I love how the story is what you’re concerned about and not the 100 new mechanics

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.

One time I declined to apply to a game company (for other reasons) and in my response email I mentioned the team’s lack of diversity on their website. I kind of regret being That Guy. Kinda.

We have now come full circle in six weeks

A screenshot of my inbox searching for mails from Coursiv. The first (bottom) mail asks me to "Confirm Your Email" on an account I never created. Following are a dozen other messages saying it will delete my account then behaving as if I did confirm. The most recent email (top) is identical to the first, asking me to "Confirm Your Email".

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?! 🤔🍿

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.

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.

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 use an app called When Did I… to keep track of these things. Some are for my own curiosity while others are genuine reminders. I wish the app could send a notif when something is overdue. It’s pretty barebones. Note: The garage cat bedding has been washed more recently than that

A screenshot from the app When Did I…? listing some tasks I track. Shown are: Inspect sprinklers, wash garage cat bedding, de-root pipes, fertilize garden, drain water heater, inspect under house, blow up fireplace balloon, clean dishwasher filter, clean clothes washer filter, and vacuum under fridge.
