“Gettin’ dunked”, as we used to say

I looked into arts council grants and they just flatly do not do game development, sadly

Already got the landlord and energy companies lording it over me…

Would like it if they had a loan option or similar. Business loan was the only option left, grants come in tranches anyway, could have just had milestone based grant tranches.

In order to get the “content” (aka “make the game”) grants (at least recently when I applied) you needed to have at least 2 PAYE employees working on the game AND have the other half fully funded by non grant means.

Solo Devs are rejected out of hand and that seems incredibly short sighted. I am biased though.

I love genuine and wholesome interactions with real people! 🍋‍🟩🦎🕺🏻

Mammals drink boob juice (it’s in the name)

Mammals grow up and stop drinking it, so they stop producing the enzyme.

If you don’t stop (i.e drink a cow’s milk after breastfeeding) then you keep producing it I’m pretty sure I read about continued ingestion can re-enable the enzyme production (as in, you can eat yourself tolerant again)

There may be genetic conditions that make the intolerance permanent though IANAD

The pasta would cook itself

Yeah, it’s a shame to get rid of it, I’m usually happy to let it go crazy for a few months so the bees and birds have their way. But I learned about bramble growth the hard way. Didn’t know they were vibes or they spread from the tips. Thought I could just chip the main stem and it wouldn’t be a big deal. But it’s had 2 summers now and when I cut the grass (or tried to) surprise!

The floor is bramble vines too. Like something out of a horror film, just kept pulling them up, ruined 2 pairs of gloves and 2 sets of secateurs , it’s only a tiny garden! (And the first sets were never up to the task)

Luckily I have some other bushes and ferns for stuff to live in but I just don’t have time to stay on top of the mechanical side to control it.

Cheaper than buying my third set of secateurs, I’ll give it a go, thanks!

If I can use it in a targeted way with limited collateral I will take it.

It between a shed and neighbours fence so as long as I don’t end up nuking their garden there’s not much else to affect.

Thanks

I wish someone had warned me before No Mow May about brambles.

1 shoulder injury and a year later I need chainmail gloves and a fucking flamethrower. I fill my green bin with brambles, by the time it’s picked up they’ve grown back.

The main root is under a shed. I don’t know how to eliminate it.

That time I made banana bread but with salt instead of sugar. Accidentally, of course.

It looked sad and squishy, I tried a bit anyway. It was odd, my tongue detected something amiss, but the bad taste arrived a second or two after my brain started “reacting”, like warning lights were flashing but I didn’t know why.

And then the taste of bananabrine arrived and my face locked up in a rictus grimace.i couldn’t control my mouth so I had to scrape it out with my hand.

Truly awful.
