@tashasounart it's exactly why I quit my formal job 20 years ago, my son is non-verbal and wouldn't easily be able to tell us if he was being neglected or abused. Luckily now I'm employed as his personal support worker through my state's Medicaid so it worked out in the end
It's charming that my mom still cuts out articles from a magazine and mails them to me in an envelope complete with name and address written in neat cursive.
Was at Disneyland for the last couple days for the Pixar Place Hotel opening (will share photos soon) but the cutest/best part of my trip was when my son went with me on Indiana Jones and when the ride ended, he burst into applause. 😍 #Disneyland
Looking at a picture of a spiny starfish
My kid: "You can't touch."
Me: "No, you don't want to touch that."
Kid: "Game over." #parenting#autism#videogames
@tashasounart did you read the recent news that they determined that the sea star's whole body is basically a head crawling facedown everywhere? Freaky stuff
I keep discarding book keeping systems like tissue paper, wondering how on earth anyone makes these things work long term.
Intuit? Jesus, it tied itself in knots after a year.
Zoho? Seems good at first, but if your feeds from your accounts EVER BREAK, that's it. Fixing them again is functionally impossible. You're expect to hand edit to fix any missed transactions, and it's even odds whether reconnecting the feeds will also corrupt the entire history.
I just. I don't get how any of these things stay in business.
All the while, I'm thinking "Quicken worked better than any of these, and you just bought it once forever."
Is there anything like Quicken/etc out there still? Not online, no bank connections, just rules that filter transactions and you import the statements manually. I'm fucking done. This entire industry has rotted over the last decade, and I don't think there's any functional options left. Any online option that works today will stop working by the end of the year because That's The Biz.
@glassbottommeg along with Homebank, there's also GnuCash and KMyMoney, they've both been around a while, I haven't used any of them for a while since my finances are pretty basic and my bank has a decent enough website
Random game dev tip! I know it's extremely specific, but it took me two games to fully internalize it.
If in 2D, player aims with a thumbstick, hide the aiming line completely when they center the stick.
Otherwise, many players will not realize they can adjust their aim with the thumbstick without re-centering it every time. They'll frustratedly keep flinging and flinging the stick until aim line points perfectly.
Yes, I promise this is very common. I've done tons of playtesting to solve this
@Nifflas ASA is like Kinect Party on the Xbox 360 - the best use of the peripheral for that console and the only reason I keep those respective consoles
