Loading screens are boring 🥱 A fun little optimisation we're thinking about - we can strategically load assets while the user is menuing, if we can predict where they're going next. Frustration with waiting for loading is partly due to the fact that the user can't do anything while it's happening.

People who are mad that @bungie.net are charging money for Marathon instead of making it free to play really don't understand how business strategy works. #videogames #monetization #marathon

What a creepy little worm

First time player experience is very important to us at @bearwaves.com , which is why we are engaged in a competition to effectively communicate the rules of our game with weird little poems

Germany's "Staatsräson" could have been to never let something like the holocaust happen again - to ANYONE. Instead they decided it should mean unconditional support for one state, even if it means history repeating itself with a new victim.

"Don't worry, my dog is friendly" - means nothing to someone with a phobia - is too late when you've already let them off the lead to run at strangers - doesn't make the saliva that's now on my hands sanitary We don't know your dog, or you. Just keep it on a lead and under control.

If you happen to lose your mind and visit the US right now, remember: Always have the number of your embassy ready in case the cops kidnap you and refuse to tell your loved ones where you are.

Love how LinkedIn is just full of weird unemployed climate deniers simping over Musk and Trump at this point There is literally negative value in the social media side of that website

Supermarkets who, during Ramadan, put out special displays entirely consisting of dates sourced from the apartheid state of Israel - do you have no shame? We check them and we see you.

It's very obvious that the leader of "the only democracy in the middle east" will extend the conflict in Gaza as long as possible, to avoid having to hold an election which would likely oust him from power. The irony of one person being in power as long as him in a "democracy"

Lane discipline in the UK is genuinely really good compared to Denmark - all lanes on the motorway are empty except the middle here

This morning, during my commute to work: "I really need your help with something" I arrive to my desk and reply: "Sure, we can handle it now" *No response*

A personal reflection: While in a very bad mood: because you feel really bad, it also feels as if it should be very hard to get out of that mood. Otherwise, maybe it wasn't "valid" or "justified" to be so upset. So you push yourself to stay in that mood, despite knowing it's harming you.
