some unusual way
For you, unusual would be if it worked out of the box.
If it did, it wouldn't last long.
This points up the age old question: which is harder, iron or steel?

I didn't want to spin up another Windows VM.
Status: Attempted to use Amazon Beanstalk to start up a VM because they promised it would be totes simple and super easy...
Amazon Elastic Beanstalk is an easy-to-use service for deploying and scaling web applications and services developed with Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker on familiar servers such as Apache, Nginx, Passenger, and IIS.
Have zip of files to dump into IIS, seems cut-and-dry, no?
No. Epic failure. Deployment failed because some other unrelated zip file doesn't exist.
Fuck this shit, I'll do it myself I guess...

It's amazing how efficient a car is at that task. (Speaking of which, I need to go to the linen store because the heels of my feet have worn yet another hole in my bed sheet)
Those are called your hooves. Have you tried socks at night?

10/10, would recommend. Also, highly recommend the tennis-ball-on-horn lifehack to save your pillows from carnage!

We all, of course, remember the breakout success of Galactic Plane.
If there's no money in indie gamedev, I may as well make games for myself to enjoy.

Status: Looking up Space Jam on IMDb. Don't ask. I'm not entirely sure why either.
From the synopsis:
In desperation, Bugs Bunny calls on the aid of Michael Jordan, the Babe Ruth of basketball, to help them have a chance at winning their freedom.
I find it interesting that the writer thought:
- it's necessary to explain who Michael Jordan is;
- people who don't know who Michael Jordan is would know about Babe Ruth.

@Gąska I made a pun on socks instead of pillows? I clearly need coffee.
Edit: the same post mentioned socks, so I wasn't completely off-base there.

Drinking coffee with your hand seems mighty convenient. It's the last evolutionary step before IV drip. Are taste buds still involved somehow?

Hopefully not. It's coffee, after all.

As much as I dislike Mason Wheeler, shitting on his dreams directly seemed less than classy. Quietly hoping for his complete and total failure? Classy.

Maybe he's one of those that thinks each button has little wires or gears hooked up behind it.

Too to come up with a joke, too to let someone else do it.

Mid-year performance review today. Normally I would be in full panic attack mode, but I'm on anxiety meds so I'm just really nervous and fidgety.
I'm sure chugging lots of espresso will help with that.

I completely lost the plot of the conversation here. Are you talking about your game (which game??), Mason's game, or are they the same?

Galactic Plane was the game for which Mason Wheeler launched an Indie GoGo campaign here. It raised no money.
My game will raise an equal amount, from an equal number of people, but infinitely more people will enjoy it (1, me, as opposed to 0. 1÷0).

I don't even dislike him (relatively speaking). Did I come off that way?
It didn't need any hoping, quiet or otherwise. Dreams was pretty much all there was to it, and he asked for two mil or something. It never had a chance in hell. What very little he showed didn't convince anybody else either.
Are you going to ask for two mil? Then that's also a foregone conclusion, yeah.

@error There are days I have so much anxiety about what's next that I can barely breathe. Today I have the added bonus of a recruiter calling me about an offer I need to accept or reject after having no time to really think about it since I've been working practically the entire time in between. It's so unpleasant I'm considering getting a prescription...

He enjoyed coding and quoting Sanderson, but 1) he couldn't sell shit 2) coding is 1/10 of what a game he wanted to make consists of
Now, I haven't done anything worth shit in my life, so it feels weird to school people, especially anyone as self-righteous as your average TDWTF shitposter. But a ten-hard reality check was really the best outcome in that particular case. I just hope he picked the right conclusion from it all. I hope nobody did so much shit on his dreams that... I don't know... he started drinking and his super cool - now that particular bit I was always madly jealous about, but those things aren't connected in any way, believe me - went off with a Java coder instead.
