Did that my9movies.net thing. Some are still my favorites, but mainly picked what big films had a lasting impression on me and often live in my head, rent-free.
The Matrix Reloaded, Rankin-Bass Wind in the Willows, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Toy Story, Lawrence of Arabia, Spirited Away, Boyhood, and 28 Days Later.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

I’ve enjoyed watching my 5yo draw fun animal compositions since he was 2 or 3. His style is always evolving. It’s fun to see someone develop a unique art style.

Almost 29 years spent with English as my primary language and I still mix up the use in/on/at. TIL I also mix up “to”. At least I can conjugate verbs in all kids of persons and past/present/future/magical realism(?) tenses.

Why you should open source your tech specially before selling the company. Why game developers need to push for more open development of the tools, even if there is no intent of opening it to external contributors and has restricted licensing. Otherwise your past 20 years of work is lost forever.

One of the reasons I don't flood your timeline every three hours with posts about my games being on sale during the Steam's sales is that it barely makes any difference. Social media or not, my sales stay about the same. And they're good numbers! 👇

Unfortunately, some of my cousins in Caracas were impacted by the earthquakes. Good news is that they are safe but ones lost their home, another family living in a car waiting to see if it’s safe to return, and some cats went missing.

Someone at a local indie gamedev meetup pointed me to this. As a former EA employee, I do think this is a bad idea, and even friends who are still there just trying do a job are already getting impacted. The C-Suite and the board are being greedy and lazy. playersalliancehq.org/block-ea-dea...

I stopped using Google for search around twelve years ago. It takes about 21 days to get used to a new habit, or so I read, and I believe it. Take 5-10 minutes to reconfigure your browser to an alternative, and see how you feel in 3 weeks.
