More of us are starting to play that Zip game on LinkedIn than anyone is willing to say. I'm going to stand here bravely and say yeah, I do play it when it appears in my notifications, okay? I'm a sicko.

Truly the best farming Sim to come out since Stardew imo. Has such a great aesthetic, energy, tone, playfulness, and so many QOL fixes. I'm trying to avoid picking up the Steam Deck to play again too much because it'll eat literally all my time - and it's worth it!

I think generally a lot of people have no idea what backend software for important places can actually look like and honestly, it's a TRIP. We used to use a bastardised JIRA to manage car magazine ads when I worked at a magazine company. I have Seen Some Interfaces.

This is not a joke. This is a screenshot of the actual case management software used by Massachusetts' 11 District Attorneys. Must-read work here by @nasser.wiki nasser.blog/dial-up-just...

Got to have a short Big Walk tonight. Very good. Lost several important items. Just like when I normally go for a walk. Here's me when I fell in the ocean to try and rescue [redacted].

The Big Walk menu music is giving me Glee vibes, which is about as targeted as a game menu can be to me.

🔴🟡🔵 BIG WALK 🔴🟡🔵 Out now on Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. Hooray!

I have the lazy cold from hell that is just a scratchy throat and fatigue and not even remotely bad enough to curl up in bed for a week but remains a constant hum of low-grade annoyingness. It feels like everyone is sick at the moment!

I am very much looking forward to having time to go on a BIG WALK!!!

After all that, I both forgot AND didn't get alerted. Madness.

I have seen one million reminders that we are testing an emergency warning system next week on Monday to our phones. I know for a fact I am going to leap out of my seat in fear the second it goes off because I will have forgotten that we are testing an emergency warning system next week on Monday.

I just got home from a night out seeing a lot of people I really love admire and respect, and my (asleep) husband had put my side of the electric blanket on, and that is maybe the dream way to end a working week.

I'm coming up on a lot of travel and for a period of that I'll have my checked bag in one place and be travelling out for day trips. Pls help solve my backpack woes.

Now that I'm fully remote, I find on my work days I lock in way too hard sometimes and don't get up to stretch/get water often enough. For friends who are the same, do you have any good desktop companion games that are good for reminders and not too distracting, or do you use manual timers etc?

Genuinely one of the best albums of the year and a great write up as to why!!

UGH

Sure working internationally there's timezones, but it's Aussie vernacular that really gets you. I used the phrase chippies the other day to describe something (that was very much not crisps haha) to @astridmrefstrup.bsky.social who was like ??? 😂

Not to mention the three times they've told me 'we've closed your account, but it'll take a few weeks for it to disappear!' Girl, it's been TWO MONTHS. The emails never stop! The spam keeps coming!

LinkedIn is making me insane. I have a duplicate account I don't need that I tried to delete, but it wanted a password. I make a password. It says no problem I'll delete. It doesn't delete. Spam emails continue. I go back. Ask it to delete. Add a password. I make a password. I'll delete!

HOLY SHIT THIS RULES

I literally just woke up but let’s go Cabo Verde!!!!

I had promised myself a breakfast celebration if we won so now I just have to go back to sleep like this.

Putting kids (and CBs) up for our pens is the most insane decision. That poor kid.

I had big plans to go back to sleep at what would’ve been half an hour+ ago and now we’re at pens and maybe I will be taking my niece to a card convention on 3 hours sleep, but god I hope it’ll be worth the fatigue.

He ran to borrow a friends for extra time

I think the referee forgot to bring any of his cards and it’s too embarrassing to admit it this far into the game.

WHAT A SAAAAAVE

I think the referee forgot to bring any of his cards and it’s too embarrassing to admit it this far into the game.

Bad day to get a likely concussion and then deliver an own goal in the space of like 15 minutes but I’m personally very glad (I do hope he is Ok)

And here is the second batch of Indie-Penance games! kotaku.com/indie-penanc... Thank you so much for sending in games - the selection has been the best ever - and I'm so sorry to everyone I couldn't include. This is the most eclectic, original bunch of brilliant ideas. Please do repost this!

My eyes hurt and I’m tired. Let’s go Socceroos (please god please please let getting up early be worth it)
