Good article by @im.giovanh.com about a "cozy" airport security game.

I'm not really superstitious about anything, except the computer, which must be restarted if it has been on too long, to cleanse it of bad or negative energies

Finally finished 428: Shibuya Scramble over the weekend and MAN what a cool game
It's a bummer that the 'live action visual novel' aesthetic seems doesn't seem to have been replicated much since then, it worked surprisingly well

feels like one of the main divides in how people view ai is the reaction to its ingratiating servile tone. when ai is like "ouhhhh i'm so sorry i got that wrong sir, let my try again, you were right my liege" tech guys are like "i like this" instead of "what the fuck is wrong with you"

If you're hiring for Java/PHP/Rust jobs (or have any leads on companies that are), please drop me a DM or hit me up at www.linkedin.com/in/joe-clay!
Ideally remote, but hybrid is cool too as long as it's near-ish to Sheffield.
