65, a scifi movie with Adam Driver is a flawed but good movie, I'm glad I didn't watched the trailer though, one of the most interesting things is something they spoil all over the promotional material.
opened YouTube and saw this, looks like EU is forcing Google to ask if we want our data to be shared across multiple services for ads purposes. Which probably no one wants.
@djlink It reads to me like "Hey, we're allowed to share data to Prevent Crime and have Interoperability, but the EU require us to ask consent to do the stuff that makes us the real money"
I don't want to get back to the old days of save points only in certain places, But these had a psychological effect "it's a feature" where it was such a relief to find them. you felt safe, accomplished, like tiny milestones, a lot of game design around these too.
A lot of businesses switched to Facebook as their “webpage” over the years and I feel that will be a problem for them in the long run. Discord communities moving from self hosted forums to discord is going to be the same eventually. Will be way harder to move them back to other stuff. Keeping both is always better.

I have a room graph set up but because of the way it carves rooms with a random walk, rooms can become connected apart from the graph. This is making locked doors and key an issue since the player can often sneak around locked doors. Not sure it's a real issue yet. It might play fine.
Yay! The Christmas season starts today & I love it.
I don't do religion & I don't do rampant consumerism, but I am here 100% for the sparkle. I live in Scotland, winter is dark, we need the extra sparkle.
And the Santa hats. I am SO here for the Santa hats. Bright red & fluffy, I mean.... come on.
Anyhow, I'm aware that it is not for everyone, so I am going to tag all my festive pics with #xmasScribbles so they're easy to avoid.
