Final Fantasy Tactics is enjoyable so far, but I find targeting and moving to be frustrating. The camera only rotates at 45 degree angles, has only two (nearly identical) zoom levels, and the trees and other props block the characters. There’s a lot of QoL improvements to be made here.

The Last Judge has beat me so many times that my greatest #Silksong accomplishment is speedrunning the walkback. I’ve done it slightly faster than this with favorable wind.

Finally beat Moorwing in Silksong after well over a dozen attempts.

This is great reporting on the development of #Silksong! I think @teamcherry.bsky.social downplays how not using PM tools slowed them down. Only so much info can be kept in your head or on a whiteboard. Documenting the who, what and why of tasks allows even the smallest team to move more quickly.

Are you really an #engineer if you haven't unlocked this @github.com achievement?

I've really been enjoying the daily @linkedin.com puzzles. They're a great way to start the workday, and they keep you coming back with these nice stats!

After an hour of refreshing the page and clicking buttons, I was finally able to register my family for the #NintendoSwitch2 Experience! Now let's hope that I get tickets.

It's an error-prone process, so keep trying until you're registered!
