Y'all know “yak shaving”, right?

Imagine a scenario where there's a “proper” way to do a thing, every step documented, tested and signed off – and there's also a way to do the same thing which is swift, effective, and will probably hurt.

I propose this be known as "yak waxing".

I just spent an hour making a video to support a bug report in the tool that I was trying to use to capture a screenshot of the original bug that was stopping me from doing my work.

How's your day going?

The entire series was delightful.
one of my favorite puzzle games as a kid, The Incredible Machine 3, had the best and most annoying puzzle game music I have ever experienced

not a lot of video games have the guts to throw in lyrics; the incredible machine 3 (1995, ms-windows) dares to dream

A pet peeve of mine in games is the slow dialog speed. Especially if it can't be automatically completed with a mouse click. I wish all games that show any dialog had the option to show texts instantly.
