Yeah, you’re right. I guess we may as well just give up and give in to the inevitable.

Ah. Sorry.

This cover by the Afghan Whigs of the song “Lost in the Supermarket” by The Clash is really good:

As this picture scrolled into view I thought This will be the worst kidney stone I’ve ever seen.

I thought I loved the first book when I read it, but I realized I hated the entire series when I read the fourth book.

This is the kind of thing Bob Page would do.

I had always interpreted the Walking Simulator label as a pejorative and never paid any attention to games described this way. Recently though I got The Invincible because some of the screenshots reminded me of old John Berkey paintings and I’m a total sucker for that kind of stuff, and I just absolutely loved it. I’m looking forward to trying out Firewatch.

“Hey Siri, fast forward two minutes”

Seems like they’re always looking straight out of the screen, just looking dead at you all the time. I hate it when people do that in real life.

It’s so good. It’s mostly just little happy musical chords that are inserted into the dialog. The tones give Rocky a great depth of character.

I feel like the version we had definitely had its name printed as Birdo and not Ostro. I have always called that thing Birdo.

Orange Vanilla Mio mixed with Key Lime LaCroix is a great drink. I feel like I almost got to where I was spending as much on that as I used to spend on beer and had to cut back on it too, but I don’t mind it when I do!

One thing that is really handy for development is that you can set up any container to use a proxy server. I use that a lot to reduce the sheer amount of crap that would get sent to the proxy if it were enabled at the system level or in the regular browser network settings. It really keeps the noise down.

You can, but there is no form of exporting your handwritten notes. There’s also sort of a tendency to “bend” what you’ve just written a bit after you lift your stylus. Like it’s vectorizing and slightly correcting the path you just drew.

I have had moderate success using the built-in Scribble feature to convey my handwriting into text in the main editor. It’s not super great but is serviceable. It’s real opinionated about when and where new paragraphs should appear.

We played a game with our Cub Scouts where they would set up a pyramid of red plastic cups in a field and then fly a drone equipped with a release mechanism to drop a ball from as high as they wanted to take it and see how accurate their aim was. Their aim was terrible and hilarious and they ended just running through the cups and throwing them at each other, but loved thinking about where to position the drone and ask about doing it again a lot.
