The original music was from Alias Conrad Coldwood. Many songs contained samples of questionable copyright and he was afraid that Content ID systems would copyright strike people he'd already given permission to use the music in the past. Here's a screenshot of his email and the source of it (from reddit sorry).

The music was pretty good so it's a shame, but I'm sure Toby Fox did a good job replacing it. Pepper Steak was the most well-known and was the regular battle music. It's swing (electroswing?) and very memorable. Also I really like Fake Orchestra and Minuit a fond la caisse.

That's exactly how it went at my last workplace. Management wasn't satisfied with employees meeting the new goals and started stressing it so much every team lead was faking metrics just to prevent further harassment about it. Ended up having teams spending a lot of time fabricated metrics instead of working to prevent further bother from the higher ups. Soon everyone was reporting lots of deployment accomplishments during a period in which we weren't allowed to deploy changes, and there was a quiet consensus among everyone that you had to fabricate data.

The higher ups can never fail, only be failed, and so everyone better get good at lying, or else they're getting fired for failing to meet goals.

Is this from Blender? Blender by default shows both sides of a face, while most game engines hide the back face. So I'd guess that missing face might have its face orientation flipped compared to the others, and gets culled because of it.

Huh, that dog is pretty much identical to my dog with the saturation turned way up. It's uncanny. Justice for Xiaopang!

I think a lot of the shivering isles aesthetic holds up better. Lots of vibrant colors and weird shapes that made it a lot more interesting looking than Skyrim, which is just as outdated looking but also boring

I switched off Duck Duck Go when the Ukraine war started and they proudly began censoring Russian websites. (Tweet, lib news). If they're gonna do that what's the point in using them over Google or Bing? Plus they were advertising on the local radio in my tiny shithole town, which seemed like a red flag for a "less corporate" search engine.

Yandex has been good, mostly glad that it seems better at including the more niche keywords I search instead of ignoring them like Google does

Zuckerberg and Musk both feature themselves heavily in their company's marketing, unlike Google's founders. It's hard to see any news about the companies without seeing those two.

Also Americans hate Gates and Bezos? I hear people shittalk them far more often than Zuckerberg in real life. Especially Gates, since he's the center of a lot of conspiracy theories too

Thanks for reminding me to delete my account. It's been trying to force that log-in thing for a while for me at least. Imagine making a competitor to GitHub that sucks even worse

I remember that developer posting about his game on a development forum on Knockout.chat and getting banned because a zionist threw a fit. Good to see he's still active!

Pistachio milk is pretty good but stronger flavored. Macadamia nut milk is all around great.

We were taught PEMDAS as parentheses, exponentiation, multiplication OR division, addition OR subtraction. I don't know if it was changed at some point but I don't know anyone who was taught that multiplication comes before divison

Blades in the Dark is a cool heist and organized crime drama ttrpg that uses d6 dice pools (usually not too many, 1 to 5 total)
