That's one way to describe this wine:

Unity bug reporting cycle:

Me: *files bug report*
Email #1: Your bug report is under review.
Email #2: Your bug report "Unrelated bug" has been confirmed and transferred to an internal team
Me: What? No. That's not what I reported at all.

#unity #gamedev

Hm, yeah that could've been it. :/

True. It was definitely disingenuous when they claimed that I "accepted" it... when I remember doing no such thing:

Netflix: Here's your confirmation email of your price increase
Me: Wait... what?

#netflix

Good for shy people!

Wait. "Red, White, and Blueland" is a real thing? Not satire?

What the actual fuck.

General mood lately.

Minnekhada beavers exist!

I bought Moss 1 years ago for the PSVR and got the upgrade to PSVR2, and bought Moss 2 there as well.

Now I feel super guilty for not having finished them 😂

Pretty otherworldly sunrise this morning

I'm more sympathetic to tri-plexes where the middle unit literally has no ground on either side of their driveway.

In Ontario (for detached homeowners at least) they just use snowblowers so the snow blows away elsewhere... and sometimes into another driveway :P

That's one buff looking snowman in the neighborhood

If I had 5c for every warning I've had to clean up every time I've imported a new asset...

Hey asset devs. If I'm paying for your asset, then the very least you can do is release your asset without warnings I'm forced to see every time I load up Unity.

It's basic software etiquette.

Commodore PET for me :D

I was totally addicted to Miner! back then.

Reminds me of the programmer joke:

Programmer A: I stole your code
Programmer B: It's not my code

Sunrise behind Mt. Baker

It's crazy how many nests there are for Great Blue Herons in just one location. Those birds are big!

Sometimes I'm amazed how dumb things can make me happier more than it should have.

From the #Unity 6.1 b3 release notes:
"Installer: Removed the automatic creation of a desktop shortcut when you install a new version of the Unity Editor."

11. If you attach a parent of a different scale, it'll break. You need to manually apply the parent's world scale to the distance value. Have fun with deeply nested objects...
12. If after all that it works, pour yourself your favorite drink. You deserve it.
13. Don't touch the button again. Ever.

8. If you change the collider size, fix the mesh position. If you move the mesh position, fix the collider size.
9. Except you *can't* just set the mesh position. You need to set max distance instead, which sets the mesh position...
10. Biggest gotcha: Max distance is world scale. Which means...

Part of the problem is if you don't have a twitter account, then you can't view the contents, so links are often useless.

Even more so if people are leaving twitter and cancelling/deleting their accounts so links no longer work for them.

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

Hmm this looks a little sus. Can't they even link to that tweet?

Not going to lie, I now have very low expectations when downloading assets.

"I'm going to have to clean this up, am I?"

Telus asking me to sign a petition for "more internet choice"

Uh huh.

The face it's "choice" and not "choices" is an interesting slip.

Avoiding the Second Disaster: How (Not) to Donate During a Crisis After a disaster happens, people want to help. But, there are right ways and wrong ways to donate after a disaster.

Just a reminder: in a disaster DO NOT DONATE PHYSICAL GOODS

Do not donate clothes, diapers, toys, furniture etc

These invariably create a "second disaster" and go to waste.

I see the problem... no basketball hoop in the bathroom

Go visit conservative.ca.

It's all about how Trudeau is bad. Zero platform ideas.

Where is this "fresh vision" you mentioned?
