Nearly 20 years ago I was on a meeting when one of my coworkers suddenly jumps back, takes off his shoe and throws it in the middle of the room, with a scared face. Everybody looks at the shoe and out of it comes crawling a spider. At this moment the boss walks into the room and notices the spider too and says: “woah, careful, that spider is extremely venomous”. The other guy then looks even more terrified.

Boss takes him to the hospital and he took the antidote within like 15 minutes from being bitten, so no big deal at the end of the day, just the story of how he was wearing a shoe with a spider in it for over an hour before it bit him. We were all laughing and cracking jokes in the afternoon but the guy was just relieved about no longer feeling the pain from it.

I have no idea what spider it was, but this happened on a small town in the Atlantic forest region of southern Brazil. My guess would be that it was a Brazilian Wandering Spider (the spider famous for giving painful long lasting erections).

Two games I was looking forward to, both launching on the same day. One has Denuvo (civ 7), the other has not (KCD2). Guess which one I’m going to be playing.

Rule of thumb:

• are you making fun or otherwise mocking someone?
• are you doing it for any “bad reason” whatsoever?
• are you doing something that is/was primarily done by others for “bad reasons”, historically?
• are you doing something that other groups started doing as a replacement for something else that they were not allowed to (that you are)?

I’m half asleep so I may have forgotten something but if I didn’t, then answering No to all of those should be the minimum thing you do.

Unlikely to ever happen, but Xenogears.

Did not expect to see a Croc game ever again. Now all we’re missing is Gex.

Some projects will end up being a waste of resources, but others end up printing a ton of money.

In my head this scene was my own idea so unless I completely forgot about it (which would not surprise me) it wasn’t

Fun fact; Hitler is in the good place.

… It was a technicality.

Flashback:

Architect: “man this Hitler dude is so awful, whoever kills him goes to the good place, no questions asked.”

If I understood correctly is demanding payments from WP Engine for offering competing services using wordpress.

I was making a source-available farm game around the same time that stardew valley came out. Worked on it for about 7 years total mostly on my free time from work. Shortly after SV came out I got a ton of hate from its new fans because I was “stealing from ConcernedApe” and stuff like that. I ended up giving up on the project after a while. And now these days pretty much every rpg has farm mechanics on it.

Comedy: What we do in the shadows;

Action: Black Sails;

Anime: Monster;

Depression: Bojack Horseman.

That’s not my experience with steam at all. Only one or two options of the steam store tend to show AAA games over indie games. If you browse by category or using the dynamic recommendation you’ll see plenty of good games.

Ok that may take a few years.

With Climate Change we’ll eventually run out of names. Unless Hurricane Karen manages to be the one that kills everyone before that happens.

Not necessarily. They might just be able to choose the strength at will and decided not to start out with the max output back with Katrina.

I’m gonna go on “no stupid question” and ask why my old hard drives aren’t doubling in size.

I remember a time back when I still used twitter, thinking: “oh guess I’ll follow that dude who created Javascript” then shortly after wondering: “why is there so much stupid shit showing up on my timeline lately?”.

You can but only if you’re wearing the Zora armor.

“oldies” these days are Avril Lavigne, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Gorillaz. Or as I like to call them: music from the early century.

ClickUp is A LOT worse than Jira.
