I think my cat had a nightmare? Was watching a movie, he was on the back of the couch, sleeping. Suddenly he "gasps" and is on his feet, hissing at me. This went on for a couple minutes. *Very* upset about something. Nothing I or the movie would have done to startle him, either. Odd! Cat tax ⬇️

Also snagged a haul of coffee beans up in Portland, from PDX Coffee Club. Started with the Proud Mary since it's already a month off roast. Getting Earl Gray / black tea vibes, which tastes OK-ish, but clearly too astringent. Not sure how to adjust tho. 1:16, 90c, 3:00 TBT (v60).

ProGrade is raising its memory card prices 30-100+% in Japan next week. Only 3-4% of that is due to weak Yen. Have to imagine other markets and other companies will be following suit soon...

Response by me, to a post from @pfrazee.com about how "the response to Jay's post about the 'you must hate waffles' meme proves her point"

Man, come on. "Waffles" is about folks overreacting to harmless choices in taste. Y'all have twisted it to avoid addressing real concerns. Team needs to take a day off from posting.Screenshot of me now blocked by pfrazee

Someone in the esports photog discord was diving into Darktable, so I decided to try it out too. The docs are hella outdated and the UI is inscrutable, but capabilities are impressive. This clean of a fix for mono-color lighting would be a nightmare in other software, but DT did it with two sliders.

One of our goals this year was to have a stronger emphasis on showing the community. The C in the FGC is no buzzword. People don't go to Evo because it's big, it's is big because of the people that come together at Evo.

And I don't want to drop too many screenshots but this part really jumped out at me. The value of familiarity, and the way it allows us to bypass uncertainties in communication. You can extrapolate this to so many things ... design, development, team-building...
Itoi: And this is a vague area, but boring things don't have any familiarity.

Iwata: Familiarity.

Itoi: Right. The three of us don't have to be formal with each other, we can just say, "You're being dumb."

Miyamoto: Uh-huh.

Itoi: In situations like that, you exchange a lot. You can go back and forth about heavy topics and long-winded matters and stuff about burnt bits of yakisoba. But without familiarity, it's like, "Sorry if it sounds rude, but..."

Iwata: Yeah, uh-huh. (laughs)

Miyamoto: Yes, that's right.

Itoi: That limits what you can pass on. Familiarity increases the flow of traffic. The more you can toss all kinds of things back and forth, the more fruitful it will be. It will spread.
