I, too, think tens of thousands of people should go to prison because sometimes I smell something I don't like

Ever see a famous chunk of shakespeare language performed by someone who understands and clearly communicates its meaning so it actually does kinda seem like a person is thinking it up as you watch

hello. please look at this incredible list of authors whose craft advice you can get for less than $20. I’m in this and still completely amazed by how good the quality is

More urgent than ever to dump Windows for Linux this year, if you’re able (yes not everyone is). My main advice is to start toying around with Linux sooner than later, so you feel more ready when stakes get more dire. I strongly wish I had started years ago, but next best time is now.

Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.

Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.

The reason why some people think the New York Times is a liberal paper is because in like 1986 a far right wing talk radio simpleton called the New York Times a liberal paper. Most American political thought is based on scenarios like this

Don't print lies in the newspaper. That doesn't just mean in the news section. The opinion section, which benefits from less urgency, demands *more* stringent honesty in both making sure the authors are saying what they actually mean and telling the truth about factual assertions.

I agree with this so much. This results in many studios bodging it, implementing something without narrative input or shoving things in late. It's also very frustrating when mentoring new narrative designers because there's no one place to direct them to learn.

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.

In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.

This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

Just a few weeks ago, all these European powers spoke of the threat that the US now presents to Europe. They talked about the possibility of Trump attacking Greenland, like it was an imminent and existential danger. Now Trump unilaterally bombs Iran and they all fall in lockstep

i think ive paid gabe newell more from the proceeds of my games than i've paid the government, but gabe doesn't pave my roads or fund my schools or feed the kids in my community

probably a few overdue conversations to be had about maybe paying less gabes before we pay less taxes or something

‘Is university still worth it?’ is the wrong question The graduate earnings premium isn’t really measuring what most people think

Turns out (says @jburnmurdoch.ft.com) it's not so much an oversupply of graduates in the UK (the same would be true of other similar countries but it's not) as an undersupply of the kind of jobs that a better-performing, more productive economy would supply.

Such a good piece today from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com which shows that the declining graduate premium is very much a UK problem rather than a general (or inevevitable) consequence of more people going to uni www.ft.com/content/649d...

underground art is important (and important to ME personally) but a world where nobody ever gets a big budget to take a big weird swing is still massively depressing

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

for summarising values over groups in plots, I think that generally ridgeplots are superior to box plots and violin plots...
