I do the same thing and sometimes i'll just type random stuff at the end of the thing I pasted and then delete the extra bits, so everyone sees the "... is typing" message. i fully recognize that this is borderline psychotic behavior and yet I still do it.

A test to demonstrate that people may not attach sounds to shapes arbitrarily. On the left is a rounded soft looking shape labeled "Bouba", on the right is a similar shape that is sharp and pointy, labeled "kiki".

Really wanted to like that game but I found the economy really stifled my enjoyment.

This is a UI argument I've been making for years. Since widescreen aspect ratio monitors became the norm, we have a surplus of horizontal screen real estate and a lack on the vertical. And since websites aren't expanding breakpoints to use the width, it only make sense to put UI on the side.

I remember watching the return of the Daily Show after 9/11 and Jon Stewart's tearful message about how his view was the twin towers but now it's the Statue of Liberty... in RealPlayer. Do I get double points?

with regard to the discussion of the F1 broadcast seeming to cater directly to giving advertisers more screen time, I noticed that the start of the SpanishGP was framed to show the ad banners prominently and then zoomed in for lights out.

People used to pay designers a decent wage instead of generating something with AI and saying, "recreate this as cheap as possible. No, I don't want you to think or improve it, just recreate this in a file I can edit later."

The industry lost another real one today. Danielle once wrote a video game review (yes, a video game review) that while quotidian to some, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this, changed my life.

I’ve been watching F1 since my grandfather took me to the final Detroit GP as a child. The F1 audience was both shrinking and aging under Ecclestone. Now the global audience has grown from ~500M cuml. in ‘14, into the billions now. If you love F1 and want it to have a future, you’re welcome… mate.

You’re confusing design intent with corporate need to recover R&D investment into a product that will never reach market.

Those statistics don’t really support the argument. Family cars are still used solo frequently but having four doors makes it more convenient for times when they’re needed. There’s no appreciable cost savings for making a two door. This is an abandoned design for a two door passenger car, not a taxi

Kinda surprised I didn't hear more about this movie. Motor City (2025) has basically no dialogue, and it seems to actually work. The gimmick gets a little thin over and hour and forty-five minutes, but it mostly works.

You'll be rev matching perfectly by the end of the day for sure. Also, we expect this to translate into better results for Oberhof.
