Never forget. Only slightly less believable than the other MRP that said Labour would take Dumfriesshire AND Berwickshire but the SNP would take DCT.

Using Aseprite to create Desert Chrome gradients is very easy and very satisfying. Now to just select the perfect type face to apply it to.

I can totally understand where Cannon Fodder came from. The urge to say "forget this sportsball game I am making, lets add some guns" is pretty overwhelming. #love2d

Jonathan looked at the sample under the microscope, looked up at Sebastian and then looked down at the sample again.

"This is bad"
"It is very bad" agreed Sebastian
"Can it be contained?"
"If we have sufficient anti-glopring serum"

Periodically I ask ChatGPT this question "When was the last time England beat Scotland at Rugby" to gauge how it is doing as a general purpose information retrieval tool.

Through the years it has never, ever got this question correct. I'm impressed by how it keeps being wrong.
