  • Although I still have Journey To Silius’s OST burned into my head, there have been plenty of very influential games, in no particular order -

    Super Mario RPG

    Chrono Trigger

    FFVII

    Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater

    Jet Set Radio (and Future)

    Grand Theft Auto (Vice City and San Andreas, I only listened to talk radio in 3)

    Stepmania

    These days, I feel a little calcified but it’s always nice when I turn on a game and see artists I know.



  • “It’s easy to be the band of misfits who plays by their own rules and gets things done. It’s much more difficult to do exceptional work and do it the right way the whole time.”

    Sort of a long form “Any job worth doing is with doing right” but focuses more on the team doing the work.

    And, yes, at the time the workplace culture was firmly in the “Play hard, work to standard, cut the corners just enough that we don’t get in trouble” realm. Lots of hangovers during that job…




  • It presents possibilities. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen people shut down a listing based on the current color… Changing it from puke green to… Anything else is apparently more work than changing from gray to anything.

    I’m obviously washing over needing to reprime the walls depending on the color and quality of paint but it’s not just white people. White is too sterile but gray strikes the right balance. Same with staging furniture. Sets too many expectations for people sometimes.


  • My ex said I’m a Disney Princess when it comes to animals. Their dog and cats love me, stray cats hang out in my backyard, current partners cat sleeps on me every night. Heck, I caught the neighbor’s cat sneaking into my garage this week!

    I used to have two rats, a cat, and a dog and they’d all sleep on me at night.





  • In my head: “Hmm… Interesting. You know how these cards are - the bank will stop everything but actual fraud!”

    Out of my mouth: “Hehehe, weird, I swear I’ve got enough money… Err… Ah… Let me just, um, let me check if the app is acting up. No? Hrmmm… Let me try again…”




  • Not really, if you set the parking brake and it rolls away, an investigation is conducted. If you failed properly set the brake or it was in such a state of disrepair, it’s your negligence and you’re at fault.

    If the investigation determines that the car has a design fault that causes the brake to fail prematurely or your car was manufactured improperly - the manufacturer is at fault.

    If, somehow, the road or infrastructure around the car caused the brake to fail… Well, you get it.

    Basically, a better example would be “If I fire a gun into the air, I’m responsible for where every bullet lands.”
