Talking with Myself

Superthread of tweets that moved me from a lurker to a poster.

@parakeetnebula Birth rate.

@corsaren I think this is true. My wife is pretty naturally low libido, but puts in a lot of effort to our sex life for me. Because she cares and wants me to be happy.

High agreeableness partners have better sex lives too, because they are willing to work with their partner.

Grok translations are making us fight with the British and get along with everyone else.

I do feel like a lot of the studio closures just became "lay-offs" once everything got snapped up in COVID investing.

And now that there is less investment we are going to see more closures.

Don't Nod, developer of games like Life is Strange and Vampyr, will see its cash reserves depleted by November, as Tencent has no intention of further investment

@Romy_Holland Each baby is very different. Our baby 3 was finally an easy baby. Don't worry if specific advice doesn't apply to your baby. It might on the next go round. Find out what your baby needs.

[T @TisTireless]

@ApoStructura Good for her.

[T @TisTireless]

@The24thFrame I also think they are evaluated as "fun" which might be software, but you can have great software that art that still isn't fun.

[T @TisTireless]

@Malcolm_Ocean My guess that it isn't "time slack" as much as justification. If you feel you have a good reason not to do it, you won't. Could be a lot of reasons.

Speedrun ruining your sex life

@heisei_ramen I would rather not make out at all than have a make out session in bed that didn't lead to sex

[T @TisTireless]

@ToddLlewellyn You're probably right. I would check the price book if I still worked there 😂

[T @TisTireless]

@owenbroadcast Been really enjoying these comics you have been doing lately!

[T @TisTireless]

@___frye I feel like you only develop this sense when you are spending time writing.

[T @TisTireless]

@MomaBera @Romy_Holland Likely true. Worth noting that oftentimes the wealthy and intelligent can get away with not following the rules. Lower class do tend to get hit with the consequences a lot more. So the rules are worthwhile.

@thomasmahler As a kid I almost never bought new games. It was all used stuff from Gamestop. Basically anything over $30 was too much except for VERY special occassions.

For my kids, I am happy paying a premium for great kids games. I only buy Nintendo games full price. Then cheap indies

[T @TisTireless]

Also I highly recommend this game. And it costs like $6.

My wife loved it too.

[Indie Game Joe @IndieGameJoe]

These indie devs made a library simulator where you must return all 3,072 books to their rightful places. It's currently a top-seller on Steam.

- Sort books by cover & title
- Run a magical arcane library
- Very satisfying

It's called Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!

[T @TisTireless]

@BenjiGameDev I think partly it is because it is just a good game...

[T @TisTireless]

@brianluidog This is amazing. Good job

[T @TisTireless]

It restocked and sold out again. I guess the price worked.

[Wario64 @Wario64]

Valve has raised Steam Deck prices in the US

• 1TB OLED $649 -> $949

Said like someone who hasn't ever used a $350 Microsoft laptop.

That thing will feel like using a cheese grater on your forehead after a decent Mac laptop.

[Yonan @yonann]

Kevin O'Leary says Apple's genius is making people pay 5x more for a laptop they could buy for $350

"you can buy an Apple laptop, average price about $1,800, or you can buy the same functionality for $350 on a Windows laptop"

"but you still pay $1,800. Why? Brand"

"you're paying a 5x multiple in some cases for something that is exactly like a Windows machine"

"I put that out to people, they say, yeah, but it's not an Apple. So there is the genius of Jobs"
