You know, it's a bit of a red flag if your boss warns other people that they might feel like slaves at your studio. Jokes aside, I think voluntary crunch is fine if you have a share of the cake. In most cases the owners are the only ones profiting from the extra hours so it's just not worth it. 1/2

If you measure height in feet, does it mean that people used to lie down at the doctor's appointment? Or did they have a separate unit for vertical measurements, like the elbow or something? 🤔

On our way back home from a tournament we stumbled upon on this rustic marvel - the Petäjävesi Old Church. This UNESCO World Heritage site was built in 1765 by the local farmers, and since they received no help from the crown, even the interior is entirely made of wood. Very cool.

yeah sure whatever, let lara croft cook potato stew on her phone for 2m0s of damage resistance who gives a shit anymore
a screenshot from the upcoming remake of Tomb Raider 1. lara croft is looking at her phone in the middle of an ancient ruin, and it's showing her a generic crafting menu, and a png of saucepan of stew that apparently her phone lets her cook for "Damage resistance" if she has 6 potatoes

What you need to understand is when workers want financial security, that’s entitlement. When bosses want financial security, that’s a god given right. If you think there’s hypocrisy there, then buddy, you just don’t get business, and its inevitable natural laws.

Wish I'd taken the time to figure out @oskarstalberg.bsky.social's dual grid concept earlier. It simplifies everything so much while also enabling nicer tile shapes. In short: instead of designing tiles, design the boundary slices between them.
Diagram showing a square and a hex terrain grid with water and land, simplified by the dual grid. On the square grid each boundary slice is a rectangle between the midpoints of 4 adjacent tiles. On the hex grid it’s a tringle between 3.

Ocarina of Time is mostly about the differences between childhood and manhood, which mainly that boils down to having three pairs of shoes that you have to cycle through regularly instead of one.

AI is next level gatekeeping. Its proponents don’t just tell you that you’re incapable of doing a thing, they imply that nobody else is gonna be able to do it either, and suggest you pay them to do it for you, badly. Can’t be having with that nonsense. I’d rather learn to do things badly for myself

Our flight back home tomorrow got canceled, so we're taking a detour that adds 8 extra hours. Kinda sucks, especially on such a long flight, but thanks to EU we should be entitled to a pretty hefty standard compensation. A broken down plane might have just saved us a bunch of money.
