Hmm, I'm not convinced that one team dominating a league leads to exciting outcomes. What do you think about Bundesliga's situation?[0] [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesli…

For anyone wanting a short piece of fiction about human-animal communication development, I enjoyed this one (or part one of one) from Lars Doucet: https://www.fortressofdoors.com/…

It doesn't look like Streamlink is immune to the challenges of Twitch ads: https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/4949

A week ago I just so happened to look up some of your older blog posts and Candy Japan articles that you had written, it was an enjoyable reread! For anyone else, here are some lin…

About the trash police - is there anything stopping a neighbour planting plastic in the garbage and then calling the authorities? Or just saying that the plastic isn't theirs, and …

I enjoyed The Incredible Machine as a kid, the modern equivalent (though still 10 years old) is 'Contraption Maker' - https://store.steampowered.com/app/241240/Contraption_Maker/ -…

I very much enjoyed RPS in the days of the original four writers, and also when Quinns was contributing, though I haven't kept up so much in the last eight years or so. Eurogamer s…

I mean, it was Russell Kay[0], David Jones[1] and Mike Dailly[2], though I don't know if they're here. Personally I enjoyed the Lemmings Revolution game in the series, and that was…

Exactly, and it's not just about reading but also (perhaps even more so) about writing. If Nintendo control the manufacture of their proprietary disk, well, it's unlikely that a pi…

I'm having problems with Discord, Spotify and Gitlab right now. I wonder which cloud service that's running a third of the internet is struggling right now!

There's lots of reasons people 'cheat' in games. In this case it might be: • You enjoy playing Pokemon but you don't want to or cannot find the time to grind out the few hours of l…

I... guess, if you're only looking at the outcome (boxes of caught Pokemon) it is similar? But the linked post describes a Raspberry Pi + Capture Card + OpenCV solution that is sca…

There is also a physical USB cheat/hack/mod[0] that you can plug into your Switch that lets you automatically farm eggs, move you about automatically to hatch eggs, and then releas…

I make games for a living, I deeply enjoy the creative freedom of working on projects independently. After university I got my start with a SaaS accounting business, backend Python…

Related - has anyone listened to the new audiobooks with Bill Nighy, Peter Serafinowicz, and so on? I'm interested because they're unabridged and look like they have very high prod…

I recently quite enjoyed this video[0] about beginning to decompile an old Lego PC Game I remember from when I was a child. [0] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MToTEqoVv3I

Yes, the Factorio devs had an approach where they optimised everything happening in the game in the original singlethreaded environment, before moving onto multithreaded support. T…

You've misundertood the list, Lightyear ranks one place below Cars, so (on this list at least) it's viewed as worse than Cars. But better than Cars 3 and Cars 2.

Heh, it's like all those YouTube videos where someone uploads a song and the uploader puts "No copyright infringement intended" in the text description, sometimes with five or six …

That was certainly the case for the older ground effect craft like the ekranoplan[0] (which is a very interesting read), but perhaps there are important differences/improvements wi…

My dentist here in Canada has signs up that advertise that you get a free electric tooth brush if you leave a 5 star review on Google. I've not done that, it seems quite wrong, but…

You can take a look at the Python codebase for Sentry over here: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry

Could you expand? I'm a video game designer myself, so I enjoy thinking about these things - how can you get around the hunt-and-peck nature of a mobile phone screen, where your th…
