I think my attachment to The Warning is a combination of: * They are extremely talented musicians and song writers. * They put EVERYTHING into their performances and it SHOWS. * They are sisters that are roughly the age of my own kids. Paternal instincts, man... www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Px...

Every so often I remember to check the app store for new games by Maciej Targoni. Today was like Christmas with two!
Screenshot of Maciej Targoni’s app store page. Overwords is their latest game. Also try Push! It’s great.

Someone used my email to sign up for something. I didn’t confirm. I’m waiting to see how this plays out. Will my plan ever be deleted?! 🤔🍿
Screenshot of email summaries from a service I did not sign up for, threatened to delete my account if I don’t confirm, and then continues to spam me.

Transcript

Panel 1

August is at the office and looking at a computer that's being difficult. It can't seem to connect to the network. The screen says "ERROR No connection So alone". Poor computer. August tried the usual fixes but the problem isn't obvious. He's begun searching for answers on his phone with a search engine called "searchle".

August: This might take a while to fix.

Robin: Okay, let me know when it's-

Panel 2

Robin has noticed that August is searching online for solutions. Why did he even bring IT into this when he could have done that himself?

Robin: Wait, you're just looking up how to fix it on your phone! I could have done that.

August: You still can do that.

Panel 3

Robin looks to the side and contemplates the situation. August wouldn't mind being able to skip this task but is also aware not everyone knows the right thing to search for and he will probably still have to do it in the end.

Panel 4

Robin has decided to stop questioning things and take this as an opportunity to get some coffee. This moment is a gift. August is unbothered, he would probably do the same thing.

Robin: I'm going to get some coffee. You want anything?

August: No thanks.

Stranger Things is a great example of what happens when a franchise hits it big early and the creators are given free reign (and no editors). Trimming twenty minutes from each episode would have done so much to help it.

After hearing everyone gush about Balatro for so long I find it a bit... weird that it didn't wow me when I finally played it over the weekend. Do I need to stick with it?

Now that I'm 50+ I believe the reason older people don't sleep as much is less about not needing sleep and more about chronic pain and crushing anxiety. Maybe that's just me idk.

Just started Pluribus and it's neat and all, but if it doesn't ask and answer some of my own questions I will be incredibly disappointed. Much like puzzle games should thoroughly explore the space their mechanics provide, so must thought-provoking shows explore theirs.

I sent an extremely rude reply to a political text spam and got a reply "Thanks for your time have a nice day" and now I feel so guilty. We're on the same side! But I absolutely don't want you polluting my day with unsolicited pings.

Someone showed me how GPT responds to showing a seahorse emoji. It goes on like this for PAGES 😬😅😱🫠
The user asks ChatGPT “Is there a seahorse emoji?!”. What follows is sad, hilarious meltdown as it tries to respond.

Sure fire way to get me to use your boosters in your f2p game? Make the UI painful to look at when I accumulate too many.
Pre-game booster selection from a match-3. The first two show a quantity label of 100, but the font is squished to fit the space. The last only has 99 and looks much nicer because its two digits can use a larger font size.

I love how the charging icon covers the middle third of the battery indicator on iPhone. So you can easily tell if you have less than 20%, more than 80%, but nothing in between.

As much as I love Don’t Starve, backing the board game Kickstarter for $80 and getting hit with half a dozen $20 expansion sets as add-ons just feels gross.

Woke up to an alarm at 3am that I meant to set for 3pm. Yes, it’s my fault, but it has happened so many times that I’d still call it a UI/UX bug. The iOS alarm app is shit.

I’ve worked with Cam. He’s a great person, prolific, and talented. He’s someone that I’ve been trying to find a way to work with again. Until then, you should hire him.

Coming off of Dept Q straight into Wednesday, I wonder how many other shows there are where the main character is an asshole that treats everyone like shit, yet is somehow tolerated. Is that a genre?

Mini rabbit hole. A random mobile game sent me searching for Nuuk, capital of Greenland. Off in the corner, Gmaps shows another town with a curious name Ittoqqortoormiit.

A week later and I finished going through all 1232 US-based game companies in the gamedevmap. Folks, there are a lot of people out there making some REALLY COOL stuff. I emailed quite a few studios just to give them kudos even though I knew they aren't hiring.

Thronglets have the best nag notifications
Four notifications from the Thronglets game. They are snarky. For instance: “You seem uncaring, Jeff, please log in and change the Throng’s opinion of you.”

This UI is so messy omg what were you thinking Apple. (I’m on a Metric kick after their local show was cancelled.)
Screenshot of the iOS music app. Current song at top with two buttons on the right and three underneath. Music queue under that, each with a grab handle on the right. Current son progress bar under that. Rev/play/ff buttons under that. Volume bar under that. Utility buttons under that along the bottom.

Devil’s Plan is like a board game streamer’s YT channel, but with games you’ve never heard of and with actual stakes. I realize it’s not for everyone, but if that appeals to you do check it out.

There is an incredible grifter market just waiting if you can convince these freaks that they have gender neutral bathrooms at home. An endless payday for America’s plumbers and contractors.
