I'm not a competitive gamer but I've been doing a Kingdom Hearts 2 Level 1 challenge run. This boss took me 5 hours and it's the first time I've been proud enough to upload a clip of me playing. The real battle starts at 0:44, but enjoy a short comp of my death www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiS7...

Every time I set up a laptop, I have a huge list of settings to change and software to install. So I published it as an article, for future me and for devs missing out on these useful settings. Have you got any go-to software and settings that you'd recommend? component-odyssey.com/articles/15-...

Comic:

1. (Person A to Person B): Mom... I'm depressed
2. (Person B): Is that because of that game you play?
3. (Person A): Oh yeah, lemme check if I accidentally played the fucking game that makes you depressed
4. (Person A looking at Milk Outside A Bag Of Milk Game Image): Oh fuck

I really need to be better at sharing the things I've written and done on social media! So here's a recent piece that's doing numbers. Here was a painful performance bug I came across in FF. Interestingly, it didn't happen on any other browsers component-odyssey.com/articles/13-...

The Two Lines of CSS That Tanked Performance (120fps to 40fps)

Learn WCs felt so sluggish on Firefox that I disabled the background animation for all users. Turns out, fixing it took changing two lines of CSS.

One thing that micro-transactions in video games have proven irrefutably is that men also want to spend a bunch of money on little outfits, and society had failed them in finding a way to express it.

TIL about the dataset property 🤯

<button data-variant="primary" data-size="medium">
Click me
</button>

<script>
const button = document.querySelector('button');

// Before
const variant = button.getAttribute('data-variant');
const size = button.getAttribute('data-size');

// After (using dataset)
const { variant, size } = button.dataset;
