Engels is a good name for a black and white cat

Plaintext and a simple kanban board are all you need.

I've been using one called Planka and it's great. Incredibly minimal and all important info is documented elsewhere so it can just be used for organization.

Love using a basic SQL database for data warehousing (we need it for billing purposes and SQL records give us a lot more freedom to set up visualizations and data dashboards).

All day to day communication is either in person, over chats, or though plaintext files and comments left in project directories.

I remember helping a friend wrote one in R and Python like 10+ years ago when we were in highschool to predict the MISO energy market.

Some dude paid us like $3000 to make one for him because he wanted to buy a $10k solar farm in Oklahoma so he could speculate on grid futures...

It's obviously a bit, the punchline is delivered perfectly.

It is a bit

But the person is real

Same as any other means of production. Mass media is what started the really revolutions of the proletarian era, the Internet is still young.

What's happening is Amazon comes in and builds a warehouse or data center, then Black Rock comes in and buys up the homes around there area, then sells those homes off to developers who build "luxury apartments" near the data center. Bonus points if the owner of the developer is also contacting with Amazon.

This means they charge 80% of the wage earned at the warehouse for the apartments and can keep rent in lockstep with wages meaning a wage increase is just a shifting of funds from the warehouse profits to the landlord profits.

Weird, that seems to be one of the only ones that shows up. Even searching hexbear returns results for prolewiki and the gitlab first

Games are just emulating slot machines. That's fine sometimes, I enjoy RNG stuff being exposed and making number crunching flashy occasionally, but it's kinda weak design when the themes of your game allow for you to mask that stuff behind character design instead of just copy and pasting assets and changing the values

Wasn't he also in Nioh and the inspiration for Afro Samurai? Absolute babies

If you're gonna have leveled enemies in an action game, the best way to do it is to make them visually different from regular goons and give them something like more armor, or a helmet, or a bigger weapon that's immune to regular parry.

Do your leveling by gating areas with enemy types that require you to either master the combat or unlock a weapon through story progression that trivializes them.

Do we have to remind the NAFO guys that Leningrad no longer exists?

Just got this game, and it's actually really awesome. Stalker mixed with SCP mixed with Car Mechanic Simulator.

You have a possessed car that you maintain and customize and use to navigate around a Stalker style zone avoiding anomalies and looting all the while picking up weird radio transmissions and following a storyline with 3 other characters on the radio.

The zones aren't randomly generated, only the anomaly placement, so as you navigate a zone multiple times you start to get more comfortable with the roads and shortcuts meaning you can start navigating further out and getting more resources to upgrade your car and base with.

So far I absolutely love it, basically FTL but with the loops being a part of the storyline (your car will always keep you alive even if you lose all your loot and it gets totally fucked). So like if you die or get caught in an anomaly storm, your car will just zap you back to the garage, usually in a state so fucked that it barely drives, e.g. no wheels, no engine, and no headlights just barelling metal on pavement into the back wall.

You can also pick up "quirks" which are a fun sort of puzzle. Basically any action in the car or any state of the car can become randomly linked to another action. So like opening the back left door could turn your radio on, or flipped on your wipers could slam on the gas. So as you're out there surviving, you'll also have to be paying attention to what you did to make the trunk open, then diagnose the issue and repair it.

But yeah, if you're interested in rouge type games this one is top tier. Especially on PS5 because the haptic feedback is really dialed in on this one. You can tell how fucked your car is just by the feedback on the triggers (brake gets stuck, gas kicks back and rumbles aggressively).

These guys opened for the Chats on their North America tour and honestly, Sarah has some of the best stage presence of anyone I've ever seen. So much so that they called her up to sing the last song for them

If any of you are on his American tour route, definitely go see him. We were his first show and he took a seated show and turned it into chaos then threw out the setlist and just asked what people wanted to hear.

Plus he's got the bassist from Radiohead with him.
