Ran into an interesting phenomenon just now: broken text formatting caught my attention and actually made me read part of a terms of service documentation.
Also apparently Microsoft is "quite relaxed about what you do" with Halo.
A screenshot of Halo terms of service in Steam. The text has line breaks that cause sentences to be cut off in incorrect areas, causing a lot of unused space.

Dear WebEx: there's probably a better place to put two round icons
A screenshot of a dialog asking "how was the meeting?" Below the text are stars to rate the meeting and an line art image of a user's profile with two round icons for microphone and camera below. The round icons are positioned on the chest of the user.

Wiped my screen because I thought there was some dust - instead, I discovered this very important button on Amazon has a bunch of broken styling under the hood and there's some extra text being cut off.
This is the curse of being a #webdeveloper
A screenshot of a checkout section on an Amazon.com cart - the "proceed to checkout" button has some extra dots below the text. A screenshot of the same section as the previous image, but with dev tools allowing some text to be displayed. Here, we can see that the dots are actually the text "Check out Amazon Cart" below the main button text, mostly cut off.

Can you believe this is hand made?!

#StarWars #Trash #Garbage #Compactor #Monster #Puppet
A screenshot of a Facebook Marketplace listing for a "Handmade Star Wars Garbage Compactor Monster Puppet." By the pictures it appears to be a painted sock with some extra fabric wrapped around.

🤔 If you open a PDF in #GoogleChrome, you can see the same icon used for two different purposes: one in the main toolbar to show your downloads, and another to download the PDF you're viewing.
Both icons could make sense individually, but next to each other this is obviously a silly #UX mistake.
A screenshot of the top right area of Google Chrome, showing the main toolbar on top with an open PDF's toolbar beneath. Both toolbars contain an icon with an arrow pointing into a bin, but serve two different purposes.

Of course the #DollarGeneral actually exists, too... and it's by the same creator. <3

I love game mods, because who wouldn't want a Long John Silver's in their Cities: Skylines city?

Now where's my Dollar General?

Let's just hope this @americanexpress.bsky.social offer keeps going up by 10,000 miles per every 22 minutes
A screenshot of two emails from American Express offering bonus miles. The newest offer reads "your 100,000 bonus miles offer is here." The older email only offers 90,000 miles. There are only 22 minutes between the emails.

How silly of me to forget the #ChronoTrigger soundtrack had a 1 hour and 17 minute pop song mix in the middle.
A screenshot of a playlist for the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. One of the songs is a 1 hour 17 minute long pop song mix with a Taylor Swift thumbnail.

This #physics golf demo for #Tinker is taking shape! Tinker offers support for the #RapierPhysics library, which gives amazing features like automatic collider generation.
Here we compare how trimesh and hull colliders work on the scene.

#threejs #3d #gameengine #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev
A screenshot from the 3D game engine Tinker, showing automatic trimesh collider generation. In the center of the image is a golf course with many yellow lines drawn on top indicating a high polycount mesh has been generated for the collider. A screenshot from the 3D game engine Tinker, showing automatic hull collider generation. In the center of the view is a golf course, overlaid with several yellow lines, indicating a low quality but faster implementation of collider generation.

Ready for some golf?
✅Rapier Physics
✅Howler Audio
✅Kenney minigolf assets
✅ThreeJS

This is a shot of a demo from #Tinker, a #ThreeJS powered scene editor and engine similar to #Unity.

I am excited to share more in the future!

Okay but why does this power outage map after a tornado make me want to play Cities: Skylines? (and accidentally starve the entire city of power because I spent too much money on a monorail)
#PowerOutage #CitiesSkylines #tornado #monorail
A screenshot of a map showing power outages. It is a satellite view of a city, with greenery on the outskirts and the heart of the city in the center. Many icons (maybe around 50) of a power symbol are littered around the city.

A screenshot of the Netflix TV series "I Think You Should Leave." The image shows Tim Robinson in an office, sitting at a desk with a confused expression at what he sees on his monitor. The caption reads "That one egg was 40 eggs?"

#Apple is typically known for their stunning design work, yet once again #WWDC is poorly branded as VVVDC. 🙄

I'm not sure I expect anything special to come from #WWDC25 given they haven't really innovated on the #iPhone in several years, but one can hope there are some good updates to #iOS.
The wordmark for Apple's WWDC25 which reads "VVVDC25."

Today's tinkering was focused on audio. Now you can test and preview files, complete with waveform preview!

#javascript #howlerjs #gamedev
A screenshot of an application. An active tab reads "Resource Explorer." On the left is a list of files with an audio file selected. On the right is a small audio player with a waveform on top and controls on the bottom.

Tinkering on destructuring GLB/GLTFs into subcomponents. So far, everything's looking great!

#threejs #typescript #javascript #webgl #3d
A screenshot showing a tab titled "Resource Explorer." On the left is a list of files. On the right is a graph with several nodes: a texture with bold colors, a material definition, details about the model, and a preview of the model.

Why? Why did I have to notice this slight difference in the #Chrome #devtools that will now haunt me?

Red squares added for clarity - gap between the blue underline on the top, no gap on the bottom.
A screenshot of Chrome's dev tools. Two rows have identical content, the words "layer base." "Base" is underlined and blue. A red square underneath the word "base" in both lines highlights a difference in positioning of the text.

The one in Photoshop is rendered super jagged. Can't imagine how deep the bad code for this feature runs!

Had the pleasure of kayaking a few miles through a local lake and one of its tributaries yesterday. As a good neighbor and founder of a #Missouri #StreamTeam, I always try to pick up trash I may find. This place is beautiful and I'm happy to help keep it that way.
Do your part to take out the trash.

Reminds me of this fake BSOD that made its way around Reddit a while back.
A blue screen with a sad face emoji at the top (similar to the Windows error screen) with the text "Oopsie Woopsie! Uwu We made a fucky wucky!! A wittle fucko boingo! The code monkeys at our headquarters are working VEWY HAWD to fix this!"
