I've seen this "skateboard to car" image used all over the place and it's really starting to grind my gears.

I'm releasing a new video on it tomorrow.

I mean, come on man, look at how many times the Epic Games Store switches between dark and light mode by me just clicking around to buy a game. It's just so weird!

And I really appreciate the free games. I bet a LOT of money goes into getting those games onto the store for free.

But the UX sucks.

Like, the Epic Games Store is slow. It is SO slow. For no good reason whatsoever. Look at this:

I really wish the EGS had better UX. I think many more people would use it if it did.

For example, what basic feature is missing in this login window?

"☑️ Remember me"

I haven't had to 'log in' to steam for years, apart from on someone else's machine. For EGS, I have to actively log in every time.

It took her a few seconds too and then she said "You don't look excited to be on vacation"

So I was just wondering if the "dull face" comment is a normal thing to say that I should expect to hear more, or was this like, really strange?

I'm just very surprised and it caught me off guard!

Hey Brits, I need your help with something.

I just arrived at a hotel in London, and at check-in they asked the usual "business or leisure?" and I said business, and she replied:

"Makes sense, your face looks dull"

and I was so struck I failed to reply

We shouldn't have to worry about losing progress in videogames.

I've seen the UX issues of saving and quitting in many games, and I think as an industry we can do better.

Please share this as wide as you can. I really want us to solve this for every future game!

The Trump insanity with buying Greenland and annexing Canada is crazy, especially because it's so recent.

Please also do not forget that in 2002, under George Bush, the US signed a bill informally known as the Hague Invasion Act, where they can invade The Netherlands if the ICC tries a US citizen.

$15,000.00 is the Z-up of the financial system

I know some folks like 15.000,00$ but that's like Y-up: Plain wrong.

Are you bored with the usual game development discourse? How about trying some international finance discourse instead!

What should the price separator be for large figures? Ready, fight!

This is a very neat case study about improving level design tools and measuring the success of those improvements, by Emil Dobetsberger, in Godot.

The number of participants is small, but the process used to deduce the problem, create a solution, and then (very importantly!) testing the solution, is very clean. Give it a read!

Bremen is a lovely place and you should visit it sometime to see the Christmas Market, as well as the Pirate Christmas Market.

We are hanging out at the pirate Christmas market in Bremen. Why is there a pirate Christmas market? Stop asking questions and come visit.
