@Vexatos @karen would it help if I told you that IQ tests don't really measure anything except for good you are at doing IQ tests? :3 There's an Adam Ruins Everything clip on YouTube that debunks it quite well.

Mirror at home:
"I'm looking great!"

Bathroom mirror at the office:
😐 *slow reach for a brown paper bag with eye holes*

One of those mirrors is lying to me and I *will* find the culprit. 😒

@judges119 Article says there's no obvious way to stop this, but I'm thinking that not autofilling an invisible textfield element would be a good first step :p (next they'll just flash a DIV and kill it right after, but you know. Baby steps.)

@tashepard yuss~ 💕!!

@theycallmemo coming up next: Mastodon Gold⭐ accounts?

@mimtschan hug :(

@Mirzaba TL;DR C/C++ was designed to have 'raw' access to the hardware. Work faster but can be easy to break, need more care while coding. C# and Java are friendlier with more tools to make development and cross platform easier but at the cost of being slower and heavier on resources.

There's a lot more going on but not enough for a toot. Check this for more info: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-C-C++-and-C

Will be happy to answer questions if you have any.

@Mirzaba Just a heads up, Unreal specifically uses C++ which is different from C# (which is more like Java, except better :p ). The basics and concepts are the same, however, so it'll make it easier to learn.

@Mirzaba From my adventures with game design a good approach is to decide on a tool that would work best for a project (or single tool for several projects in your case) and then go with whatever work best for that tool.

For example if you're going with Unity, C#. If you decide on Godot then GodotScript is pretty much a given. Etc etc.

If you're new to game design then Unity might be a good choice thanks to having a large, supportive community.

@elomatreb There was a manga but other than the art it took itself seriously and didn't use anime/manga tropes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Manga

@linen I placed mine in a folder. This way it's somewhere less silly than an envelope but not staring at me from a wall, and I can easily get to it if I ever want to.

Coming to think of it the silliest part was that I even took the time to put on shoes.

That time when I basically walked about 5 steps out of my house before remembering I'm only in undies, shirt and thigh highs.

Not sure if massively distracted or secret exhibitionist

@Mirzaba Personally my solution is to choose 2 to 3 projects, break them down into itsy bitsy steps and then alternate between them - doing at least one or two steps per project. It usually gets me moving forward and feeling accomplished.

@elomatreb People in the US are also surprised when you tell them that they can get multiple TV stations for free via aerial. Many assume it's a form of pirating and cannot process that this resource is made intentionally public.

There's an article on WSJ about this somewhere. We live in interesting times.

Me: Hope I wake up earlier today.
Brain: Ok!
*middle of the night*
Brain: Good morning!
Me: o.o
Brain: 😬

@Raelynn I know this isn't what it's referring to but it keeps reminding me of 'Walter the Wobot'.

This is not necessarily a good thing. 🤖

@maxy I agree that time management skills are very important, but in my personal experience by the time I have free time from my job I have no energy left for anything creative and I just end up resting until the next day when it's time to get to work again.

Weekends are just as bad, alas.
