Seems to me everyone wants better services in this country but nobody wants to pay for it.

Work this week has me repeatedly trying to estimate development work for a client that has no money to spend, and if we billed out my time repeatedly doing this that would probably cover the cost of the development in itself.

"Is it ready?" "I don't think..." "Did I hear it's ready??" "... let me check..." Mustelids are not the most patient creatures on earth. -- I feel like using traditional media again lately. I guess I needed a change.

This is a 'sudden clarity clarence' moment as I realise I makes far more sense to pay for a bench you can enjoy while you are alive than one that people sit their asses on after you are dead.

Microshit really are gutting everything aren't they? What an amazing business strategy, kill off every studio in a "what have you done for me lately?" move. But somehow still rely on Gamepass as a core value prop? £15 a month for solitaire is the future. www.rockpapershotgun.com/xbox-lay-off...

With uni stuff much less intense but still plodding towards the finish line over the next two weeks, its really hard to find my zen. 80% of me is chill but the remaining 20% keeps mentally scaring me with "its not over yet".

Significantly de-googled this year to the point that as the renewal date arrives for my Google One I am taking no small delight in the slightly panic'd "You are going to lose access to your benefits" emails being sent at regular intervals. Its an automated 5-stages of grief but it will do.

I am a seasoned speaker and have no qualms about presenting to audiences big and small. But the definition of madness is practicing to an empty room. Its creepy and makes my skin crawl just speaking an audience of myself... So this lil guy is going to have to be my audience.

The amount of GTA gaming "news" coverage over the rest of this year is going to be insufferable. Its not like anyone needs convincing if they are going to play it or not. RIP any other games that want column inches in the next 6 months.

🧵Speaking to a friend recently, we both feel that our time with AAA gaming is basically at an end. For the 40+ years i've been playing games as my main hobby it feels like pricing and the cost of development means the bottom is about to fall out of the industry, and GTA 6 is the last hurrah (1/3)

This evening has been wild. I finished the last major outstanding bit of 3 solid months of dissertation work and the mental and physical high of decompression has hit me like a bus. It's like a free chemical high I've been riding for hours. I've been naturally drunk all evening. 🧠 🥴

The sky is crying... 🌧️ Typing this I realise I really should go dive back into Blues music. I used to listen to it loads when I was younger. BB King, Stevie RV, Muddy Walters, Clapton (yes i know), Robert Johnson, Howlin Wolf. Its a rich genre.
