The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Let's be honest, the real issue they had was that the human safety net was Foreign

I love open world gamesβ€”but fact is, if your game gets boring as soon as you go off piste from the story, it should not be an open world game.

Unfortunately running contrary to human nature; we seem far more attentive to doom. Needs to be decoupled from engagement and judged on accuracy. But indeed, how?

Sadly, anything relying on herd action (like user adoption) can be practically relied upon to make terrible decisions. They'll keep using X because that's where more people are, but people are only still there because they keep using it 🀦

Just another dick move by Adobe, yeah. I got my first tech job working in Flash back in 2007 and it's been a huge part of my toolset for a big chunk of my career.

I use Affinity these days but the main thing I miss from [An] is its quick & dirty vector drawing (Boolean etc), great for UI work

One my all-time faves! And... I've logged about 200 by comparison. πŸ˜…

Definitely glad there are those that can give a game an in-depth look, but yeah it's why I think curator comments are more interesting than reviews; I want qualitative not quantitative analysis 😊

As a father of two kids under 7, I quite frankly don't have time to play any but my most favourite games more than 10 hours, and I certainly wouldn't waste more than 1 on a game I dislike.

Everyone's got different criteria I guess. I also hate the common "hook attention asap" maxim, fwiw

Since 2026 started, that is. Not the internet. Boy, that would be nirvana right there

Feeling pretty good about this year. I think it's because I have, thus far, largely avoided the internet since it started

Kind of amusing when people shy from teaching young kids the word "cyan".

It's like "orange is too complex; let's just argue endlessly whether carrots are red or yellow."

Maybe, but it'd be dwarfed by the number of movies in the category "script contrivance ensures the dog survives, despite absolute carnage"

It seems all too often lately that a good thing is being quietly scrapped, in the hope nobody will notice until it's too late.

Accomplishments? Well I have been doing some time travelling, actually. Been steadily making my way to the future at a rate of 24 hours per day, for some time now

My 6 year old seems to be the only kid in school that can't get into it, bless her. But that's only because the demons freak her out, which is pretty understandable

Public variables all over the place; but in Unity, so it's sorta fine (I know we're supposed to use [ShowInInspector] now or whatever, but some days I just CBA)
