One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

(FF14 post) When I first started tanking I completely bombed in Holminster Switch - wiped on the same packs like 3 times in a row, so ever since I've done those packs one at a time. Tonight we got roulette'd into it with a dps who decided to pull multiple packs for me - and I STAYED ALIVE. 💪🥳💪

This is what I've been working on for the last year in my day job. It's a self care reminder app with a sexy vampire who calls you a good boy/girl/thrall for brushing your teeth (etc). We have 3 more romanceable characters in the works & many ideas for improving our core functions too.

Have you worked on a game that had a demo on a console, not just PC? If so, you should let me interview you for the Demospree newsletter! Was it worth the extra effort? Any big lessons? Would you do it again? I'd love to hear about how well demos work on Nintendo or PlayStation or that other one.

Was all excited to try the new train line... and it was cancelled. On the plus side, having two lines meant I could catch a train to a diff station and transfer to a bus! Which departed in the time it took me to change platforms So now I'm waiting for new train again from a diff station, lol

I... Don't actually remember if I've talked about it here, but I've been playing FF14. Specifically for the story, which I've not much liked so far. Finally up to Shadowbringers and it's fascinating how much the game changed since the expansion before it. I might actually be enjoying it now? 😅
