Updated Chrome today, and was immediately given a prompt about how my browsing preferences would be directly used to feed me ads.
Chrome auto-enabled a feature that sends sites info to send me personalized ads based on browsing history, the ability for sites to determine what I like and update the ads as I browse, and the ability for sites to measure ad effectiveness.
These are built-in features of the browser now.

The story for my new game is about a going on an epic quest to find some Pumpernickel bread for an ailing grandfather. There is no "big bad", it's just a journey of discovery and exploration (with Diablo II style combat and looting).

#ProjectWeirdLittleGuy update for #ScreenshotSaturday added a second layer of world generation so I can render lower fidelity tiles out into the very far distance. Now I am back to having to work out more of the high level game design

Please don’t come.
Cancel your trip and donate the money to the Hawaii Community Foundation Maui Strong Fund instead.
I always get friends telling me I should submit talks to things but then I never feel like I have actual content for presentations? I work really well in dialogue, answering questions, and I know lots of things but I'm not the expert that should be talking, it's not my stuff to present, and I do a lot of weird and innovative stuff but that's my work, I've done those ideas and usually they don't have something useful for the audience to take away so it just feels like bragging, or maybe an ad, you could actually just see the weird stuff by being audience to the work.
I'm always happy to teach but I always assume my peers are my peers, I'm just using the same tools they are.
