I love this album. So good.

If you haven’t played What Remains Of Edith Finch, and you like games with an excellent narrative, treat yourself and get it. It’s a short game, you can complete it in an evening, but the story it tells is beautiful.

79 million / 2500 = 31,600

I think at least a few of those people could’ve kept their jobs.

He’s worked for an lgbtqia+ charity for asylum seekers. At this point, I don’t care if he is gay, he deserves to be accepted on merit.

I just got myself an Analogue Pocket to play GB and GBA games I missed over the years, but realise I can also play some of these fan made new releases. Are there any others that anyone can recommend?

Just a bit more rainforest, no one will notice.

Until recently I worked for a big telecoms company as a software engineer. We had time set aside for self development and non-work projects. Originally it was half a day a week, but we found it better to be a day every fortnight.

You could learn a new programming language or tool, build something just for fun or something you thought was useful for the team (we built a custom dashboard with notices etc., a quiz engine for weekly quizzes), or add functionality to a project that wasn’t specced or requested, but you thought could add value.

After a while, a department wide code wars league was set up to challenge and learn, we had a yearly Easter egg hunt that involved solving puzzles to find prizes, people did lightning talks to teach things that they’d learnt, workshops, etc.

So much knowledge, skill and confidence was added to the team that was worth way more than what we’d do on any normal day. I’d recommend it to any technical team to try something similar.

What year is it?!

I got to “Money (notes)” as vegetable and thought to myself “of course, because coins would be mineral,” then saw the Piggybank as mineral and confirmed my logic.

I still don’t understand “dinner service” as mineral? Is it the cutlery?

There’s at least two movies called The Wicker Man, so you might be remembering the other one with Christopher Lee. I think that one has less bees.

Don’t forget Final Fantasy XIV. That game got a full rewrite, top to bottom and came out far better than its original state.

I saw it in the cinema with friends, we all realised how shit it was pretty quickly, but I burst out laughing when the alien queen went on a rampage. It was so bad. “Look at its widdle legs!”

“And with God as my witness, I am that fool!”

According to his trans daughter, he was treating her like shit long before this, so he’s always been an asshole.

I think a capsule, permanently drifting through space, frozen, with a plaque on the side saying “this is a warning to everyone” sends a much clearer message.

Worf’s son Alexander was born in 2366 and was fighting in the Dominion war by 2374, at 8 years old, so I think he has her beat on precociousness.

Oh FFS.

This is a message to all straight guys: buy gay underwear!

Get yourself on Andrew Christian, Box, or Aussiebum, or any of the other underwear sites that cater to gay men. We have styles of underwear you wouldn’t believe. Yes there’ll be rainbows on a bunch of them, but there’s plenty that are more “reserved”.

BUT, what we do have is a wide range of styles that are comfortable and sexy. We have underwear that separates your cock from your balls, which are really comfortable. We have styles that allow you to show off, or act demure. We have boxer shorts that have freaking pockets!

And because the queer community largely (not always, but we’re working on it) accepts all body types, we even cater to larger guys who need a little more room in their smalls.

Seriously boys, get yourself some sexy gay undies. Your junk, and your partners, will thank you.

Ah, following in Wakefield’s steps. Good to see the grifters and charlatans don’t change, but it is sad that people keep falling for it.

Have you heard of “false friends?” Words that have come from one language into another, but due to use have completely changed meaning along the way, often to mean the exact opposite of their original meaning. This is common enough that, especially if you speak a Latin based language and learn English as a second language, you’ll see them everywhere.

My point is, that this is not an internet phenomena and has been a feature of languages since there has been language. Some don’t last long, others are so embedded in our lexicons that we don’t even notice.
