  • dragonsweeper!

    it’s a browser-based pick-up-and-play minesweeper-like where you kill monsters in a dungeon, with the end goal being to beat the dragon in the middle of the board.
    you advance by killing monsters hidden on the board, which do damage and give xp equal to their health. so you can only attack monsters at or below your current health. leveling up increases your health. open tiles show not how many monsters are hidden nearby, but their total health.

    a good run takes around 7 minutes. getting a good run can take like 30.


  • we once lost a contract to build a service from scratch because the team didn’t have enough experience with aws lambda.

    there was no stack, no legacy code. the pitch was basically “onlyfans but sfw”, with no further details. as a team we had about 80 years of experience. all seniors. but no, they wanted experience with lambdas.
















  • uwe boll’s postal.

    don’t get me wrong, it’s one of the worst, most disgusting films ever made. it’s like if john waters was a conservative. but there’s a certain… something to it. there are little details that didn’t need to be there that shows some enthusiasm and care for its making.

    like there’s this one scene where the protagonist goes over to his uncle’s sex cult compound and finds him asleep in just an open bathrobe with like seven naked chicks, right? and the dude wakes him up and he has to push them off of him. and as he crawls out from under the blonde sleeping on his crotch, they’ve added a little *plop* sound effect as her head moves away from his dick. like, that’s funny! and totally unnecessary.
