The whole "female characters in Battlefield" thing was no big deal, nobody in their right minds plays a BF game for historical accuracy anyway. It was a good change to allow people to customise their characters (finally!) and play as who they wanted.
The dev's attitude of making it out to be some kind of social justice thing, though, was a terrible idea. They shot themselves in the foot there, haha.

Also I am not able to watch the video right now so I have no idea what prompted this discussion.

Earlier I bought a ticket to see The House That Jack Built on Thursday!
Not sure if I'll be able to convince any friends to come along, but it should be a good time regardless. Also, the cinema I'm seeing it at - in addition to being a wicked cool old building - apparently has a licensed bar.

So there's this crazy big free music festival (well, spanning a couple of good local venues, none of this lame stadium crap that is associated with the term "festival") with cheap booze a-plenty taking place today.
Several bands I really dig, several more whom I'm friends with. It oughtta be a tiiiiime, assuming I can stay on my feet for more than a few hours - believe me, these all-day music extravaganzas can take a real toll.

hemocyanin (the thing that copper based blood uses) is apparently unaffected by carbon monoxide and is more effective at oxygenation  than hemoglobin at low oxygen, low temperature environments, which any race of deep tunneling humanoids might see as an advantage

Southern Comfort is doing a promotion, where buying a ten-pack of premix lands you a free pair of shoes! Not exactly the sort of thing I'd normally wear, but they're close enough and it's not like I usually need an excuse to stock up on SoCo, is it?
Even if it is the canned variety.

I dug up a little totara sapling from new Plymouth hospital gardens. It was growing wild in a bit of durt between concrete slabs.
I hope they transplant well.
It took my eye due to its peculiar hardy shape it has attained in its first years

[Castlecliff]

The sapling is doing good. Good transplanter. Been growing lots of mosses and some mycelium. Bought a pack of beers and ive drunk one. Chickens keep coming in my garden so I might be whipping up some tempura real soon.
Neighbor is pissed off that a masive tree limb hit his car so hes trained his chickenpox to come and eat my kale and silverbeet. Fuck they eat everything here. Bet they taste real good eating all my fucking crop...

Apparently there is a present-day worldwide jousting championship, and apparently their tournament circuit is winding up in Australia next month.

I guess emus are close enough to ostriches. I love real-life adaptations of video games.

[Eric Blank]

The thought of emu jousting is exciting

I am unfortunately too big to ride an emu...

[Yoink]

You clearly haven't been feeding your emus the right steroids.

I've started working on a tactics game. There's not a whole lot to show yet except some camera tricks and basic controls and AI.

The exciting part is that I had abandoned a previous project very similar to this, and I've blown past every single stumbling block I had on that previous project. Now I'm actually having fun with the prototyping and implementation stage, before I get to the content creation that bores me to tears and makes me quit every project.

I mean, these are the kind of emus that won a war, and they weren't on the side with guns.
