Kinda goofy news today, which is that I had to choose between my job of the past 6 years as a software engineer at the Times and my new co-op magazine newsletter Gourmet. I chose the latter!!
excited for the second half of my career to be making programming-inspired software

Steam is talking to me like an angry life coach

this post is going to radicalize me into a 100% sales tax
A third of the way through the Anachronox demo, the player encounters a hulking alien merchant. “My sorrow runs deep,” the merchant, whose name is Demonstrare, says. “I will only exist for the short duration of this demo. I do not exist in the full version. “Write the company. Tell them that you want me in the full version.” What Demonstrare, even with his curse of self-awareness, did not anticipate was that if anyone did ask Ion Storm to bring him over to “the full version,” it wouldn’t have mattered. The demo shipped on a disc stuck to the cover of a PC Gamer — where it shared space with now-forgotten
titles like Throne of Darkness and The Corporate Machine — four months after Anachronox itself had been released, and three months after Ion Storm’s parent company had shut down the studio. Demonstrare never made it to Anachronox. And while twenty-five years later the game can run on modern hardware, the demo does not. Demonstrare is gone. Recently, I asked Richard Gaubert, the writer of Anachronox, if the developers ever heard anything about Demonstrare. Gaubert didn’t even remember the character.

I built a web app for that area/puzzle to address the information density… of course my mind went there instead of “big paper”

you should put it in an emoji candle pentagram, that might help

thanks, now you've got me trying to figure out if there's a "knows how to deal with coworkers pooping their pants" joke that isn't too "Joined Nov '24"-coded
I get that they're using an external source for the categorization but CBS News and the Washington Post categorized as "Left-Leaning" is uhhh interesting
wow ; what a journey !!!! sweet !!!
I don't think I should have to not have a job any more. I just think that's wrong
genetically, of course, this means I tell the truth 25% of the time. or is it 75%
one was a guard that always told the truth, and the other a guard that always lied

I really liked this interview with Damon and Jamie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8UE... also wild to think about Damon being roughly as old now as Bowie was when he made Heathen and Reality
I would like a website where I don’t have to look at the president’s wounds
anyone want to come over? we can stand across from each other and do this
If you take a job that's too hard for you, don't kill yourself. Wait until you're bigger and stronger, then try again.
Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night
