Two things can be true:

1) Nobody has a right to prevent/stop others' behaviour that they find upsetting.

2) It is polite to refrain from behaviour that upsets others, at least in their presence.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think the sound mixing in Chris Nolan movies is terrible. He tries so hard to make it grandiose with thumping base tones that half the time I can't understand what anyone is saying.

@Wolven This is what happens when we spend thousands of years using community to reject evolution 🤷‍♂️

Let mother nature make her corrections, I say.

@squipo Lol, correct, it is a single word wrapped to multiple lines and I didn't like how it looked with the hyphen. The saving grace is that the tooltip properly displays it as one word.

@Hexa I did originally have that (and ears for earrings), but then I decided to remove them since, due to the art style, they wouldn't be visible on the characters and this is a non-magic setting so they also wouldn't be functional.

Do I have enough inventory slots? #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame

Wait, are the movies Fight Club and Barbie opposite sides of the same coin, or have I been awake too long again?

Outright villainous. If your business model relies on deceiving your customers, you shouldn't be in business.

@rysiek Except it's worth noting that your manager is probably just as screwed as you are.

When they say they can't afford a raise for you at this time, what they really mean is "Executive management gave themselves a bonus and froze my payroll budget."

@blitter ?!?

Isn't it weird how, when you get good enough at programming, that you can press build and know immediately whether it will succeed or failed without looking at the results?

Intuition is the freakiest of our senses.

"We need to fly through a dusty desert atmosphere!"

"Okay, no problem, I'll build a craft with four non-fixed vibratey wings that expel ten times the energy of a rotor or propeller, are much more likely to cut bystanders in half, and have multiple joints exposed to the harsh wear-and-tear of the endless sand."

"That sounds terrible. Why would you do that?"

"Because it will look cool!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

My god those dragonfly ships in Dune are stupid and impractical.

Powerlessness / Letting go.

Thinking about making a phone app where I can log my meat consumption and get an alert every time I've eaten a whole animal.

Would also work with vegetables, I suppose. "You ate 0.37 acres of lettuce in salads this year."

Nailed that UI, Google. Totally functional. 🤦‍♂️
