They wrote up a pretty good blog post about how they made the music transitions work: https://www.platinumgames.com/official-blog/article/9581

Definitely on my list of games I wish I could play again for the first time.

Nit, but I think that 24.8% is a subset of the 54.3%, not additive - i.e. “family members” are included in the category of “people you know.”

(Confirmed with the pie chart in your first link.)

I might be missing something, but I think you can use `asdf shell` for this: https://asdf-vm.com/manage/commands.html

A random sampling - Thundercat, Louis Cole / Knower, MonoNeon, Nate Smith, Vulfpeck, GoGo Penguin, Snarky Puppy

Interested in other recommendations too!

This has been roughly my experience and reaction on PC as well. Save and load is annoying but not a blocker at 5-10 seconds, but I would probably be pretty miserable at 3-5 minutes per restart.

I’ll point folks over to https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmyjoystick/ (Like “tip of my tongue,” but for games.) Just a solid community helping people find long-lost games.

+1 for Summoning Salt. I especially liked his Mario Kart Wii video, where he explains the mechanics of the lap counting system in detail.

I currently have this symptom. I ordered extremely spicy Thai food last week. I could feel the heat, but not taste anything at all.

After about 4 days, I regained some ability to differentiate between salty/sour/sweet, but it’s been in and out for the last 2-3 days. I accidentally poured too much mustard on a sandwich at lunch today and could not have told you there was any mustard on it at all in a blind test.

Tried it out for a couple hours today! A quick experience report:

  - Collaborative editing was very solid, even with one of us using vim extensions and the other one not. (This has caused me some pain in Screen.so in particular.)
  - The leader/follower model was slightly unintuitive at times. I vaguely recall Floobits allowing either participant to e.g. create new files, but in GitDuck the leader has to share them to the workspace for them to become editable. (I might also be misremembering this from the Floobits days, but it was slightly confusing.)
  - Similar to ^ - when I was not leading, I couldn't summon the leader into a file I was editing, so I had to tell him when I was switching files. IIRC Floobits let you take yourself in/out of follow mode, even as the leader, so you would be automatically summoned when the other person switched files.
  - Looking forward to terminal support - glad that's on your roadmap :)
  - Our team is 50/50 between vim and VSCode right now, so we're looking forward to vim8/neovim support to really feel the power compared to Screen.so and Tuple.

Overall, had a surprisingly smooth experience for Day 2. Congrats on the launch and looking forward to future updates!

I was a big fan of Floobits a few years back. Tuple and Screen.so are great, but we have devs split between VSCode, vim 8, and Neovim, with different configurations. I would definitely pay for cross-editor collaboration that works.

I’ll give this a shot tomorrow with some friends and see how it goes!

I have found a large LinkedIn network to be useful for finding customer interviews for startup ideas. There are a lot of people that I am connected to enough that an intro from them beats a cold email. I often will find a company that seems like a good fit for a problem or idea I am working on, see if I have any second-degree connections there, and ask for an intro.

I really enjoyed Brad Feld's post[1] on choosing how to use each social network you sign up for. On LinkedIn, I've decided to be a public, promiscuous consumer. On Twitter, I am public, selective, and a mix of consumer/producer. Facebook is one that I probably need to cut even more than I do, since I don't have a strategy and get little value from it.

Social networks can be tools, and if they are not providing value, it may mean you need to use the tool differently or get rid of it if it doesn't solve a problem you have.

Maybe you're just using the wrong heuristic for Twitter? I never follow more than 100 people and periodically cull my list down to that if I go over. My goal is primarily to follow interesting people, especially other local programmers, people who are working on cool research topics I would otherwise miss, and friends who make me laugh. I remove anyone who is too noisy for too long, even if they are interesting. Twitter is by far my favorite social network and is generally high-signal for me.

Popularity seems like an anti-goal unless you're selling something.
