The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

the "the myth of consensual sex" meme where it's a couple saying they consent but then jesus is off to the side saying he does't, but it's been changed so it says
"the myth of consensual urban transit planning"
And the couple is labeled "city dwellers"
the man is saying "we should make it easier to not drive here"
The woman is saying "like building bike lanes or adding bus routs."
And Jesus has been replaced with clip art of a farmer, labeled "someone who lives 1000 miles away and has no involvement whatsoever." and is saying "Stop trying to take my car away I will kill you"
text at the bottom still says "isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?"

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.

Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.

An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.

We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

A company with decades of single-player experience pivoting to multiplayer? Well, it worked for Anthem, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, FBC: Firebreak, Redfall, Marvel's Avengers, and all those PlayStation games

Can also name ranges of cells right? Like C1 to C12 being "PLAYER_LEVELS", which is also very helpful

Oof. I thought that might be the case. Hopefully I'll find some other way to read em then haha

A Puffin just taking flight out of the water, there are splashes behind it that show the trail of it kicking the water as it gains speed. It looks like its running ontop of the water

Went to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for a vacation. Picked up a used Fuji mirrorless camera. Was really fun taking photos, and looking for random birds since I went with 2 friends who are into birding. They may have converted me as well... time will tell haha.

Obs does this i think! I think it's called the replay buffer in settings

OBS also has the replay buffer feature. So it's always recording the last [x] mins and you can just press a hot key to spit out the video. Very useful!
