I use Workspaces in Vivaldi to split the difference. Each Workspace has only the tabs that are useful for the thing I want to focus on, and I don't have to reopen everything when I change tasks.

outside of something that actually benefits people, i do think that making an insane art project that no one quite understands or wants to fund is one of the most ethical things you can do as a dying rich person

the way you make a video game is by getting a bunch of people with complimentary skill sets to learn how to work together, which is one of the reasons why all these layoffs and studio shutdowns are going to be so damaging long term

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Harvard Medical School have developed a nasal spray that in preclinical studies, offered NEARLY 100% protection from respiratory infections by COVID-19, influenza, viruses, AND pneumonia-causing bacteria. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Correct. Sorry for not being explicit about which term I meant for which category.

Rushdown and zoning. Those terms are used for character archetypes, but those archetypes are largely defined by the move set, so I think it works.

this thread tho

i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.

daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start: go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

Screenshot of PayPal's Terms of Service update, outlining their "personalized shopping" feature where they allow themselves the right to give info about you to other companies

I do love video games. I also love cooking, hiking, plants, history and archeology, travelling, cinema, music, museums and a million other things beside. For me, it's important to have a pool of inspirations/feelings outside of games to pull from when creating games.
