@quadra Love that you are posting these excerpts, it really demonstrates how cool the tables are!

@grumpygamer haha, yeah at my last job this was also the culture. Really made me socially stressed all the time

@donnyglover Looks nice, like a very lightweight Elite? I would appreciate that, I liked the fantasy of it but it was sooo slow ๐Ÿ˜…

@donnyglover This looks lovely, what are you making?

Played the first dungeon of Postmark Games' 52 Realms: Adventures yesterday. It's a nice clever game and I will take any excuse to dust off my favourite playing cards! #boardgames #printandplay #playingcards

A sheet of printed paper resembling a dungeon map, with various playing cards laid on top that make up the game state together

@ewoud Yeah! I used it for a hobby project. I'm really rusty in unity so it's hard to make the comparison, but #godotengine felt very intuitive and friendly to me!

@ewoud Exciting, have you fully made the Godot jump for new projects, or just toying with it?

So cool! A one-pixel-wide font that exploits subpixels.

(Source: reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck)

Three views of a font displaying numbers. In the first, you see stacked coloured pixels, and in the last you see how the colours chosen turn on certain RGB subpixels to turn these into numbers.

@anders Wow Anders, thank you so much for the extensive reply!! It sounds so simple but apparently is easy to forget in the moment ๐Ÿ˜ I will definitely try this next time, thanks again

@anders I just went through the same, appreciate the advice. I asked none of those questions, luckily, but didn't feel like I got a good enough grasp on the candidate's hard experience either. Good feel for their personality and how they would fit in a team, though!

Any thoughts on getting more idea about how they actually go about work (problem solving, debugging etc rather than how they fit in a team) without assessments? Or do you feel like your listed questions cover that?

Just received the lovely looking Warped Beyond Recognition ( #mothershiprpg module) by @quadra! Thanks, even the packaging looks amazing!

Picture of an RPG booklet with a striking red and black cover, and a cardboard packaging of the same size saying "Tannhรคuser special research division"

@kenney This looks very cute!

"The outside world must walk Israel back from the abyss. It cannot be part of the choir of incitement"

Sorry to give air to the transphobic Irish Times but this article by Daniel Levy and Zaha Hassan eloquently and humanely describes the situation.

#Palestine #Israel #Gaza

We are now staring into an abyss. Surely it is possible, if one accepts the humanity and equality of all people without discrimination or distinction, to hold three truths simultaneously. First, the militant attack on Israeli civilians was unconscionable, inhumane and in violation of international law. Second, Israel's collective punishment against Palestinian civilians and its actions in Gaza are unconscionable, inhumane and a violation of international law. And, third, one must address the context of occupation and apartheid in which this is unfolding if one is to maintain integrity and be able to plot a strategy going forward in which both Palestinians and Israelis can live in freedom and security. If we can hold these three truths, then it will be possible to prevent further casualties, secure the release of prisoners and step back from the precipice.Western leaders have spoken thus far with tremendous empathy about the humanity of Israelis. As well they should. However, there has been a glaring absence of any reference to the humanity of Palestinians - it should not be hard to acknowledge Palestinian pain, suffering and endless dispossession. This sin of omission in the language coming from the US and many European leaders is encouraging the committing of war crimes. Western leaders should be on notice and desist from being part of the choir of incitement.

@teahands I like this, it also frees your brain from mulling over the issue from 6 PM until 9 AM the next day!

@fletchmakesstuff These are really cool! Not sure if it's something everyone goes through but I have definitely also thought about making a chess set in the past ๐Ÿ˜‚

Missed opportunity to make the horse/knight a duck, of course ๐Ÿ‘€

@bram noob question but what is this meant for? From the energy mentions I'm thinking mini headless devices that you could just leave somewhere for months without needing charging? Like smart home controllers or something?

@cebolleta I haven't used Godot much but I partially agree. For me it's mostly weird that the open scripts _also_ differ per screen, so I had my player and game manager scripts open in the level, in the player scene, in the enemy scene, etc. Feels strange indeed.
