game, local multiplayer, the core game loop I think is pretty solid for quick bursts and there’s so much scope for feature creep. Did you know Unreal Engine can accept DMX inputs and control game parameters with them?

I’ve decided to learn to make a game. Got the core of a character who can run around picking up cubes down in three hours or so the other day from previous experience, then spent a good six hours on and off to make player two spawn. The answer was a 0.2s sleep before activating input.

@fesshole next post on Fesshole. “I’m a priest, when I get bored I say arseholes instead of our souls. Nobody has noticed.”

@jonty transferring a Minecraft world from an XBox to a real computer. Despite both being linked to the same XBox account *which supports save sync for every other game* this requires signing up for a free trial of a multiplayer server, uploading the world to that, downloading it from there to the computer, and then trying to work out how to cancel the damn trial.

In the original ending to T2, John and Sarah Connor prevent the rise of Skynet by hacking into Cyberdyne Systems and reducing the revenue on the balance sheet from $100billion to $95billion, but this didn't go over well with test audiences for some reason

Either that or recipes can normalise on 175c being the standard oven temperature.

Petition for all ovens to have 180c labelled rather than having to guess where it lies between 175 and 200.
