SHAHANSHAH is out in Early Access on itch.io.
Build ancient Persia's cities in the spirit of Pharaoh, then march the King's army into Age of Empires-style battles at Thermopylae and Marathon.
Level 1 is a free demo: reformatgames.itch.io/shahan…

The trees of the Persian empire now keep the seasons. Planes and poplars go gold and red in autumn, each at its own time, then stand bare in winter. This is Sardis turning.
New in SHAHANSHAH, and Early Access is 30% off this week:

- Restaurants have no moat.
- Anyone can vibecook their own meal.
- You can build your own burger at home at a fraction of the cost it takes you to get it from a restaurant.
- If a restaurant builds a really good recipe, copycats will instantly reverse taste it and steal it.
Restaurants are dead.
One house in SHAHANSHAH: walls, colours, roofs, doors, windows and whole new rooms, every one a click, changing live in the world. More than eighty options, and workshops get the same panel.

There was a whole generation between gen x and millennial, born from around 80-85, who are different than everyone else.

Great line from the CTO of Proton. I’m paraphrasing and stealing it :
Your job is not to use agents to help you write code. Your job is to lead the agents to help them write code.

IaC is dead.
Sorry DevOps / SREs / Cloud Engineers but you're in for the same roller coaster as Devs. AI can manage infra change better than you.
Unfortunately for IaC, we don't need code because with the actual system source code and the infra, AIs have everything needed to determine change sets / approvals and dev env lensing.
btw, Effect Oriented Programming probably will help you get there; but that is inevitable for your codebase.

What Yaxel Lendeborg Really Said To Zach Edey👀:
“You’re just tall, n****! On my momma, you got no hands”
This came after a scuffle with Draymond:
Edey: “Don’t touch my point guard… what the f*ck are you gonna do?”
Green: “Shut up, pu**y”
Ike: “We’re not going for that sh*t! You’re not like that”

The funny thing is everyone was saying AI slop code will cause a cyber crisis but it’s actually all the old human slop causing it and the AI is just cleaning it up

Data on 35,000+ adults: the more cannabis you’ve used in life, the bigger your hippocampus and the better your brain works after 40!
People who had ever used cannabis tended to have larger brain volume in key areas that are full of natural cannabis-like receptors (especially the hippocampus, amygdala, caudate, and putamen – these areas are important for memory, emotions, learning, and movement).
The more cannabis someone had used in their lifetime, the larger these brain areas were and the better they performed on tests of learning, processing speed, and short-term memory.
