It's a rough time to be an indie dev, so we got to thinking what we could do about it... Announcing MATES' RATES 🍻 We're offering 12 month-long co-dev engagements where we work on whatever you need to succeed! Very permissive terms. Flat rate of US$5,000ea (+ taxes). 🎟️ yarnspinner.dev/mates-rates

if anyone is thinking of making cold brew and is like "nooo that's scary" please know my first two brews I filtered by attaching a dripper I got from daiso to a saucepan with clothespegs. like I have an actual jug now and it's way better but you really can just do whatever and it'll work great!!

every year I email a bunch of audio plugin makers and DAW companies and I'm like hi thanks for not including iLok or always online DRM!! I love paying for stuff I can reliably use here on new zealand internet! and every year they're like wow thanks for paying for our stuff :) it's nice!!

dude the news about pac is just so.. we saw him the day before. He looked GREAT! now my coworker (older guy) has a thousand yard stare and is telling me about eddie guerrero while we're both interrupting each other like.. but pac looked fine. we both saw that match. man!!!!

Does anyone know if macarons are actually hard to make or if this is a psyop from Big Pastry to entice me into buying a little treat (when I could make several little treats at home instead).

lol does anyone else remember the time a GWU organiser compared the hashtag gamedevsforfiries indies selling anything they could to prevent one more house from burning down in 2020 (many of whom had already lost theirs) to fucking american gun lobbyists. I wonder if that's in her book

also, just bought my kawaiicon ticket..!! super excited..! im still def not a hacker or infosec person, but everyone last time was literally just nice and I wanna say hi again. turns out hacker anarchist people like libraries for some reason?? can't possibly think why

brooke van velden going on and on about librarians wanting the same salary as engineers makes me insane. "oh because it was inaccurate?" no, because I'm a librarian and I am spending my workday troubleshooting a CNC machine's drive belt I am not even kidding

this goes especially for games which are directed as multiplayer casual experiences. I'm not saying it should run on a chromebook. But it SHOULD run on something a kid can afford, which is usually two sticks of 4GB from the previous generation at least.

ok so I know a lot of people regard books as precious etc to be preserved forever but I don't think people are ready to hear about the amount of weeding and withdrawals we have to do at the library. like I told my mum about a book I had to bin the other day and she was HORRIFIED

one time I told a friend about a waterlogged and unreadable copy of san francisco's library catalogue from the 1800s, he was like "oh my god you have to save it" dude we are a public library in the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE!! they already have pristine copies and scans over there! we shouldn't have this!!

like it is really sad every time it's something like that, but today it's "garageband 09" "mixcraft 2006" "myspace for musicians" and if I get rid of them I'm able to replace them with manuals for things that run on computers most of the general public has access to. sooo they gotta go

I used to also be really aghast whenever there's a news article like "library removing hundreds of books from collections" but now I work here I'm like. yeah there was probably snot in them they gotta go. or black mould. or water damage. or all of the above and high quality scans already exist.

glad we're finally getting a decent conversation about the racism in the vocal synth community but genuinely if I see one more person going "umm but it Is ok if you don't like rap, that doesn't mean you're racist" I am going to lose my mind. aggressively not the time!!!

100 grams bonus yesterday I maintain I would die for every single one of those staff members

everyone's always like "the staff are so mean" they leave me the fuck alone!!! I would die for every single one of them!! none of them ever accurately measure the coffee I buy and this always works drastically in my favour

God I love midnight espresso... I wish we had more actual late night cafes here I SHOULD be able to get a coffee and a slice of cake at 11pm anywhere. It's good for the soul!!!

THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO DOLLARS FOR GENERAL ADMISSION?????? I love system of a down but what the FUCK you'd have to work 14 hours to afford that on minimum wage here!! back in the day (only 10 years ago) I worked THREE hours to get tickets to stuff

using my lesbian swag and thousand yard customer service worker stare, I have negotiated the gay barista down to 9 dollar iced mocha instead of 11. I think I can wear him down to 8 dollars if I continue to talk shit about his boss

dawg I think the book sorter at work is going to turn my manager into the joker. like I'm on her side here she fully deserves to hit it with a sledgehammer, we ALL want this, but oh my god

really enjoying #klattsch. everyone is going to have to deal with me posting another synth everywhere I am having SO much fun (despite the shinji chair image) (despite the time on the clock when this was recorded)
