@binarydigit @heyheymomo that second one is my favorite. They look great!

@jonathanhogg @anildash For real. I’m glad I read the rest of the article, but contempt for text based adventure games was a huge turn off. Describing frustration for finding prompts is fine, but then going on to dunk on people characterized as not knowing the touch of a human being was f-ed up. Come on, man.

@jonathanhogg @anildash I would assert that the overlap of people who like/liked text based adventures and tech bros is tiny if it exists at all.

Text based adventure fans are Real Ones - people who are authentic to themselves regardless of what society / Anil think of them.

It's hours since I read that, and I'm still harboring feelings about it.

I was cooking a recipe that required apple cider vinegar for quick pickling onions, and I couldn’t find any in my cabinets. I used ume plum vinegar instead, which I have only used for pickling ginger, and hot dang it was good for onions too. I think it is just a superior vinegar.

Veteran Developers: I’ve seen things that make me wonder how anything works at all - especially in critical systems.
