What did you do today?

I know that devs are rushing to get games done, but you would think by now that the insane frame rate during menus / loading thing causing whine would be one of the things that they would find a way to eliminate in pretty much every title.

I'd read somewhere that menu is being reimplemented on every game, which is stupid from developer's point of view. These are game devs foraying into gui devs realm, so the usual beginner's pitfalls of gui development are all over the place.

To add, gui toolkit in game frameworks aren't typically very advanced, which I think because they already have steep learning curve and gui is the least of their concern.

Bought 3 games from my wishlist that were on sales:

• Blaze rush
• Cross code
• Tyranny

I still have way too much backlog to buy any more games. Finishing up story mode on Lego Batman 1. Overall, it might just be my favorite of the Lego Batmans. I'll reserve final comments until I've finished free play and the 2 bonus (heroes' and villains') levels.

Yas, you got CrossCode too! 1.0 coming at end of summer hopefully.

Same here. Mostly due to having a potato for gaming. It is a Swiss Army knife for productivity still. Looking forward to your comments. Enjoy your games!


Today, I hung out for a best friend and discussed things like getting a car vs. renting a living space. Their advice? Decide and follow-through, never looking back. Did some online window shopping for clothes and shoes. Currently looking over my new part-list for Full Circle and deciding on what should be bought first.

Work was good today, almost no patients in the afternoon.

Portugal is playing so I got out early from work to buy snacks and beer.

Got a package from Amazon that was half opened and a noctua y Split is missing.

Just now standing with the girl asking for dinner at a Indian place.

I just sat here...thinking about Newegg and the 800 bones of mine that they have.

I spent the first six hours of work today going through all of the stuff I've accumulated in the last seven years at work and then setting up my office for the fifth (but final!) time in the last three months.

We've been playing musical chairs with offices for the last three months (TL;DR: roof-destroying hailstorms and torrential rains don't mix with software development), and while it wasn't fun to be leading a team of software developers as we danced between offices in a construction zone, the end result is well worth it. Plus, it certainly doesn't hurt that I came out ahead in terms of office assignments. Quite a few of us were in offices that didn't match up with what we were doing at the company, so I went from a cramped, interior office (one I had chosen for myself years ago and liked rather well, to be fair) to a spacious, window office with a great view and low foot traffic. If only it had a bigger whiteboard...

Off work today so hit some parks with the kids until the rain was too heavy to stay outside. Back home for some R&R. Nice low key afternoon.

Tonight I probably will be able to resist the Steam sale. I think...maybe.

 

[Soul_Est]

Work today was quiet. Supervisor is on vacay so I put more time into learning and helping. I watched another episode of Darling In The FranXX and I received the keycaps and case for my Planck (Rev. 6).

Work was busy today. Got Ys VIII for the Switch and an iFixit toolkitfor personal / work.

Realized that the Adventurer's Edition of Ys VIII is a regular edition. Really?

 

[Nightblade]

Work today was not busy at all, all the work orders were pretty much done by the time I got to work. Though I had the pleasure of breaking down some boxes from a shipment and popping the air bags that were left over in the boxes.

Took a mental health day off from my day job. Depression and Anxiety Disorder are horrible conditions, sapping my creativity, my ability to write and my ability to be social. Don't need sympathy, just need understanding that reviews are a little delayed!

 

[Choidebu]

Depression and Anxiety Disorder

D.A.D ?? So that what it means being a dad??? I'm doomed.

 

[confusis]

@Choidebu Well, you're not wrong

 

[Biowarejak]

Heavy update on #77, aside from that I took my 3rd exam today and finished watching season 2 of Luke Cage. Also, lots of EVE playing.

 

[VegetableStu]

Forcing myself to go to step 2 now. the more I look at this the more I alt tab to chrome and look at spec pages ,_,
(and don't get me started on the motherboard because I just revisited the illustrator file for it ,_, being out of touch with the project sucks)

Take whatever time you need.

Today was hectic at my job. Multiple computers deployed and configured. Remote troubleshooting and work on colleagues' computers. More research and development going into making Windows 10 work for the company.

Today had its ups and downs. I found out the night before I went to bed that I got the invitation to order my Tesla Model 3. I was so excited I only got 3 hours of sleep. I woke up this morning feeling like shit. Did all the paper work and got it ordered. Then got an automated text telling me I forgot to clock in to work. I'm like wtf? Then checked my schedule and my boss decided to schedule me on a Friday when I never work Fridays. So I text my boss that I wasn't coming in because I was sick. Then after that I crashed back in bed and slept till 4 pm-ish, then worked on my beta track for Trackmania 2.


Then I left at around 6 pm to go to a friend's house who wanted to cut my hair for free(its a hobby thing). After that, played some DC Deck building with some friends and got crushed. (I ended up with only 11 VP and the guy who won bought every super villain and ended up with 40 VP)
