One of the nice things we still have is new music discovery. Today for me it's South Arcade and How 2 Get Away with Murder. Y2KCORE indeed.

Genuinely not sure if Git worktrees actually makes things better or worse when working on multiple features. It's nice to have a little tool support, but things like `node_modules` having to be installed in each tree makes it a bit clunky.

Very late to the party, but quite enjoying Wet Dream by Wet Leg. Music video is suitably unhinged too.

For various reasons it's been ages since I've used my DT-990s to listen to music. Quality headphones really do make a difference. So much more ... depth? ... to the sound coming out of them compared to the Jabra headset I usually end up using out of laziness...

The latest gaming discourse has reminded me that Amiga Power existed. Fond memories of reading the oftentimes snarky reviews. I wonder what happened to some of the writers like Stuart Campbell... <goes to Wikipedia> ... oh... oh no.

It's been a while.
Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

LLM agent prompting is cursed. The recommended wrapper for handoffs politely asks the agent not to mention the handoff:
"Transfers between agents are handled seamlessly in the background; do not mention or draw attention to these transfers in your conversation conversation with the user."

1000xResist is excellent so far. Only a couple of chapters in but wow, it goes places.
Only downside is I now feel I have to sign off my emails with "Hair to Hair"...
