That is a strong look, Jen. Virtual high fives.

I mean she already had my utmost respect, but including Amplitude elevates her even further. πŸ‘ŠπŸ»

It’s a wonderful position you’ve clearly worked hard to get yourself in where you’re not hand to mouth and having to gamble on its success. Being able to make games without the pressure of having to do something else to keep the lights on is admirable. πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Β£9 fries ma’am?

So why has he persisted with using the address for many years if it never works for him?

Yeah Sea Star is awesome, sometimes game breaking. I used to stack the ones where you generate tidal waves that smash people into walls. You can just button mash your way through rooms in often as little as 2/3 seconds.

Yeah I’m crap with the close-quarters weapons. Ranged everytime for me. Still love stacking Poseidon boons, too.

I have no idea. I think if you tried to do it today it wouldn’t work, but I wonder if there was a buggy period where it could happen and it never got fully resolved.

I think that’s the theory but given this guy has used his non full stop version for years now, it must somehow work sometimes or he’d have stopped by now. I just unsubscribe to everything he signs up for now.

I do wonder whether he gets these emails, too? If not, why does he persist using the address?

It’s great isn’t it. I’ve seen most endings, I think, but still find some of the weapons really tricky/difficult to use well so end up mainlining one or two which is a real shame. I wish I enjoyed the writing more but after a while you just end up glazing over.

I have exactly the same issue. A man in his 50s in Florida uses my email address without a dot, on dating apps, to get his truck serviced, to manage his student loans and at one point to receive noods from a lady.

You need to listen to the guys @nextlander.com, @alexnavarro.bsky.social would be disgusted to hear that’s what you think of his taste in movies and TV shows. 😎

I get it in some ways, but at the same time I’m interested in reading your opinions on most things, not just games exclusively. At a certain point you earn that respect and people whose opinions align with yours will listen to anything you have to say.

I like left but honestly either is fine. Maybe make multiple colour schemes and let the user choose their own preference. You could add accessible high contrast and colour blind palettes, too.

I built a project in a week that would have taken over a year to build manually. It’s ridiculous.

Saw the glorious full-page ad in the latest Edge today. Nostalgic AF.

I fear it could the other way. There’s every chance Spencer and Bond quit in response to the way things have been run, and are scheduled to be run. I know they’re prominent figures but I suspect pressures are coming from even above them.

I had to summon for most of the bosses as I just couldn’t solo them.

I found it’s better to have the heating on all the time at a moderate temperature than off or low overnight, otherwise it can take a long time to get back up to temperature. You can’t call for heat quickly like you can with a combi boiler.

Dale Vince, even.

Did you get any sort of onboarding? We’ve had to considerably change how we run the heating and hot water and none of this was communicated properly. I now worry that that poor messaging is just going to amplify the heat-pumps-bad rhetoric that’s already doing the rounds thanks to Vince Dale.

Yeah, I’m prone to sticking it in sport mode then pinning unsuspecting passengers to the backs of their chairs when they least expect it.

Having an EV completely changed how I drive. Having your efficiency and extra-miles-earned-by-engine-breaking so visible means I cruise down hills and drive like a grandad. Even though my car is easily the fast thing I’ve ever driven.

Vocation is great. Their chocolate stout is mega.

Arc Raiders solo play has led to me unmuting the world on Xbox Live for the first time, probably, since the 360 GRAW days.

I downloaded the Xbox version hoping to do just that, but annoyingly there’s no dedicated server support. Was hoping they’d implement the same excellent shared world tech from Grounded but no bueno.

Anytime I apply for a job and they use Workday, I know my chances of an interview are zero.
