It seems I replaced smoking with Blue Prince. So far this is going quite well, except for the intense withdrawal I feel when I’m not playing Blue Prince. Not entirely sure how I’m going to cope when I run out of game to play but I reckon I’m at least a week off that being a problem that needs solving.

We’re hiring at Demand Logic for various flavours of engineer, cloud infrastructure, web front end, and IoT. IoT is clearly my favourite because you get to plug boxes into huge buildings and pretend you’re in Hackers, but they’re all good. 4 day work week at full pay, remote friendly (probably within the UK because of employment law), and we make money by reducing big companies CO2 emissions.
Where would you buy shoelaces for a pair of walking boots from that isn’t Amazon? I keep looking in shops for some and coming up blank.
In an attempt to give up vaping I’ve switched to nicotine spray. So far it’s working through of virtue tasting like I’ve sprayed deodorant directly into my mouth, really makes me consider whether I want nicotine that badly.
Finished The Last of Us Part 1 this evening, which I’d been putting off until I had a decent chunk of time because I knew I was near the end, only to find I had 15 minutes of it left. Anyway, what a game that is, genuinely moving in places, gorgeous to look at, and the sound design is some of the best I’ve heard in a game.
@jasongorman the but being unsaid here is “incentive to work in crappy jobs”. UBI means having to pay an actual wage for cleaners and shelf stackers, rather than redirecting that money to shareholders.
@gwagner the company’s statement on this is quite astonishing corporate weaseling as well, acting all surprised that people would think a product labelled “a paper bottle” might believe it was in fact a paper bottle. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56687585
I was just surprised to see a photodiode emoji had been added, and trying to decide what it meant as a reaction to a Discord post. Turns out it’s a salt cellar and my brain is broken. 🧂
If you’re into games and somehow haven’t watched any Noclip you should stop what you’re doing and do that instead. They’re the antithesis of the usual game videos on YouTube, where everyone else is looking for controversy and things to hate Noclip are out there bringing out the love that gets poured into making great games.
