It's been awhile since I last checked, but somebody has finally claimed my old twitter handle after I deleted my account.
At least it doesn't appear that they're trying to impersonate me, yet.

It is unfortunately fitting that this administration's response to "why does air travel suck so much" is "You deserved it because of what you were wearing."
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Wow does this thread go places... Very entertaining and informative.
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

I was initially talking about Anno, but CoD:Blops 7 coming in with a perfect example.
There's not a single game dev at Treyarch or Raven Software who had this as their creative vision.
This is all exec pushed slop.

When I read this garbage on a Steam page, I assume the "creative vision" is exec bonuses hatred towards the folks that actually build the game.

Working on my color grading knowledge/tricks with some footage I took at Saltwater State Park a couple weeks ago. Frame from the original footage in the replies for comparison but I'm pretty proud of how this turned out. Couple of minor nits to pick, but a hell of a long way from a year ago

Stressed? Try:
1. Stop. Pausing to think can save you more time overall, maybe even from doing the wrong thing.
2. Collaborate. Go out of your way to seek outside perspectives.
3. Listen. It's not enough to just gather input, digest and act on it.
Soon, you'll be back, with a brand new invention

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

What I love about Any Austin's videos are the exploration of how deep a lot of these topics are.
To think that folks making a video game, already an impossible task, are able to dig deep into so many different topics and incorporate them into their pretend worlds.
Always amazing.

How many times am I going to have to uninstall co-pilot from @vscode.dev? Too many times, already, and more coming, I assume.
It seems the plan is to keep making it a dependency of other, non co-pilot, plugins to force install, even if it's completely unrelated.
