Almost definitely. According to my mom, she referred him to the same neurologist who diagnosed my ADD when I was kid and she prescribed him ritalin. But apparently he didn’t like how it made him feel “too focused” or something like that.

I think it’s been over 9 months.

My uncle was evicted from his house because he failed to maintain the property and let it go to shit. It was winter, so we invited him to stay in a spare room in our basement just to keep him out of the cold and give him time to sell his property and buy a trailer home.

He’s still living here.

I send them after my enemies.

I don’t think I was ever stung by a wasp, and I even held one in my hand once.

Kinda related:

… about fight club.

I don’t typically go for racing games, but I have fond memories of playing Extreme-G on the N64. It had wepons, high speeds, and a soundtrack that tricked a young me into thinking I might like techno music.

Grime. I lost my patience on one of the bosses and just couldn’t get back into it.

I went through this just a few weeks ago. It was really hard seeing her refuse to eat anything. But at least she seemed to like looking outside, laying on her favorite blanket.

Had to put mine down several weeks ago. She was also 18. I lost several other pets and four grandparents without shedding a tear, but this one broke me.

The vet appointment was at 6pm, so I could spend the last day with her. She acted more or less normal for her age, except not eating for three days and throwing up water.

I was rubbing her head until her heart stopped. I still miss her so much.

I didn’t migrate yet because I was five years into a project that I can only work on in my spare time, but you can bet that if I ever start another game, I’m looking at a different engine.

My cat used to wait for me to clean the litter box. Sometimes she’d look in it and walk away if it had too many clumps, but then use it immediately after I clean it.

I had one years ago with internet explorer that ended up being because “console.log” was not defined in that browser unless you had the console window open. That was fun to troublshoot.

I got myself mildly addicted to Mindustry. Wiping out enemy bases can be pretty satisfying.

Ooh, I have a video for this: https://spectra.video/w/pz5XVrqnXtuS7zHgq32gw4

Yeah. We have a bunch of clients so I can be on several projects at a time. And it’s a privately owned company that, to my knowledge, the owner has no intention of selling.

I got insanely lucky wit my job. I responded to an email that came through my college CS department about a potential job and got an in-person interview with the CEO of a tiny company nobody has heard of. The guy’s personality made it easier to talk to him despite my anxiety.

Instead of the bullshit riddles that every other tech job interview has, he sent me home with a simple assignment to make a simple webpage where a user could log in.

After submitting that, I kinda forgot about it until several month later when I randomly decide to check my school email account and found an email from him that was almost a month old (my PC wasn’t working before that, and I didn’t need to use it much at the time).

I replied just in time. 12 years later I’m the most senior developer.

I think this is the only thread where I actually haven’t seen any of the games before.

Another game I enjoyed was The Eternal Castle (remastered). It’s a remake of a game from 1987. The animation is great and the visual style is really cool.
