Alright for those of you who played GTA San Andreas... Y'all remember the first scene where CJ enters his mom's house, and Big Smoke comes out of nowhere with a bat and CJ says "Ay Big Smoke it's me, Carl. Chill, chill!"

What if Big Smoke was actually expecting Sweet to come back from the cemetery and planned to kill him? But he stopped when seeing CJ was in town and that complicated things too much?

Spotify wants you to update 🫵😠

⏰ Hot take:
You don't need your daily alarm if you would wake up hours later without it. You just need a better sleep schedule.

I think an alarm is useful so you don't miss your schedule by minutes. Like if being less than 15 minutes late is an issue caused by oversleeping, then you definitely need an alarm.

How hard do y'all think building a WordPress plugin would be? I think it's all in PHP and I think I understand that 👀 (last time I touched PHP was like 4 years ago). So there's definitely some learning to do.

If you've ever worked with one, pls lmk

Good morning!

😄 I'm surprised to see that there's so many of you that read Amharic 1954. A lot of people have told me that they find it intimidating or they they don't understand some of the unusual words.

I prefer Amharic 1954 too. I've grown up reading it a lot so I understand the lingo pretty easily. But my favorite thing about it is that the way it's written sounds unique enough that it helps me respect it in that regard. It really feels like I am reading something different, separate from everything else in life... I hope that makes sense.

I had committed to make a video talking about the past Game Jam games. Boooooooy it took a lot of time 😅

Since the Jam Starts tomorrow, I thought of sharing a database of all the past game jam games I could find for your inspiration. After the jam, we can even talk about which games are cool 😉

You can find the database using this link.

Shout out to @MajorJohn23 🥹 this was so sweet to watch.

D5 had been hosting Game Jam events for several years now... I happened to participate in (I think the first) one with ZERO experience in Unity (the game engine) and we had so much fun. A many bunch of us got together in a hall and spent 48 hours building different games, sleeping on desks and whatnot. Nowadays they host it online so more people can participate (and sleep in their own beds loll).
