Games need a setting where no controls are mapped and when you press a key you've not pressed yet a menu says "hey - what should that key do?" I just fired up Deus Ex for a bit of a nostalgia trip and wow, my fingers remember how I had that game set up 20-odd years ago way better than my brain does.

So hereā€™s the deal: If you can catch it from somebody with whom you donā€™t speak any language in common, itā€™s a virus; if it entitles you to any kind of tax breaks, itā€™s a religion; otherwise itā€™s just a regular cult. Glad we cleared that up.

I'm human. My knees hurt. One nostril doesn't work properly this morning; in about an hour it'll be the other one. I have angst. I can't prioritise. I can write stupid poems without burning down rainforests. Having to prove this several times a day is making me long for the sweet oblivion of death.

This remains the most dramatic dialog box I've ever seen.

A dialog box for Adobe After Effects, reading "Before quitting, you have one chance to save your project (don't use the same name as the original)."

Yeah. One page spread canā€™t take that long. Surely.

Somebody should try it. Not me. Somebody. I have things to do. Important thingsā€¦ that are not nearly as interesting as thisā€¦ This is always how it starts, you know.
