Temple for the Atheist, by Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O 8 track album

Oh yeah, the new Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O album is out! Feels like yesterday when I had my hands on the previous KKKMO record (that was 10 years ago). #music #musicsky

Is VtM: Bloodlines 2 to the original Bloodlines what Syndicate (2012) was to the original Syndicate?

When you start having those "Hmm, could I afford a 10 000 € custom electric bass" thoughts, close the browser.

Product reviews that just list product features are not reviews, ffs.

Releases - Remedy Investors

AW2 started turning profit at the end of last year. Publishing it on Steam isn't up to Remedy since those rights are held by Epic. Boycotting Remedy doesn't net anything and without the Epic's funding the game wouldn't exist. investors.remedygames.com/releases-and...

The whole idea that Trump would get the Nobel peace prize is absurd. If he does get it, that would just take all the credibility from the Nobel Committee. I'd like to think the media's speculation on the matter is not done in earnest.

If I had to pick five all-time favourite songs, Rush's Red Sector A is definitely there.

Don't have enough (any) musician friends to ramble about bass equipment.

Una presents a slide that says "the best way to level up your web development skill set is to get good at CSS and HTML"

Yes yes YES THIS. The best thing a web dev can do is put the frameworks down sometime and learn how it really works. @una.im @ @nordicjs.com

I decided that any design discipline that doesn’t have an official or established translation to Finnish is just made up to sell books and isn’t a real thing.

Reading Vonnegut’s Bluebeard and I can not overstate how much I enjoy his work. Out of the 8 or 9 Kurt Vonnegut books I’ve read, only Breakfast of the Champions has left me lukewarm. #books #booksky

YouTube video by Artzineonline Steve Jobs on Paul Rand

Every time I have a client who seems to micromanage the design, I try to channel my inner Paul Rand. youtu.be/vJthkRrQcfo?...

For the past week or so I’ve been just watching videos about the Dingwall bass guitars. Decided that I’ll get myself one by the time I turn 40. The prices are ridiculous.

We think we have a great line-up for tiny ruby #​{conf}, but we would say that, wouldn't we…

#euruko might be over for this year but tiny ruby #​{conf} is still ahead!

Once again millions of gamers, who bemoan the barrage of re-releases of games they've never played due to wanting to play new games, celebrate as Nintendo announces re-releases of multiple games they've already played.

The discourse in Finland around Kirk's assassination is weird. People mix-up the US politics and Finnish politics in their heads and that's dangerous.

Also right wing politicians sending their condolences to the US government about it is extra weird, since he wasn't a government figure.

Good news! The speakers for tiny ruby #​{conf} have now been published!

It’s also your last chance to buy an Early ticket; they will be removed from sale at midnight.

Is the new World of Warcraft expansion called ”Midnight” because that’s the only time of the day when old-school WoW players can play it now that they have jobs and families?

Finnish media: “Stubb’s presence shows how much Trump respects Finland and the friendship he has formed with Stubb”

Trump:

A stack of books. Terry Pratchett’s Wintersmith, A Hat Full of Sky, and The Last Hero, and Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves.

Continuing to extend my already big backlog of books. The Last Hero is the next in line once I finish Wind & Truth. #books #booksky

Blue Öyster Cult gotta get paid!

Mercy Girl Mercy Girl is sensory euphoria and contemplation. Formed in 2024 by members Daisy Miles, Davey Purdie, Craig Harkness and Kylie MacNaughton, the Glasgow based electronic outfit explore themes of love...

I've had Mercy Girl be on almost constant loop for the past month. Hopefully we'll get a full album one day.

Prey even has a "SOLD OUT" label on top of its image if you add it to a showcase on your Steam profile. Pictured here are also some other games no longer available for purchase on Steam.

I never got far with Prey. I remember it being super cheap and then they ran out of keys. No longer available on Steam.

Same thing with Cryostasis.

Yeah, I think expecting to get a consultancy to build you an app with AI (e.g. with Replit) while expecting good quality at a fixed price is like expecting to get rich with a lottery slip. :D

Had a potential client tell me we should focus on building apps with AI so that we can offer them at fixed price. Told them that as a designer I'm not very enthusiastic about giving that work to an AI.

Also, how the heck do you maintain and do further development on a fully AI developed app?

Mega Drive is still the best name for a video game system.
