Great thread about that here! \/\/
This is slightly related but one time I attached a video to a bug report called "stupid ai" and the dev replied saying "we've fixed the "stupid" ai" and honestly I'm still embarrassed over ten years later

Apparently old resolutions may stay available, but I wouldn't trust Google about that.
Diving back into Uni, I am definitely not fully recovered after being so busy lately but I am allowing myself to half-arse it a little bit, cause it's better half-arsed than not-arsed ๐

And you won't be able to scapegoat QA anymore. People will see exactly what QA shield the world from.
do you know what would streamline QA better than genAI ever could?
better working conditions in the games so that the people in QA and people improving the things found by QA will be happier, healthier, and more productive at work
important reminder: food banks usually prefer money to direct food donations because they can buy at discounted rates
check with your local food bank to be sure but now is the time to help out
I'm still recovering from a bunch of too-busy days before I dive back into Uni, and during times like this, some parts of me are very thankful that my pre-medicated self was not able to sort out my thousands of Pokรฉmon cards. It's a wonderful brain-empty activity!

very excited to share this story about an emerging video game genre: games that live on bottom of your desktop screen. my first story in the NYT, featuring @mistermorrisgames.bsky.social, @toadzillart.itch.io, and more!

if you're looking to make a direct impact in your community, i highly recommend seeing if there's a community-run pantry/fridge in your city (mine has one, it's great) to drop off people *and* pet food. if you have money to spare, most have QR codes to scan for $$$ donations.

English people don't buy into the cult of personality in the same way Americans do.
Popped to ye olde mental health hospital and now my ADHD meds are on repeat for the foreseeable future ๐
Treated myself to some CDs on the way home cause there were some charity shops on the way I hadn't been to before, very decent haul for a couple quid ๐
It's so baffling to me that people in England can use the pride of defeating the Nazis to then fuel fascism... it's such a bizarre oxymoron that can only exist via a fundamental misunderstanding about what WW2 was and what we were fighting to stop
