If we're going to keep doing DICE at the Aria every year I'm gonna need the two Starbucks on the second floor to receive unique designators so we can tell them apart.

I have nearly missed meetings because of this problem. DICE organizers would do well to put up banners at each one.

I am exhausted by the Attention Economy.

Believing "everything happens for a reason" makes people look for someone or something to blame whenever something bad happens. Humans are profoundly uncomfortable with the idea that the universe is nothing but chaos with no purpose.

I no longer have to be jealous of the sledding in the north east. We have a sledding hill at home.

I have never seen an episode of Adventure Time. I do quote Jake the Dog, tho.

Ya'll I'm a crochet prodigy. I made a frog.

A green frog on a lily pad crocheted from yarn.

It happens all the time. The people who decide what games get made are the people who control money. That's true of everything, though. Games are not unique in this, they just have longer dev times than many things so the cut is deeper when it happens.

Sometimes people repost their most popular posts of 2024 to get more engagement. Here's mine.

Modern manliness is using a utility knife to cut the yarn tails off the wooble lily pad you just finished.

You don't have to go that way early. He's a big wall for early game and is best just ignored for a while.

So I was muddling through analysis paralysis in figuring out what social media content is worth making... so I looked at Pirate Software to see what format they use for videos. I clicked a random video and it HAPPENED TO BE THIS ONE. www.youtube.com/shorts/ktDhv... Thanks @piratesoftware.live. lol.

You could feel the content being squished into one season. Still spectacularly produced, but it needed a lot more room to breathe. We also rocketed up the story telling escalation curve from a few kids growing up to Multiverse and Time Traveling Cosmic God faster than any other IP I can think of.

What if I heart all my own posts... does that tell the algorithm I have strong self-esteem?

Wouldn't you like to trade your problems with Windows for xorg.conf?

If you can't work out some agreement between the two of you, the only enforcement available to you is either through the policies of platforms like Ko.fi and Top.gg or through a lawsuit. It's definitely much easier if you can just agree what the solution is and make it happen.

Capo (Josiah Kiehl) @capothedev.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

It's a good name, and also a common and obvious one. I can see why you both chose it, and also why there ended up a duplicate since many discord projects are Somethingcord.

Capo (Josiah Kiehl) @capothedev.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Oh interesting. Is this a case of two projects with the same name or is the app that @midnightwolf.bsky.social runs a derivative of @skycord.kyanoxia.com? The commands are different, so it looks like both devs picked the same name and they're separate projects. I use @midnightwolf.bsky.social's.

My manager at Riot once told me he gave up Software Engineering for management because people have harder problems to solve and he wanted the challenge. I've seen him proven right so many times. Building software is, by far, the easiest part of Software and people are, by far, the hardest.
