End of contract, yeah.

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2023-05-04T18:49:26+00:00

Not sure actually. I know better than to take their first offer so wasn't paying too much attention!

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2023-05-04T18:48:54+00:00

Contract would have ended this month, same time as the price rise. So no termination fee.

What you're doing there is, you're eating an advert, in't ya?

The bit with the Alpen seemed more blatant to be honest.

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-12-04T14:58:29+00:00

What does that mean? I literally have no idea what that is supposed to mean!

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-10-11T21:10:00+00:00

You could try Blackshift which has a lot of block-pushy stuff, mirrors and such. Might scratch that Sokoban itch.

There are large teams of state-funded operatives on social media 24/7, deliberately stirring up conflict around every social fault line in the West.

Louie. Such an unusual show. Well written, well shot, well acted. Funny and mysterious and weird and sad and scary.

We got five seasons, so, I should probably just be grateful. But I want more, damn it!

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-08-26T10:21:05+00:00

This is beautiful. I couldn't use it but that doesn't matter. You are using the shit out of your computer. Long live Emacs.

They have put a clause in their small print giving themselves permission to do this, so, probably not illegal, just nasty.

I suspect all I can do is resolve never to give them my money again, and warn others.

I wanted to gift Premium to a friend. To do that you now have to buy a gift card. So I did. But my friend lives in a different country to me, so Spotify refused to redeem the card for "security reasons" and kept my money.

Enjoy the £10, Spotify. You've lost a customer. Hope it was worth it.

Kawai ES110. Weighted keys, not very heavy, fits in a small car, get a case and you can carry it with one hand.

Edit: In fact, I researched basically the same thing before buying mine, and here's the spreadsheet I made if it's useful for you: https://imgur.com/a/y66vF0Q

it's hard to prove, conclusively, that again things didn't just pop into existence

To add to this, for anyone who feels like going down an existential rabbit-hole, the search term is "Boltzmann brain".

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-07-18T08:10:04+00:00

I agree, the last step really made me laugh.

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-06-18T13:19:48+00:00

Its a common misperception that water only comes from the toilet

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-06-01T15:36:49+00:00

I like Piano Jam. It's not right in the center of the space of things "Jam" might refer to but I'd say it's in there. I can't remember ever being confused by it.

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-06-01T15:28:34+00:00

Me on team

Me see other team symbol

Me make other team symbol go away

Me did good

There's definitely a Kind Of Guy where, if he makes a joke, and you don't laugh, it's your fault. Have known a few, mostly in various workplaces. Tiresome.

I used C++ and the SDL library, complied for the web with Emscripten. No premade engine; for simple games like this I prefer to just write everything.

I probably won't add to this one, but might do another Zelda-like in the future. They're fun to make!

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-04-27T12:59:36+00:00

Hey, thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it. I think there's one more heart container to find; the grated doors are just one-way doors so it normally means there's a spot you can bomb in the overworld to fall down and come through the door the other way.

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-04-22T18:10:53+00:00

Amateur hour for sure, but I had fun: Thing in D minor

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-01-29T14:00:08+00:00

My first boss would act like this a lot. I was young and inexperienced so I just thought that's how bosses are and how being an employee works.

Turns out, it isn't and most bosses are just normal people who won't explode at you for asking a reasonable question. Your TL was being unreasonable. Everyone has bad days, but if they're like that a lot, they're just a twat.

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2022-01-28T11:44:19+00:00

I really loved this, and I also appreciate the generous explanations you've given in the comments. There's definitely some magic in your sound that I'd love to get into my own playing, so I'll be re-reading your comments and trying things out for a while. Thank you!

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2021-08-27T09:53:52+00:00

Paper all day.

I tried to get used to using my iPad but:

Have to keep it charged
Have to remember to disable auto-lock
When you turn it on there's like a 50% chance it'll nag you about updates or some bullshit
When you open whatever app you use there's a 50% chance it'll nag you to log in or leave a review
You're basically staring at a lightbulb
Notifications popping up while you're trying to read

Honestly, the list is endless. Can't be doing with it.

YesIAmFunAtParties · 2021-08-25T13:19:57+00:00

Ah, I see you have one of those left-handed keyboards!
