I asked, her response was "My mom likes it", so I guess still a win for the cashier, since my mother-in-law is still technically Korean family.

I mean yes, my wife is Korean, so she guessed correctly, but I just lived in Japan for 14 years and prefer less sweet East Asian snacks. I’m not sure my wife even likes anpan.
I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!
#MundaneHalloween
A small torbie cAt is curled up on a gray couch cushion with a white towel folded behind her. Her tail curls up around her haunch, and her rear leg is extended slightly out beyond her face. She has a peaceful sleeping face.
Happy lazy, cozy Caturday from Maruko and me.

If you can answer this question this is your reminder to schedule a colonoscopy.

27.10.2025 20:30 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I had the pleasure of being involved with the audio team on OW2, and the music and radio were some of the most exciting things to work on in the project for me.
Interleave, one of the studios we worked with, is producing a behind the scenes on the music that will be a fantastic watch, guaranteed.
I am disappointed to report that a friend, due to a mishap with autocorrect said “straight up dog” in Discord, instead of “dmg”, and I set that one up with a perfect, pristine “What’s ‘up dog’?”, but he completely fumbled the spike.

25.10.2025 11:12 — 👍 9280 🔁 3376 💬 70 📌 203Didn't really intend to mod Baldur's Gate II, but the Ryoko Kui (Dungeon Meshi author) portrait pack, including the ones she made of the actual BG1/2 cast (!!!) is a must.
(And I think simple enough to work on Steam Deck with a little desktop mode fiddling)
I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but to any indie devs feeling bad because their game didn't sell or wasn't played as much as you wanted:
You still made a god damn video game. You did it, and that's harder than anything most people will do. I'm proud of you, you did great.
It’s been a day of milestones for me - Outer Worlds 2 launched, of course, but I’ve also made it to the gym and done an hour on the treadmill for the 100th day in a row without missing, and I’ve also lost almost exactly 100 lbs since this time last year. Small personal wins but I’m happy for me.

25.10.2025 05:15 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I'm thrilled and honored to have been a part of the team that brought The Outer Worlds 2 to life.
Massive kudos to the amazing folks I worked with on the game's audio and gameplay teams, and really looking forward to hearing what everyone's favorite radio station is (Mine's Grand Plan Wireless).

A new classic that is only officially available in a few countries.
It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

if you suffer from draculism (the illness what makes you a dracula) you're a dracula that's pretty much how it goes
remember this halloween season: don't go in spooky houses a dracula probably lives there.
