We almost lived in a word without System Shock 2. A poorer world. trib.al/jN1BdZn
With #ageofempires, we did a lot of work to include blurbs on the history (and mythology) behind the games. Games like #civilization do the same. Curious how many people get something out of this and how many TLDR?
Not sure how quarantine habits are going to translate to working in an office again… I have taken to home gym sets when I get coffee. Seems like it would be weird to see someone doing inclined flyes by the coffee machine in most offices.
A: I want to buy hold music for my phone system.
B: What’s your average hold time?
A: 3 hours.
B: For 3 hours, you don’t really need a full song…. We have an 8 second loop of donkey braying, recorded on a mic someone is kicking at the donkeys?
A: SOLD!

There are a lot of things about WFH that I like (no commute), but something I really miss about the office is the walk out at the end of the day. There's something about short convos with the random set of the team leaving at the same time after a good day of work.
#CrusaderKings3 should have an achievement for "restarts when you realize what you've done wrong."

Why open platforms?
Apple's control of the sole means of app distribution makes Apple an agent of every government's censorship efforts.
There is no such problem on Windows or Android - users are free to install software from sources of their choosing.

For those of you who know her, we had to say goodbye to Daisy yesterday.
Today involves a lot of spontaneous crying....
Trying to write out a person's name that includes graphemes, I am learning all sorts of new shortcuts...
I don't know where the owner's manual is but I'm pretty sure it doesn't say "if you can't find your extension, just hammer a flat-head screwdriver into the socket and torque the hell out of that with a pipe wrench."
I always feel super-smart when I realize that the editor isn't working because I'm trying to edit a screenshot...
My two favorite bills to pay right now are rent on the office nobody is working out of and internet service for this office....
If you haven't played Heretic Operative, now is a great time to fix that - it's easily the best digital board game where you lead a cult attempting to prevent magic from being abused by those it has corrupted. 50% off, with more than a year of updates!
