I'll accept 0.05% of the blame for that mess. Can you believe it was even worse 13 years ago? At least it works... mostly.

You are truly blessed to have such cuteness in your life.

Yes, but because it's a one time payout, it will force us into the highest tax bracket for the year. Thus, the US Treasury will be the the real beneficiary of the sudden stock price jump. And many EA stockholders actually lose potential long term value.

Including relativistic effects? So, your "age velocity" grows asymptomatic toward the speed of light? Can we express it like "99.992 % of c", or do we squabble over units (metric vs imperial)?

Let's keep that momentum on the way to front-runner.

Awesome! I'm not far behind at 38 years. In some ways, it doesn't feel like it has been that long of a career. But it also feels like it was more than a lifetime ago when I got my first programming job. Perception of time is weird.

So... cable TV.

Often true. I've had some bugs that were so funny they made me ROTFL.
Other times, the bugs are a neon-colored seizure-inducing flicking mess.
Either way, my dogs join me on the floor and roll with me.

And don't forget about the crucial discovery of the cross-entropy function for determining loss. How else could we possibly know when they failed?

LoL. I couldn't even write that with a straight face.

Yeah, that view is wonderful. Interestingly, I have the opposite experience with my flights to Chicago. I usually loop over the lake. Maybe that's because I'm coming from Columbus, OH, so it makes sense to put the landing approach pattern over the lake.

So, you're saying there's a way... if you cheat.

Likewise. This huge jump in cost makes it unaffordable.
July 18, 2025 at 5:49 PM
Yeah. Getting into room 46 was the tutorial. Now, welcome to the real game.

Just one?
Three and counting, plus a large sheet dedicated to a specific purpose.

Nice! But what are you expecting to do with 70 keys? There aren't that many normal locks in the game, and you can't keep them (usually) for future runs.

Miracles happen.
I made a small fortune as a successful AAA developer, invested it in a diversified stock portfolio, and then co-founded an indie studio 7 years ago. I live off stock dividends, and pay for my own health insurance. But I have yet to prove that I can be a successful indie developer.

Well, you can change their rarity... By getting lucky and stumbling into another rare room. However, when you change rare rooms to be more common, you effectively make common rooms a bit more rare. It can be a brutal tradeoff

I could watch vortex shedding all day long. Mesmerizing!
