Nah, that’s valid. I loved it to bits, myself, but what made me love it was how adroitly I felt it curated feelings of dread and sincere awe as I explored deeper and deeper; and that’s highly subjective. I hope you’re finding as much joy in your own fave games as I did in Subnautica!

Oh man flying to planets manually is TOUGH, the physics engine is just realistic enough that doing it manually takes more skill than I care to develop.

Just use the autopilot. Yes, you have to be careful about not starting it when there’s something else between you and your destination. But for real, use the autopilot.

Mind you, you are still going to die a lot because the universe is as amazing as it is unforgiving. You WILL die in that one specific way that will be your own damn fault because everyone does sooner or later. It’s okay, and it’s fun.

And it’s very, very worth it.

I mean, he still got Heaven Sent. One of the strongest eps in the entire series.

Well! Thank you for being a good sport about it. :)

Considering it’s a reference to Monty Python’s Life of Brian, I’m gonna go with yes.

Yeah, definitely the vibe has changed. It’s kind of sad.

Normalisation absolutely helps, yes. All the monstrous GOP rhetoric hinges on othering trans folks. An emoji is a tiny step, but every little helps. Unironically thank you for asking, that was actually an excellent and important question.

Tech workers are not the same thing as tech bros. Musk is a tech bro and would be incapable of working as a tech worker.

Hiring freeze? I had an Apple recruiter reach out to me just a couple weeks ago. That’s in EU though. They weren’t happy that I was not willing to relocate for them.

Moovie night.

Could we, like, leave the clickbait headlines to reddit? Thanks. The queer.af admins just decided – wisely – not to renew the domain considering who the fee would go to.

Google has literally been reporting billions of net profit every quarter.

This is about appeasing shareholders. The capitalist class hates that tech employees have been able to command decent salaries and has been striving to push back for a while now.

I mean, you have people in your life who actually like you. I don’t know if the same can be said of Trump.

How do you bake it? The crust looks incredible.

Looks like an encoding problem, not a font problem. Make sure your terminal is configured to use the UTF-8 encoding.

I am in denial.

One might surmise that the people doing the electing and the people doing the protesting are not in fact the same people.

I was pleasantly taken by surprise when I got around to playing Angels With Scaly Wings. The title and the trailer had given me a very incorrect idea of what the game was going to be like. Once past the somewhat contrived set up, it ended up being a very well paced sci fi story that keeps throwing curve balls at you loop after loop.

The DLC has a couple of game design choices that I’ve felt detracted from the experience, and put it a notch below the main game. I’m still glad I played it, because the core Outer Wilds vibe is still there, and finishing the main game again after wrapping up the DLC had a worthwhile emotional payoff.

I mean, red turnip may be rotten, but you wouldn’t want blue turnip to get in.
