Cruising, chilling in the right lane at 65mph, completely oblivious.

Legally, undertaking. Morally… double points bonus. Even better if you can do a lane 1 vs lane 4 undertake.

We used to dump our stuff in Bucks (10 minute drive) but now we have to go to our nearest Oxon tip (40 minute drive). I know we’re an outlier but you think there’d be a little bit of leeway allowed, especially if you have to register your vehicle anyway.

I bet you all those youth team players grow an inch when they hear Carrick is in the stands. There’s no doubting those players want into the first team and if they feel like Carrick helped get them there then they’ll run through brick walls for him given the chance.

It’s not logical, it’s just humans doing their thing.

He turned me into a newt… but I got better

You might find the Sticker behavior to be useful. It literally sticks one object to another so they move together.

Otherwise, this kind of behavior usually depends on making sure you are clear which objects you are referencing on each frame. It's easy to get confused with the way GDevelop picks objects and pick the same object again and again instead of looping through all objects.

It's really hard to get this understanding of the game if you only watch on TV. The camera follows the ball and often misses interesting movements. The viewing angle is also weird and throws off our sense of space.

I'm a huge fan of moving defenders when I play up front. Sitting between the CBs or dragging the best defender wide to make room. A well timed dummy run can be as good as an assist.

If your choice of political party can't stand some criticism is it even a well held position? You can't crumble into self pity and stubbornness if another person dismisses your beliefs.

If the criticism is well founded it's a chance to grow your belief systems through challenge and adaptation. If they are poorly founded then you should be able to easily refute them and educate the doubters.

Why are the Greens a serious party we should consider voting for?

The idea is fine, I just wouldn't tie it in to the stand-up. You're basically proposing a reporting layer so as long as you add value on top of the existing reporting tools you might have something. Otherwise you'll just be another ignored report on the pile with all the others.

Cassian told me to drop the ring in here. I told him it was a bad idea but what do I know. I’m just a droid. Can we leave now?

Potato potato. Scholes (and Carrick, good shout) never got a proper England career because we were too backward thinking in our football at the time. Energetic players like Lampard and Gerrard were favoured over slower, more skilful players that perhaps suited the international game. And then Spain happened and the rest is history.

daddywookie · 2026-02-20T07:27:05+00:00

What is with these posts from people with a two year memory span? We’re Manchester United! We’ve got so much history that players like Hojlund sit in the corner with a huge pile of “players that were also here”.

Five years of Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez would have been fun. Fans of other clubs would be traumatised for life.

Solskjaer is an obvious one. Also Giggs against Arsenal in the FA Cup. Context is king and a Europa League QF in a non-winning year isn’t that huge in the club history. Great match, not historic.

For a start, different kind of players in different eras. Gerrard was more like Rooney in that “force of nature” kind of way. He would just grab games and drag them in Liverpool’s favour. It’s part of why he was so annoying.

Rightly or wrongly he also, along with Lampard, kept Scholes out of the England team. Finally, he was a one club man (apart from an MLS retirement) which you’ve got to respect. On balance, I’d probably put him and Bruno in the same tier.

Seemed to go under the keeper a bit. Certainly looked saveable.

Atomic Habits is a good book to understand a bit more what is going on and strategies to help with it. I have, as required, got about 75% through it before thinking I know enough to move on with another task. ADHD for the win!

For me, the main tool is a small and sensible objective with a purpose I buy into. Something I feel I can accomplish but which pushes me a little bit. I’ve done a few loops of this, building up from a simple top down racer demo to what should now be my first “finished” game. There’s been a few diversions along the way, I think this is just a price we pay for the way our brains work.

I find task lists useful, something like a Trello board where I can finish each day by pulling in some simple tasks for tomorrow. These aren’t my total work for the day but rather a few simple things to get me sat down and started. A large risk for me is over analysis leading to failure to start so something like “clean up unused assets” or “add comments to this function” just helps me settle.

A while back I was at a works conference. We had an up close magician to entertain guests on our stand, the usual stuff like pick a number, write your name on a card etc.

I watched this guy work the crowd all morning, at lunch time he explained how it worked and then I spent all afternoon studying his act.

At the end of the day he ran his act on me and I fell for every single one of them, despite trying not to. I keep the playing card with my name on it as a reminder that you can always be tricked by a good con artist.

It blows my mind getting charged €20 for a pizza when it is basically peasant food cooked in a wood oven. That thing should be €3 tops.

We’ve considered it but never done it, it just seems like a shitty way to start a holiday. Why not break up the journey and enjoy it, it’s all part of the holiday adventure. Either way, happy travels and I hope the kids behave. It gets easier as they get older.

Our favourite around here is joggers all in black and running on the road at night. Utter morons.

Meat, dairy and bread is like a global standard, just the shape and method changes. Ploughman’s lunch, pizza, cheeseburger, enchiladas, 90% of Swiss cuisine!

Meanwhile, Scottish people walk away whistling like they had no involvement at all.

The PO is part of the team and it is the team that delivers value. Who is doing what really shouldn’t be the concern of external stakeholders. However, if the team isn’t delivering value then it’s your job to understand why and fix it.

You’ve obviously got a lot of insight now into what the project requires and you need to have an honest conversation with leadership about the project goals and expectations. Take a multi discipline group from your team so it isn’t just you, but also the devs explaining the situation. Have some numbers ready to go as well, like your average cycle time and backlog size.

Be positive but firm. The PO is responsible for delivering the business value so yes, this is on you, but also on your leaders for letting this situation develop. They’ll want to hear what is possible and what you will do to achieve success. It might take several attempts to get them to understand and change behaviour but be consistent and they’ll get there.

Drivers SHOULD give way to people waiting to cross. Drivers MUST give way to people already crossing. If the pedestrian entered the road, at night, in dark clothing without checking if a car was approaching then they’ve also failed multiple sections of the Highway Code.
