Sunscreen is a sensory nightmare for me, so I mostly rely on UPF clothing (UPF = SPF but for clothes). It’s way better than just getting burnt!

Without sunscreen and with my skin type, it’s fine for 15 minutes according to Wolfram Alpha! 🫠

Edit: oh lol I didn’t realize it included temps on the left hand side, that’s in F rather than C.

If you’re a gay cop and want to be at pride off duty while dressed as a cop, you’re either malicious (I mean, cop, so that reads) or too stupid to be trusted with a gun. Which, again, cop, so that also reads.

oh fuck I’m late!

MRREEEOOOOW

Every name for these things is goofy as hell. Woodcock. Timberdoodle. Mudbat. Labrador twister.

It has the number of steps it does so that the pressure from the button holding your pants closed is evenly distributed over the fabric (and thread), so that nothing tears or rips. When sewing through cloth more points of attachment is generally better. You might be able to staple a button on without damaging the fabric over time, but it’s probably a lot less comfortable to wear than one sewn on.

Just attached a button to my pants yesterday, after the factory sewn button gave up.

Well I am death, none can excel

I’ll open the door to heaven or hell

Don’t get sucked 😱

Finally, socks for animators

The delivery attempt:

Holy shit, nice! Time to go back down the rabbit hole

I was going to recommend The Great Machine: A Fragment by Jonas Kyratzes (writer for The Eternal Cylinder and The Talos Principle, if you’ve heard of those), but it looks like it’s not on his website anymore :( It’s probably been close to 20 years since I played it, but I remember enjoying it. It’s about being a soldier in a war.

I wasn’t asking for personal information beyond whether or not you’re in or adjacent to the industry, or anything I hadn’t already shared myself, peace ✌️

Do you know people working in gaming or are you working in it yourself? Because “just ask for overtime and you’ll get it without any repercussions” absolutely doesn’t match the experience of anyone I know. Especially since people tend to jump from big studio to indie, not the other way around, for quality of life reasons.

It’s not like designers in big studios are just twiddling their thumbs waiting for the rendering engineers to finish the peach fuzz on people’s cheeks.

Okay! I don’t think that either. I think they’re underpaid and overworked like virtually everyone in the games industry and unable to put out quality products because of arbitrary deadlines. That kind of thing is much more common with AAA games (which studios don’t seem to know how to define either, given that now they’re going on about AAAA and AAAAA games) than it is with indie games.

Graphics are cool! I just also think the story, mechanics, and game difficulty balance should have an equal amount of consideration, which seems poorly lacking in a lot of modern AAA games. A mile wide and an inch deep is a saying for a reason.

That wasn’t the original experience on Xbox? 😜

No problems for me on Tesseract, this post or previous ones.

I’d like a smocking gun… doing it by hand is tedious!
