Shared an idea with a friend the other day and he said "if you draw a #pixelart cow and send it to me, then I'm onboard." So I guess I'm making a game about cows now.

@massim0g MystLike, it was the first game to prioritise exploration and story over action. It nails all of the characteristics and a good foundation for saying "expect boundless lore, layered secrets and minimal action." similar vibes to a walking simulator except so much more content

@devongovett Just had this exact problem, we opted for providing single language defaults. We check for context and fallback to client html lang attribute to identify if you're in default market, otherwise show empty strings. Not great, but helps avoid wrong language content in other markets

@ElyKreimendahl It's much the same as everybody elses recommendation here but I had a conference talk saved by honey, lemon and ginger tea. Someone said it was called Gollum Juice after Andy Serkis who used it all throughout filming LotR. Precise portions remain unknown but plenty of it helps

@Myartbytes1 This is awesome, thanks for the tutorial, I noticed you had dotted outline, presumably that's to protect the edges? How do you handle layers, is each color on a layer, or each distinct area of the design?

“Better to talk to people than communicate via tweet” is Twitter’s new slogan

Printer: Hey we need to go to print can you quickly jot down all the sections for the contents page

Editor: uhhh, sure. We'll, there's the intro, obvs... And then it's just the rest of the book tbh

@racheleditullio The semantics of "passing" a test or being represented by numeric values are a misnomer, but it's a great way to visualise to product that it's something worth investing time and resources on, and helps them to understand the impact of changes over time

@B1GK90 @JamesRath @elonmusk @greg16676935420 With assistive screen reading apps. Imagine it like siri reading twitter aloud, except rather than words it's individual letters and nonsense characters that is more akin to trying to understand morse code read aloud bit by bit

@SimoneStolzoff We ask each other what we don't want for dinner. The other person has to say something they don't want, and pass it back and forth until someone has an idea for what they do want. We found it much easier to knock a bunch of stuff off the list and get to a common ground quickly

[Edd 🐳 @eddhurst]

@CoopsPine @Demichowicz @HarryHamishGray I figured the idea was that people coming from the road have priority so you should stop on the roundabout to accommodate them. Every other exit is normal rules apply

[Edd 🐳 @eddhurst]

@kyleshevlin I have a series of calendar events I made for some point in the future to remind me to think of planning for exactly this reason. Take advantage of remembering it now to plan something for next year. Or plan remembering it next year... 😅

[Edd 🐳 @eddhurst]

@jannejanne Anyway, I appreciate he was maybe going for something else here, and I'm not trying to be finickity. Any stats around this are interesting and useful for others to compare

[Edd 🐳 @eddhurst]

@jannejanne But 14/42 were when roles did go to AsAm actors, they just happened to not be him. That's the 1/3 stat (or 33% for comparison) . Say he was offered 5 roles, some he took some he declined. That number becomes 19/47. A 40% chance that any audition written for AsAm stays AsAm

[Edd 🐳 @eddhurst]

@likerawfish @mikecabellon Sure the math from the numbers he has is right, but the context is wrong. Its not "1 in 3 auditions" its "1 in 3 auditions I didn't get offered the part". To get the actual ratio from any given future audition, it has to include the full dataset

Do not write software with bugs. Instead, write software without bugs. That way your software will have no bugs!

@DarrenWalshPuns Düsseldorf and cloning. Although by rights you are 3 away from 5000, and the 3rd one on this list is Düsseldorf, so natural winner.
