Whoever did sound for 30 Rock season 1 should be tried at the fucking Hague

God damn, I don’t buy new games, but I had to get HellDivers

I know it doesn’t sound like much, but I’ve spent the whole week working on a pre-caching system to make sure our character’s game art appears in 50ms

@fasterthanlime what did you decide about kagi in the end? I know you were trailing it, but I don't remember ever seeing a verdict :)

DW team, the "Gritty Realism" RTS/FPS rat-based WWI trench warfare game does still have a saucy lady mouse with huge naturals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eQTzA9cquc

Weighing up the idea of publishing to https://itch.io. I wana foster platform diversity and store-fee competition.

Making your own clothes is great if you want to spend more money and time for worse results. I can't recomend it enough

Anyone else here using Helix Editor for coding? It’s a nifty vim-a-like with great LSP and Tree-Sitter support https://helix-editor.com/

Mail order paracetamol, apparently some assembly required

Fantastic short doc about an incredible looking game for the original Xbox. Also, TIL that it’s called that because its code name was “The DirectX Box” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BDClzHu-ho

Survived the trip to ikea, got the wrong Desk Divider, took 2wice as long as it should have because of road works, new chair is comfortable

No Spotify, I don't like fucking "Soundtracks", I like THREE fucking SPECIFIC soundtracks. I don't even like other soundtracks by the same FUCKING artists. Stop recomending me the fucking HALO 2 SOUNDTRACK

Probably my favourite podcast of all time has returned: Imaginary Advice is a phenomenally powerful and deeply moving collection of stories and ideas, and I truly can’t recommend it enough.
