One of the worst American dishes has to be meatloaf. I do not understand why anyone thinks this smooshed-together-blob of meat is good. It's either dry as a bone, or greasy as hell. Tastes like nothing so people usually have to smother it in ketchup.

And I've tried many "good" renditions... nope

It's been a few weeks since Microcenter sent me the last weekly email promoting the Nvidia DGX Spark AI computer. I was starting to get worried. Then a new one landed in my inbox this morning.

As a friend commented: "Nature is healing"

This is why I ignore almost all discourse around games. It’s rarely helpful.

I don’t think anyone, anywhere, ever, enjoyed using Outlook

But how does line go up if no one has money to make like go up?

This is what happens when we build a system exclusively focused on the next quarter and nothing beyond

And no way am I buying anything beyond essentials. Probably would slash my cell service down to a budget carrier (should do that anyway). All that consumer spending that the economy depends on is going to evaporate.

And then the civil unrest will start.

If AI really causes 20-30% unemployment (which means actual unemployment will be much worse, our method of measuring this is very weird), who the heck is going to buy the products and services these AI-transformed companies produce? If I'm unemployed you can bet I'm cutting every subscription I have

Yeah, only the next quarter and the next fiscal end of year matter to these guys. Anything past that is potentially someone else’s problem

What I don’t understand is how none of these CEOs who know this is going to result in massive unemployment, wonder how they’re going to sell their products when no one has any money to buy them. Can’t just rely on selling to the 1%

44% of games industry professionals have considered leaving the industry as a result of redundancies New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months

Me. I’m in that 44%. I havent lost my job (yet) but this is very much in my mind www.gamesindustry.biz/44-of-games-...

The Nightsisters? Ventriss? That’s pretty much all I’ve got

Windrose has a Sea Shanty button. Press it while steering your ship and your crew breaks out in song. GOTY

That’s EXACTLY what a catfish would say…

Makes total sense

Thanks for the additional breakout. It's something I'm always talking to indie devs about: If you don't have a producer, that work still happens, it just gets spread around. Now, having a really strong team dramatically minimizes that workload and is a blessing in many ways :D

Given you ran the project, I'd love to see an estimate on what your split was between programming and production.

“Competence porn” is an amazing way to describe the show

And those are awesome glasses

@realfollowers.bsky.social sup?

Brilliant.

Also periodically turning the thermostat down

Oh just wait. In a few books the recap alone is going to go well over 100 pages

Damnit!!! Who told??

Oh, I have absolute faith that the Democrats could absolutely squander and waste a super majority

Cats and comfy jammies alone are worth the price

I just have to keep reminding myself we got back to the moon finally. That gives me a glimmer of hope.

A group famous for grace and performance under pressure...

Unless they subdivide the company. Disney takes Fortnite, UE (and UEFN) continues on as a separate entity that Disney FN contracts for dev and engine support

Closest I've ever come to getting art "agile" is to just set them up in a kanban board... which is just about the minimum amount of agile I think you can do these days.
