I can't access the chat feature in Bluesky suddenly, just because I traveled to the UK? How does this work? I can access age restricted stuff at home, and this setting is not tied to my account but to my location?

So the question is: shall I prove that I'm old, or that i'm not living in the UK?

How do you curse an int?

You cast a hex on it:

int x = static_cast(0xB00);

Good morning. If you are intimidated about starting that project you want to do because you don't think you're "ready" yet, remember:

I'm between jobs rn, which means I get to do whatever I want, right? Right?

I found a nice gamejam in this time frame, started some preparation. Then I got concerning news about my grandma. Jam cancelled.

Life is a bully sometimes. Having something in my hands just to get it slapped to the ground.

I just submitted my first game to a game jam. It was unfinished and broken, because I was in the hospital or recovering during most of the jam. The game is possibly even un-winnable as is. The mechanics are mostly there but no content is created with it.

BUT!

It is submitted.
The curse is broken!

I'll give you one better: In the last 20 years went from can't-art coder to definitely-shouldn't-art coder, and yet somehow maintained enough self-dignity and respect towards artists not to use that stuff.
I dunno who needs to hear this but,

I've spent the last decade gradually going from can't-art coder to hell-yes-I-art artist, and I can confidently state that I probably wouldn't have managed that if I'd gotten stuck in the "I'll just tell the AI what to draw for me" hole a lot of engineers are in

I feel like "under the weather" nowadays. Since the last few months, really. This isn't a "weather" anymore, more like "under the climate" smh.

Played EA games as a teen, became a fan, even made my own EA Sports shirt, dreamed about working there, read the EA_Spouse blog a few years later, got disillusioned, became a gamedev, ended up in AAA, studio got bought by EA in '21, got an official EA Sports shirt, studio got shut down a year later.
