kotaku was profitable for almost its entire pre-G/O existence, raking in 20-40 million unique visitors a month on a relative shoestring budget (6-15ish people, vs competitors with dozens or even 100s of staff).

Got two grades back in the last few days - firsts in both of them. Every time I get a good result back I feel so validated in all the hard work I'm putting in. Four assignments left this semester 💪 I can do it!!! Though I literally don't know how I'm going to approach one of them...

Sure fire way to tell a place of employment won't respect you or your time: they have you upload a CV and then ALSO manually input all your employment history, education, and other details into an online form. Absolutely fuck off with that.

Played another game of Ark Nova today with Matty. It's such a fantastic 2 player game. I used the Artificial Intelligence alternative map for the first time and I think it might be really fucking powerful. Also got to enjoy our new Folded Space insert, make putting the game away very smooth.
