Sometimes I pick up my with an awesome sounding solo in my head

And it comes out as just random noodling in blues scales

Oh I'm still enjoying myself, don't worry, but it makes me glad I don't do this for a living

Matt Farrah of The Smoking Tire gave an honest and (therefore) devastatingly negative review of the . Good on him. Every point he makes is spot-on (except maybe the chuckle-inducing post-Apocalypse truck argument).

@drahardja TIL The USA has no pedestrian impact safety standards.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

Yeah 6-string guitars are fine, and 7- and 8-string guitars are better, but how we make our new band sound REALLY heavy?

"instead of 6-string guitars they use 110-string hammered dulcimers"

... perfect.

Feeling especially nostalgic for the '90s right now.

Everything seemed better back then. The way it was supposed to be.

Maybe it's just looking back at being a child which feels this way?

@drahardja The engineering of the LFA is impeccable but I wish I liked the styling more. It looks like a Lexus. That's fine but I want an $800k car to look like a Zonda.

@drahardja I agree. A Ford Mustang Boss 302 on the road is automatically far cooler than any hypercar spending its life in a climate-controlled garage.

@thomas Lemmy is a thing, but while it technically works, sadly the communities on there are mostly empty or full of negativity and bad vibes..

The slow collapse of downtown commercial real estate is continuing. I suspect news like this, and stories about the decline of retail around downtowns that depend on daily commuter traffic will come in at faster and faster rates.

Workers are not returning to the office to work. and are showing to be a perfectly viable solution that is more friendly to workers. Even with hybrid work, the volume of people commuting is far lower than it used to be.

is slowly declining to a new, lower-value equilibrium.

@drahardja Perhaps those with a stake the value of downtown and commercial real estate should lobby to increase the availability and quality of public transportation.

It'd sure be a lot easier to go to the office if it was a comfortable ride unaffected by traffic. And offices would need far less parking.

Eh, it won't happen. But it would make sense.

Well boys, just booked my first flight ever. It will happen on Monday.

I’m kinda nervous 😅 I’m not afraid of dying on it, but I’m honestly only scared of…getting sick. That, to me, is a fate worse than death 😵‍💫

@davidbures If you get nervous, look out the window. It helps.

Also during take off and landing expect some odd vertical movements. That's just the flaps extending and retracting which changes how much lift the plane generates. Nothing to worry about.

Dang, I just realized it's been about 5 years since I was working on shipping a game. That time went fast. No surprise, but game dev tech is a lot more fun when the pressure is off!

@anji@metalhead.club avatar

@demofox Yep. 8 years for me soon. Years do go by quickly.

I miss working on games to be honest. But like you it seems, I find satisfaction in other aspects of working on games/graphics tech.

@demofox Soon I'll get to play the last game I worked on, running on the latest GPU I worked on.

It is an amusing concept :)

While you waste your time reading my shitpost,
I enjoy listening to a great gothic-doom band: The Gathering.
They're new (to me) and I enjoy every second.

I wish I had a better way with words.

Somehow I frequently manage to write or say something which in hindsight is not quite what I wanted to convey.

    @demofox I was mildly obsessed with it for a while. Got one of the late-game seals and then never returned to it. Great game, though the RNG can sometimes be a bit harsh.
