I looked into arts council grants and they just flatly do not do game development, sadly

Already got the landlord and energy companies lording it over me…
Would like it if they had a loan option or similar. Business loan was the only option left, grants come in tranches anyway, could have just had milestone based grant tranches.

In order to get the “content” (aka “make the game”) grants (at least recently when I applied) you needed to have at least 2 PAYE employees working on the game AND have the other half fully funded by non grant means.
Solo Devs are rejected out of hand and that seems incredibly short sighted. I am biased though.

Yeah, it’s a shame to get rid of it, I’m usually happy to let it go crazy for a few months so the bees and birds have their way. But I learned about bramble growth the hard way. Didn’t know they were vibes or they spread from the tips. Thought I could just chip the main stem and it wouldn’t be a big deal. But it’s had 2 summers now and when I cut the grass (or tried to) surprise!
The floor is bramble vines too. Like something out of a horror film, just kept pulling them up, ruined 2 pairs of gloves and 2 sets of secateurs , it’s only a tiny garden! (And the first sets were never up to the task)
Luckily I have some other bushes and ferns for stuff to live in but I just don’t have time to stay on top of the mechanical side to control it.

Cheaper than buying my third set of secateurs, I’ll give it a go, thanks!

If I can use it in a targeted way with limited collateral I will take it.
It between a shed and neighbours fence so as long as I don’t end up nuking their garden there’s not much else to affect.
Thanks

I wish someone had warned me before no now may about brambles.
1 shoulder injury and a year later I need chainmail gloves and a fucking flamethrower. I fill my green bin with brambles, by the time it’s picked up they’ve grown back.
The main root is under a shed. I don’t know how to eliminate it.

Corporate brain rot. Or they want the ability it provides to die.
HBO Max -> Max -> HBO Max again
Tropicana removing fruit imagery from their fucking fruit juices
The 12 or more fucking copilots
Convert kit to Seva (or whatever)
Loads recently I’m forgetting
- Comment on George R. R. Martin's New Announcement Has Finally Made Me Accept He's Never Finishing The Winds Of Winter 2 months ago:
I think he doesn’t want to deal with the people part and has already finished it with instructions to release it post mortem.
If I watched that last season and knew how much people hated it I wouldn’t want to see what happens to the book in the wild, even if they’re significantly different.
- Comment on Max Is Changing Its Name to (Get This!) HBO Max 2 months ago:
Corporate brain rot on full display.
Everyone knew it was asinine, and now they’ve finally confirmed it.
Everyone involved should be fired and bonuses clawed back if the board had a spine.
Or maybe it’s just some BCG consultant bullshit where they deliberately tank a company to short the stock or whatever. Hard to believe it’s real people making such awful decisions…

I recall reading that trex was probably a scavenger and hunter, so screaming loud to get other scavengers to fuck off is legit

- Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week? 2 months ago:
Watched season 2 of FROM. It was a bit interesting but I’m still very much expecting to get LOSTed
First episode of The Bondsman was ok.
What we do in the shadows continues is excellence (and weirdness)
Dune Prophecy was… interesting but also kind of unimpactful. I’ll watch season 2 probably.
Tried watching Black Summer but it was absolutely awful, shame because citizen Z was ok.
Tried watching Kingdom but so much of it is in the dark, my HDR TV has about 3 lit pixels (and nighttime only zombies kind of killed my enthusiasm)

Probably impersonating a member of the public on behalf of an MP should be a crime, not just for the impersonator but also the employer?
How is it not like a fraudulent review, astroturfing etc? Only the thing at stake isn’t a piece of shit plastic gadget but democracy

I hope there is a “dirt running down” simulation. Washing from the bottom up should be penalised.
