    Unbelievably, Hollow Knight on Switch is even cheaper than usual this weekend. Probably the best value video game ever made.

    Started a new project yesterday in an empty directory. `git init`, `rspec --init`, sketch out rough ideas as failing tests, write scrappy chunks of implementation to make each test pass, jiggle the pieces around until everything settles and clicks together perfectly. Feels great.

    Most of the negative comments I get on these accessibility videos boil down to “this is nice, but it’s a waste of development time for such a small portion of players”. This is a cosmically bad take.

    The second episode just came out, and it’s great too. So glad that is making this series. And, again, not _just_ because it continues to feed my righteous indignation about tiny text.

    This reminds me why I find Metroidvanias risky: the thrill of exploration curdles so easily into drudgery if the difficulty/upgrade ramp isn’t balanced right.

    Hollow Knight is really impressive, but upgrade stinginess makes it feel too difficult too early. At <10 hours in, the only way to progress is to fight bosses I can’t beat.

    Set up a joint account in five minutes over lunch. Clear, easy and fast, with active consent on both sides. Really impressive.

    I really don’t like Nazis, but I’m also not a fan of people who say “toot”

    Veracity aside, the translation spoils the haughty indignance of the joke — all of the words being monosyllabic is part of what makes this (and “so were the stairs”) sound funny.

    The most interesting thing about is that American editions apparently replace “torch” with “flashlight”, a word that a British person wouldn’t say.

    My wife and I recently got married and decided that neither of us would change our last names. Some people disagree with this approach, commonly critiquing with "what will you do with your children's last names?? How will they know they're a family?!" My solution: the blockchain

    I intentionally deleted thousands of files from Dropbox (by moving them to iCloud Drive). Dropbox sent me an email telling me I’d done it and saying that I had a month to restore them if I wanted to. That’s really good.

    I recently came face to face with an internet problem I didn’t even know existed, because for me (and probably you), it doesn’t—but it does for thousands or millions of people around the world.

    Boris Johnson is just Tommy Robinson with a posh accent. It’s time this country stopped turning a blind eye to racism out of a lingering sense of class deference.

    Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Switch is really fun and charming and I’m enjoying it a lot.
