Sorry, not sure who Ed is. That's either a typo OR I'M BEING INFLUENCED BY A RESTLESS SPIRIT FROM BEING THE GRAVE

(probably a typo tho, tbh)

I'm a fairly easy-going sort, but I went into work today with an injury and then did shopping after, with a 25 minute walk home afterwards and, I swear, anyone who interrupted my chilling out after I got in by knocking on the door would've been risking a starring role in a new axe murderer urban legend 😛

Had a few glasses of wine and decided Ed my latest project is to teach my cat to shake hands. Paws. Whatever.

First attempt was not a success, she kept jumping back to avoid my touching her paws, but that's kind've to be expected. She got treats when I held her paw for a second or do.

Not a success but, realistically, a decent start, I reckon 🙂

You know @WarrantCanary ?

I can't help but like their posts. I don't know why. I mean, I technically know it's an automated thing, but it just seems polite regardless..

BEHOLD MY BEAUTIFUL NEW WATER BOTTLE

Poking the bear. Sorry, bird.

Just been to the doctor's, been having a pain in my side since a 'physical altercation' at work on Friday. Seems I've managed to pull a muscle there and it'll probably take around 3 weeks to heal 🤬

Just got in, it's absolutely pissing it down out there. I swear, at times the rain wasn't coming down so much as coming sideways

Quick crosspost from the bird app that seems particularly appropriate in these troubled times..

Look, just treat people as individuals according to how they treat yourself and others, it's not fucking rocket science.

In all the noise over #Unity3D 's 'runtime fee' clusterfuck and people talking about moving to other game engines for their projects. I'm surprised there's very little about #CryEngine. It looks very capable and has abunch of features that I would've thought would be more popular.

ok, so I'm guessing that's a no - it's fine, I'm unique. A delicate gamedev flower that should be valued for it's rarity 😂

Cat's just finished her dinner, now she's sitting at the back door pretending she wants to go out. It's our little ritual. She's all "I MUST LEAVE TO HUNT IN THE NIGHT", and I'm like "don't be daft, you're not going out at this time of night" then she looks at me like "IT IS MY NATURE TO FIND PREY IN THE DARKNESS." Me: "You haven't even finished your dried food, you daft bugger"

"SOOOOO UNFAIR"

Okay, fair play, it's not Twitter, at least not directly. I mean, it wasn't working on my PC, presumably due to security settings, and I had to reboot my phone to get the app working but...

fuckit, that means it's still Twitter, isn't it?

I lied. I got a second opinion (thanks @Kimmycott !)and it was totally me so I'm still here. But now I've sorted it and fired off my anti-troll salvo, I'm off to do those burgers)

Anyway, enough of #Twitter and wondering if they're having an outage. This place remains steady af, which is what counts :)

Time to fix up some dinner. Burgers tonight - I'm still contemplating whether to go old skool - tomato sauce and mustard, or whether to head more seriously into jalapano and cheese territory.

Much more important imo.

Although, the way Twitter have been f*cking around with their API, blocking websites that detect if there are issues may be intentional.

I know, I know. But I'm not in a position to talk sense into them.

20 reports so far on a site a lot of people won't have heard of before, so there's a decent chance it's not just me..

I'll be honest, I sort of get the sentiment but find it hard to relate to that. I lean more towards guitar because of opportunity and the availability of the instrument for me.

If I won the lottery, I'd be downing tools and learning a whole bunch of instruments - guitar, horns, piano, you name it.

Are there any #Unity #Unity3D #gamedev folk still on here?

Much as I like feeling special, I have a question! :D

OOooh, interesting..

There was a (short?) BBC film called Boiling Point a while back, about a chef - looks like they've turned it into a series now.
