Black Mirror was supposed to mostly be a cautionary tale, not instructional.

Hey there! They are simply being inclusive, blind people are potential customers too and should not miss on any “opportunities”…

As I am now more in “jump in, jump out” mode, CS2 from time to time, but mostly The Hunter (COTW) with friends and family, mostly as a background to talk and hang out, eventually some solo missions if there is more time or on a rainy day.

You are now a Certified Rejector. Stay sharp, keep the wheel rolling.

but remember kids, the bird THEORETICALLY re-evolved as evolution is just a THEORRRY!

There should be a special division in all patenting offices called Burning With Fire ™

This is one of the most influential games ever for so many different reasons… I am definitely a big fan and have a lot of great memories with the classic one on NES, especially the 1v1 mode. It was a pure joy to play with my uncle, brother, friends or mom, she preferred Battle City tho!

This was long time ago, now if I play, I go for the Tetris Effect — which doesn’t change the main formula, it mostly builds around it or plays with it.

One of — counterintuitively — not so many games that you can just keep playing to get better at them, as your brain rewires itself and conscious decision making process goes into the deep, unconscious brain backroom magic. Of course to be the best there is a lot of technical knowledge or some tactical aspects but the base gameplay loop just keeps you in self-learning mode or more often than not, in the flow state.

Yeah, I’ve started searching for options and now I am thinking about it, there is LinkAce too…

Same unfortunately goes for a big chunk of the law on a global scale… Constant progress, new possibilities and technologies, changes in general are really outpacing some dusted and constantly abused solutions. Every second goes by and any “somehow still holding” relic is under more pressure. As a species we can have some really great ideas but the long-term planning or future-proofing is still not our strongest suit.

For me, this is what works best now:

LibreWolf with:

• uBlock Origin

• CanvasBlocker

• raindrop.io — not as an extension but a pinned tab, mostly for convenience to keep my saved websites and articles in one place, if anyone knows anything better, or more useful, or open source, let me know

Oh, no worries, I’ve read it. What I meant by the quote is, you are not stuck anywhere, you are just camping in one of the best spots in the game…

I can only hope you had the polaroid and some charcoal on you to map out that great vista in the meantime, between all that looting the cargo containers.

Well, as the devs wanted the visual feeling of the game to resemble a painting — then it only fits to say “there are no mistakes here, just happy accidents”…

For over a decade now, I am fortunate enough to just let my body decide, so I go to sleep whenever I feel like I want to sleep and wake up whenever it happens…

Hours are funny tho, middle point is probably somewhere around 6, sometimes there are times when it is closer to 4, and less often but it happens, around 8.

From my observations and whenever I talk with anyone invested in their routines, it mostly boils down to quality over quantity. Shitty 9 or 10 hours might feel terribly unpleasant and 30 min power nap can do wonders sometimes.

I always believed to be the night owl until I discovered it can switch for me and then I figured out a new option of being a morning lark — I must say, both have some benefits actually but the whole day timetable changes dramatically.

I don’t know if this will help you anyhow.

With trees, especially during winter it can be harder, you can approach the topic in many different ways, it all depends on what effect you are mostly interested in.

Seek the tree that stands out in its surroundings to build on that contrast or find some trees that can be composed nicely in a frame to focus on a harmony? Those basic things can be very helpful, if you want, you can show balance or lack of it.

Good practice can be focusing on your feelings and searching for a picture that will go well with what you feel, because only you will see it there, in that moment. You feel sad or tired — search for a sad and tired tree and capture it… or maybe you feel calm and focused on continuing that book or episode of great series? Then find a tree that could be in that book or be a frame from that series…

Or maybe you want to get lost in the woods and search for some great patterns and shapes — light can be really amazing there, or… maybe wait for a foggy day?

Can you imagine at least a vague version of what you would like to create and then follow that vision?

Lastly, if it’s a subject that you don’t feel at all and you just want to force yourself out of the comfort zone as a practice — just go, batteries fully charged and take as many photos as your camera will let you. This is actually scientifically proven method, when doing anything creative / expressive go for quantity first and later search for quality. It is so much easier to select at least one fine / good picture from over two hundred than from zero.

Yeah, major bullet dodged there. Just when I started actually appreciating Figma and heard about the Adobe plans, I automatically felt like I just need to hate Figma to not get used to it too much — just in case.

Affinity is great and gets better, Figma stays great and gets better, for now at least, all fine with me. No Adobe logo anywhere in sight — good news for me.

“The feeling hit me like a point blank shot straight in the face.”

Some say they are Nokias 3310 among laptops.

From all the people I knew that ever had them, they still have, very often still use and eventually compare any other / newer laptops with them.

Wait… so why is it 69/23 for me?
