   Sometimes, when the Unreal Engine editor in 5.7.4 decides to crash, it crashes your x instance, too.

   It's a complicated editor. No one understands it but its authors.

   I have noticed that a lot of games are starting to use custom dice.

   Idea sparked off when learning yet another Narrative Adventure game and noticed that it too had custom 6-siders.

   They're always d6. If you were doing custom dice in your game, why not use something other than d6? Is there some major price difference between using d6 versus another die type?

   8mm colored plastic cubes seem to be becoming the standard too.

   It is interesting seeing how the game components are changing.

   @inthehands for a while I went about trying to do things the docker way and used one of the docker-oriented hosting services and eventually decided it just doesn’t make sense. It feels like it’s trying to solve problems most people don’t have. At least at the personal-project level; but I also suspect for professional use too.

   It’s like microservices or something: not necessarily *never* useful, but people convince themselves it’s useful when it’s not, just because big tech likes it; and/or if it is useful in a particular case it may just be a sign of a deeper problem.

   @evan This isn't me throwing stones from a glass house.

   I'm descended from survivors of the Trail of Tears. The US's history with the natives is bloody and brutal too.

   It just strikes me weird to see "Together they deal with, and then managed, the indigenous peoples who lived here first" without an ounce of irony.

   @grimalkina Great thread, but I especially want to +1 this point.

   A lot of my success in running software teams comes from being very mindful about keeping people's psychological defense systems from kicking in.

   As soon as people get on the defensive, they are no longer working together to find the objectively best engineering solution -- you are fighting over semantic territory. We're hard-wired for it, when egos are threatened they will fight to win.

   But threatened minds are not open or curious. They aren't taking in new data, they are defending what they already know. Listening stops, synthesis stops, creativity stops. And team dynamics go to shit, too.

   It's not easy to get folks to engage and debate without feeling threatened, but it can be done. Takes a good amount of finesse at first, but if you can get it established as a cultural norm it can make magic happen.

   @Gargron @Bright5park @Mastodon so very very many times I've been disappointed by things shopping to US only. Vice versa happens too.

   It's sort of nice to see an EU-based somethingorother get popular enough stateside that they get sad when they can't get the merch delivered.
