A reminder that @shi is in fact a published comic artist.

It says right there, got paid and everything :)
@CharlotteGore @shi I've been trying to work out in advance exactly how bad the film would have to be before I would want to walk out before it finished.
Unfortunately I have watched a lot of terrible movies so I think my tolerance is too high to actually want to walk out.
@CharlotteGore @shi and I are going to the "mystery screening" there tomorrow. https://bradford.lightcinemas.co.uk/mystery-screening because picking a film is far too much effort.
Ohhh Forbidden Planet is on the prime https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HS58XDQ

Turns out that if you want to publish in germany you have to replace everything with zombies.
It is one of the special rules to stop germans turning into nazis, like a mogwai fed after midnight.
In related news.
Are there too many zombie games?
Or are there too many middlemen who think their opinion this afternoon is far more important than years of creative effort? https://twitter.com/egoraptor/status/997602322300653568
Obviously, over many millions of years of non use the wings shrank and disappeared and that is why they can not fly back into space. https://twitter.com/DailyGrail/status/996705771801853953
Ripped out all of the special #gamecake PI code, that you used to need to run without X11 etc. With the latest drivers and a PI3 it is now just an arm Linux target. No special magic needed, lovely jubbely :)
https://twitter.com/dougbinks/status/996353915179454464 @dougbinks @juulcat Yup, price to keep it ticking over was the same for us, I think that's how they get ya :)
Just that the hickups became more obviously annoying and we decided to move away.
https://twitter.com/wetgenes/status/996352066124701696 @dougbinks @juulcat That plus the sort of traffic that one little server could easily handle will work out 3-10 times more expensive through GAE, possibly more.
https://twitter.com/wetgenes/status/996350639734214658 @dougbinks @juulcat Just felt like the hoops you need to jump through for "scale" are not worth it, especially when you realise that you will probably never get the quantity of traffic in spikes to make the scale worthwhile.
https://twitter.com/dougbinks/status/996309619684323328 @dougbinks @juulcat I used to use GAE a lot, but moved away a few years back when I noticed that low traffic sites sometimes had huge hickups loading, a problem I suspect with the basic architecture design. Not always the first hit after a gap but presumably cold cache/spin up related issues.
@ekoner I don't know, I mean it is currently shedding into the heat and my face.
Pretty certain it is a bug.
https://twitter.com/juulcat/status/996069350783307782 @juulcat @GCPcloud FYI Dedicated servers (in france) are incredibly cheap nowadays.
Starting from around 15 euro a month from here https://oneprovider.com/dedicated-servers/paris-france
Had a VPS die a couple of months ago and discovered I could now move to a dedicated box for the same price.
Something I am still amazed by :)
Furry bug impeding progress.
For some reason my brain keeps thinking about how the fantastic four and their powers would translate perfectly into cenobites with their afflictions.
I think this has something to do with how the hellraiser movies keep getting worse and FYI we are up to number 10 now.
Still 4 hours to pick up ELEX for cheaps.
Well worth it if you enjoy a bit of interesting open-world-rpging.
Story falls apart at the end, same as it does with prey but the start and middle are great, just skip the end :)
