@L3ftyGames Congrats dude, awesome work! :D

@STORI3D_PAST It's something I never stopped to reflect on until I lived in Prague for a few years living the expat life, as well as small attempts to learn Finnish.

As you study languages in isolation in an academic environment, i.e. school, it's easy to miss this aspect.

[Tim Toxopeus @DeepflameNL]

@STORI3D_PAST The closest similar word I know of is hygge, or so I was told by a Dane. Also hard to translate for the same reason. It contains a certain emotion that we can culturally collectively describe as gezellig, but takes a paragraph to convey in English.

Language is wild. 😃

[Tim Toxopeus @DeepflameNL]

@STORI3D_PAST I wonder if this word is a descendant of gesaelig, or if they're just very similar. 🙂

[Tim Toxopeus @DeepflameNL]

@STORI3D_PAST Gezellig is a very alive word in Dutch, it doesn't translate well to English but it roughly means cosy or joyful.

At the end of a get together with friends we can say "het was gezellig", to indicate we had a good time, for example.

[Tim Toxopeus @DeepflameNL]

@STORI3D_PAST One Dutch word for that is "dageraad", it's still in use but not super common. 😃

[Tim Toxopeus @DeepflameNL]

@Sosowski It indeed indicates the polarity of the output, the USB PD spec allows for both ways. ��

@Enichan Awesome, that looks very clean! Welcome to the world of 3d printers, beware of the slippery slope of tinkering, for it is a rabbit hole that is endless. (Send help) You got a Prusa printer I take it?

@TerribleMaps According to https://t.co/V2BExi3m5W that would be New Netherlands

@mikekasprzak Getting your money's worth... Eventually 😅

[Tim Toxopeus @DeepflameNL]

@TimHeijden Haha, dat zal hem leren! 😆

[Tim Toxopeus @DeepflameNL]

@Enichan The core reasoning is that it's a huge effort to write, outdated by the time you finish writing it, doesn't get maintained once done, and then no-one bothers to read it anyway. I had the same experience when I got outsourced to a big AAA studio as well.

[Tim Toxopeus @DeepflameNL]

@Enichan I work for a studio with about 60 people, no gdd either. We have feature specific functional design, only the most complex or key features get a technical design doc. The rest just sorta flows out of the game's story beats overview.

@Enichan Very patient cat, ours breaks down the place once it gets closer to her meal times.

@Enichan Speaking of esolang territory, allow me to curse your day with Ruby's post-code unless condition, i.e:
Print X unless X < 2

@PostNL Krijg net een melding dat ik niet thuis zou zijn, terwijl ik letterlijk met zicht op het pad naar de deur een puzzel zit te maken. Als de bezorger gewoon geen zin heeft is dat prima, maar biedt dan geen zondag bezorgservice aan. 😅
