20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could
now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

Yup, at the end this was the problem, after using InvariantCulture thigns started working, I guess this is a canonical event for all devs.

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

Wow breathtaking pop-up, are you trying to flex on me @visualstudio.com??? 😂

A Visual Studio pop-up with no title, no text, but many buttons. It has OK, Yes, No, Abort, Retry, Ignore, Cancel and a Don't show this message again tick box.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:

Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

i am willing to pay at least $50 to someone who can credibly promise, with a high degree of accuracy, that they can hit me in the head with a golf club and destroy the part of my brain which can read and understand this

r/subredditdrama informed me last week that there's apparently drama in the erotic hypnosis/hypno-dom community over the use of AI for scripting and voice work. There are almost certainly dudes out there already working on unifying their workflow for fully automated fem presenting hypno-fin-dom.

Matt found the original "brainstorming document" for FTL -
Written on a big roll of paper in his apartment in Shanghai over beers.

You can see a lot of the foundational ideas there, but this was before we even pictured having ship-to-ship combat.

A big sheet of paper with random notes and sketches using colored markers scattered haphazardly.
Various ideas are written like "Fire is grid based and spreads :(" and "Questions: real time or turn based?"
