exactly! whenever anyone says imperial units are “more intuitive” and better reflect “how it feels to humans”, i can only think: obviously, you grew up with it. that’s what you know.
no matter what measurement system you were raised on, it will feel intuitive to you and reflect how you as a human experience the world because you are used to measuring things in those units. having said that, i’d much rather we used metric if for nothing else than the ease of unit conversion.

they may be referring to how spotify’s shuffle isn’t a true “shuffle” in that it is biased to things you have listened to more, recently, etc
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 5 months ago:
that’s great, but most vegans you speak to will tell you that we aren’t telling the people who lack the privilege we do to go vegan. we’re asking our neighbors, our bosses, our friends - people in similar if not the very same life circumstances as us - to walk a couple aisles over from where they buy the meat in the grocery store and buy some beans instead.
people love to bring up the privilege thing, but i would argue that it is entirely irrelevant. the entire point of veganism is to do what is reasonably possible and practicable. not to tell people who don’t have the privilege to be so discerning about their diet that they are going to hell or something.

unfortunately, this person actually works for a different company so i don’t see this being effective - it’s a joint project contract type deal. i could see this advice being more reasonable in a traditional single-employer working environment though

just beat a difficult game about climbing and i loved it! it’s the only other game in the genre that has risen to the heights of getting over it in terms of gameplay mechanics and level design.
if anyone reading this knows about a community for these types of games (foddian? getting over it-likes?), please send it my way. i love these games to bits and have so much to say about them but to my knowledge basically no one cares about these games outside of watching people on twitch get angry at them.
looking forward to playing return of the obra dinn, then i’ll probably start speedrunning the climbing game until baby steps releases lol

been battling impostor syndrome for my whole career, and today i learned that one of the new (not new to the field) people on my team doesn’t know how to use excel, the thing i spend like 50% of my working hours using.
worrying for my team and maybe the industry, but very comforting personally lol

mosa lina rules! i love that people are finding that game because it’s very unique and executes it’s simple concept extremely well.

everyone knows as long as you haphazardly defend some arbitrarily chosen animal (digital btw) on the internet it offsets the tens of billions of real animals humans kill per year

got a handful of games in the steam sale, and I’m currently about halfway through bugsnax - it’s really enjoyable so far. planning to start either hypnospace outlaw or the new ultrakill update after.

got a chance to try lethal company on steam - it’s a really fun online co-op horror roguelike where you scavenge for parts on moons that may or may not be inhabited. corporate doesn’t care what’s in these caves as long as it makes them money. great with friends or randoms, the proximity chat makes for a fun and scary experience with a drg / viscera cleanup style corporate setting.
also played through most of greener grass awaits, which is a unique and fun horror golf game - also free. i recommend at least trying it out, the horror gameplay elements mesh with the golf in a novel way that makes for a rare horror game with engaging moment to moment gameplay.

a short hike reinvigorated my love for indie games! it’s such a beautiful game with a cute little story and fun things to do, and doesn’t overstay it’s welcome.
