Met, like, LOADS of puppies. The worst. Irritating, every last one of them

Tired puppy (lazy, unproductive)
Close up puppy (irritating)
Wistful puppy (showboating)
Curious puppy (weirdo)

Just saw a video where a man pronounced "Whack-a-Mole" to rhyme with "guacamole" and... wait, is that how we're supposed to have been saying it this entire time? Is that what it's called??

'Whack a Rat' mini-game from Sam and Max Hit the Road

This game is called "Diplomacy is Not an Option" and the trailer goes "YOU GOTTA FIGHT..." "FOR YOUR RIGHT..." And I was thinking "... TO PARLAY! That's really clever!" but then instead it came up and said "TO LIVE". Like wtf? That's not at all how the song goes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbAG...

A restaurant called HOUSE OF NANKING.

As someone with a spotty countryside internet connection (and as someone often trying to code on a laptop from a car) I cannot express how incredibly irritating this shit is. Unity does it as well, freaking out if I don't have internet for 10 seconds and throwing a wobbly. Utter bullshit.

Spine, software I own, refusing to boot up because my internet went down, leaving me *unable to do my fucking job*.

The issue is that every time you make a video game, it's made just slightly differently enough (different mechanics! different art style! changes in tech while you made the last game!), that quite a lot of the stuff you "know" just is not relevant any more.

I am enjoying THE RINGS OF POWER but I can't help feel it's a bit of a gamble making all these rings? They need some sort of safety net in place, in case there's a problem imo.

Saw a tree with slightly-red leaves and shouted "FUCK OFF" at it. I will not go quietly into that good night.
