Any recommendations for new mobile games that are worth checking out (and aren’t “free to play” slot machines)?

Feels like literally years since the App Store was a good place to discover new games.

So far, posting a job on LinkedIn has been precisely as horrible as I’d feared. 300 applicants so far, only 2 of which live in Northern Ireland (which the job posting states as a requirement).

95% of the applicants are based in India or Pakistan, along with 100% of the dozens of folks DM-ing and emailing me (although half of them are agencies). To be clear, I’d be delighted to hire someone with that background — if they live in Northern Ireland.

Finding myself using 0.1s for CSS hover transitions… I’ve always used 0.2s but 0.1s feels snappier while still softer than no transition.

Bricolage Grotesque is lovely (and free). Suspect we’ll be seeing it everywhere pretty soon

@commercial are there any plans for a variable version of Atlas Grotesk in the short/medium term?

Kinda wish Mastodon had "reactions" to posts... find myself resorting to stars as a generic acknowledgement, when I'd much rather give someone a 👍 / 😂 / ❤️

I was today years old when I realised saying something is “the bees knees” is just saying it’s “the business” with an accent

Signed up to threads. Hit “follow all”. Saw some posts from people I know. Refreshed the home feed and it got instantly filled with posts from people I don’t know that Meta thinks I’d really like to follow.

Checked for an “only people I follow” option, unsuccessfully.

Closed threads. Opened Mastodon.

Just completed Dungeons of Dreadlock: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1560875528

Can’t remember when I last “completed” a mobile game, really enjoyed it.

Thanks to @bastianallgeier for the rec!

Along with approximately half the planet I finally scratched the Northern Lights off the bucket list last night, though this doesn’t do them justice. What a show.
