Why does every piece of software feel more needy than an attention-starved Labrador these days?

"How was my last search?" "Did I get that right?" "Please don't uninstall me!" "Are you sure you don't want me to be the default?"

God, they all need some self-esteem therapy.

Tips for getting ready for a trip to Melbourne

1) pack for all 4 seasons
2) Pray Melbourne doesn't invent a 5th season while you are there.

The more I think about it, the more I feel the current price for Gamepass is what it should have always been. I totally understand people cancelling and being angry because it is a lot, but at the same time, I am ok if the money goes towards dev stability.

With M$ it probably won't tho.

Wouldn't be a trip to Singapore without some Black pepper crab

Yeah it seemed a bit out of place in the heat

Hewso @hewso.bsky.social · 8d

Pils was a really good one. Perfect for the weather. The others were ok, not amazing but perfectly drinkable

Oh look... Found a brewery in Clarke Quay, Singapore....

It would be rude to pass it by right?

For sure. Later in the week would be ideal if that works for you

This time tomorrow, I will be about halfway to one of my absolute favourite places on the planet, Singapore.

I will then proceed to eat my body weight in Satay, Laksa, Claypot Chicken Rice and Pepper Crab.

I feel zero shame regarding these intentions.

Tymon was easily one of the nicest, most enthusiastic developers I have ever interviewed. His passion was contagious.

During the week, @hewso.bsky.social had the pleasure of chatting with Tymon Smektala, Franchise Director of Dying Light.

The result was a fascinating conversation that gave real insight into the making of and philosophies behind the hit open-world franchise.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian is one hell of a name for a game.

Luckily, Jason has one hell of a review for you.
