Excellent marketing, to be honest. When you get gold like this review, milk it! 😊

This is not the most effective way to moderate a steam forum. This just gives trolls what they want, attention and reaction from you.

Post clear pinned rules on what gets a ban.

Delete trash, Ban easy, place nothing in the 'why you were banned' message.

Trolls get nothing.

I am not even anti-AI but watering down of knowledge and the perpetuation of hallucinations is definitely a problem, and something everyone should be aware of.

Also, @kurzgesagt.org is awesome.

I walked into the lounge last night to find my teenage son watching this. We have long admired @kurzgesagt.org and found their videos to be extremely illuminating. But this one in particular I think is so important right now!

Still finding folks randomly from the old bird place. Once again highlighting the danger of only connecting with people on a single, 3rd party platform.

Important work item for all #gamedev is time set aside for rumination. This often involves stepping away from the screen, perhaps even the touching of grass.

Every Monday, we have a team building session at @chroniclersoftware.com. It’s usually just watching a movie that has inspired our game in some way, but next week we are watching a movie that has inspired our studio culture.

I’m very excited for that one!

100% my favorite album of all time.

Dr. Damien P. Williams Wants A Better Sociotechnical Paradigm @wolvendamien.bsky.social · 13d

Happy 30th birthday to David Bowie's atemporal cyberpunk neonoir murder mystery concept album— an amazingly deft exegesis of the early dream & burgeoning pre-millennial zeitgeist nightmare of the mid-late 90s internet; an album which also somehow proves more prescient by the day.

If you’re the type of person who always does last minute cleaning before having anyone over, here’s a pro tip: don’t get a vaccine booster the day before you plan to do all that cleaning. 😣

It's shocking how many of our problems would evaporate if we just treated each other with kindness.

Um, on second thought, I think I’ll have the ranch dressing.

Thousand Island Dressing causes the arch angels to weep noxious n-dimensional vapours that smother the higher concept of salvation, damning all mortals to eternal wandering on the lower planes of existince whilst making a slight gagging noise and having anal leakage.

I need more Bob’s Burgers in my life. That show is like medicine for the soul.

One of the best WFH tips I have is: put a small white board where you can see it and use it for things you need to be reminded of.

Note: this only works if you remember the “use it” part. Maybe make that the first thing you write on it.

Rasmus Rasmussen @rasmusrasmussen.com · 22d

Yes to all of this. I think it also ties into the general state of the world. Uncertainty and things beyond control can make ADHD symptoms worse.

"When you're coming back to work while still recovering, and you need to catch up on everything, be slow and unapologetic about it."

My better half reminded me of this, as I was freaking out about having missed a few days. The ideal is to hit the ground running, but on crutches? Walking is fine!

This is the kind of news I like to see.

Ancient organisms may have left microscopic "biosignatures" on Mars. That's according to NASA scientists, who say a rock sample offers the most concrete proof yet that the red planet once hosted life.
