Hoje eu li uma notícia de que o ataque russo em Kiev na manhã de hoje tinha deixado um milhão de casas sem luz, mas que a empresa de energia já tinha conseguido restabelecer a luz pra 500 mil delas. Fica o registro de que a ENEL restabelece energia mais devagar que uma empresa numa ZONA DE GUERRA

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:

Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.

Make. Friends.
Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

Biggest gaming pet peeve: PAUSE is an important fucking function. It shouldn’t mean “skip this cutscene,” it shouldn’t mean “blast music louder than normal gameplay,” it should fucking pause the game—no matter what the game is doing—and unpause right there when pressed again. Even during cutscenes.

"it is striking how many of the key players we have looked into — the people who have gone out of their way to put up hundreds of flags — seem anything but ordinary."

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

What exactly is the point of a country that doesn't care for the health and well-being of the people?
It should be the country's duty to educate and promote health.
Because people ARE the country.
Investing in them elevates the country as a whole.
We all benefit from empowerment.

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.
