Just finished the game last week! Loved the first part with Leshy, kinda liked the other parts but I also love the meta stuff like having to chose files on the hard drive and so on.

My favourite keyword is probably the one where if the card dies it goes back to your hand. Many possibilities to create broken combos, like with a very cheap or zero cost card.

I listened to the Swedish radio documentary (P3) many years ago and I’ve never forgotten it. Can’t get over how he maybe could have survived but went back to save the life of his friend, he probably understood he sacrificed himself.

I think they do more checks in the beginning, or if you missed to scan something as the system probably sees you as more or a “risc”. I can understand your frustration though

I know some stores mix self scanning and self checkout, usually they’re in the same exit area, or even at the same terminal

You people don’t have self scanning? Pick a barcode scanner at the entrance, scan everything when you put it in your bags in the cart, and just pay at the exit and walk out (unless you get a semi-rare random check). One of the favorite features of the store I use is that I fill the shopping list at home in the app (that can be shared with other accounts) and then I see the list in my phone or the store scanner, sorted by the order of sections in the store, so eg. all fruit and vegetables will be next on the list when I get to that section. I also like that you see your total in real time and the scanner reminds you if there’s a “3 for 2” or other offers.

Especially when you read left to right so the “punchline” should be on the right I think.

Is that a “the pragmatic programmer” reference?

Reminds me of stuff I used to draw for fun as a kid, and not in a bad way at all, it’s just fun to look at and discover the details!

I think it took 6 months before I made a more permanent setup and didn’t just keep everything on a tray I put on my desk. A year after that maybe I removed the computer screen from the desk to fit racks for 100+ paint bottles… A while after that I upgraded the shelves to be able to display more minis and Warhammer books. I think it’s important to let the spaces you use evolve with how you use them. I use the desk for other things but to have it as a painting station primarily makes me paint more

He did speak out against Audible though, but mentioned he was afraid of making him an enemy of Amazon.

Got my first one today! Let’s hope I don’t regret this…
