A fantastic set of weird soundscapes in a beautiful location. Highly recommend checking out the Sonica installations at Pollok House this week if you’re in or near Glasgow.

how do i manage to click this single pixel 8-12 times every day and why does it even exist??

tiny little bastard pixel next to the unity component context menu button which collapses the bastard inspector instead of opening the bastard menu

Following the recent incident at the stick factory where one of our sticks was used to beat an employee at the other stick factory, I believe it is only a matter of time before we have built a stick big enough to destroy humanity.

Trying to debug my Unity game and constantly having to dismiss random uncaught exceptions from the engine. Seems like it's trying to request some gravatar URL but the 404 is unhandled. The state of this engine is just beyond frustrating. Instead of fixing it they're adding new AI features!

A science fiction story set in the near-future (approx 60 years) where all the young people have been transformed in to old and infirm half-zombies. The protagonist, now appearing like an 82 year old, must race against time to find a cure for this mysterious disease before it kills him!

So frustrating to see so many gamers say "this isn't a problem, no one refunds games unless they actually don't like them". I've heard from more than one publisher that they would never consider a game less than 3-4 hours because of the refund window. www.reddit.com/r/gaming/com...

If people are serious about rejecting AI in games (which they should be) then this is the real route. Don’t fling nasties on social media. Organise. Unionise. www.gameworkers.co.uk/manifesto/
