Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

Watched Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein last night. I didn't remember much of the De Niro version, but it was interesting to have as reference for contrast. I thought this was gross and gorgeous and visceral and dreamy, though the latter third felt very rushed. Love that set design.

Been deep in the UI mines upgrading the Witch Words interface. 💬
I realised that a long list was going to be too clunky for constructing Phrases. So now we have this radial business, any Word is always 1 to 3 clicks away. Much snappier, for the working Witch. 🧹

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

The slow encroachment of degrees by people being willing to tolerate more and more generative AI in games and movies and more is incredibly frustrating to see, given that the line for what is "well it's just/only..." keeps creeping quietly towards more and more AI every day

I feel like everyone has that one regional specialty food that is constantly getting fucked up by other places and makes you feel insane and petty about it. For me it's seeing what other states have the gall to call a Cuban sandwich.

You ever find yourself struggling your way through a puzzle or something in a game for way too long than is probably intended and just think, "This cannot be the same brain I used to solve point-and-click adventure games without walkthroughs in the 90s."
