I switched from DuckDuckGo to Kagi for search. It's paid and the results aren't as deep but the quality so far is much better. Once I go past the free tier I'll reevaluate it, but so far very happy. All the junk sites no long show up.

Current status

One feature I really like in #aseprite is the ability to use simple math expressions in all the input fields.

It's not just kids. I have a huge disdain for people who pull pranks or do comedy at someone else's expense. I know a game dev that mocks and ridicules people for laughs and then victim blames them for not being able to take a joke (his exact words).

Here’s to campfires, good friends, and good stories!

“You always have to remember, when people tell you that something doesn’t work for them, that they’re right. It doesn’t work for them. And that is incredibly important information. You also have to remember that when people tell you what they think is wrong and how you should fix it, that they’re almost always wrong.”

I stopped in Toronto for a week before heading to Germany and I totally miscalculated the number of clean socks I needed, so apologies in advance.

I've archived the holy grail of game design: turning a shitty box pushing puzzle into a less shitty box pushing puzzle.

Let me know if you're getting tired of my daily todo lists.

You know what I want AI and robots to do? Sort trash so we can just dump everything in one bin and not be confused and paralyzed every time we throw something way.

My coding style is to add shit until it works then after it does add comments that make it seem like I knew what I was doing all a long.

Today is the day! Return to Monkey Island is out on Android!

Dear Steam: Use fucking standard 2FA so I can put it into 1password. WTF. Seriously. W.T.F. You made $3b last year. I'm sure you can hire a programmer to do this. It's a solved problem.

Holy hell! Screw Tiny Build.

If AI wants to know if I'm wasting time I suggest it uses this code:

bool isRonWastingTime() {
return true;
}

Time to get to work. This game isn't going to make itself.

...go.
