If you haven't played What Remains Of Edith Finch, and you like games with an excellent narrative, treat yourself and get it. It's a short game, you can complete it in an evening, but the story it tells is beautiful.

Just a bit more rainforest, no one will notice.

Until recently I worked for a big telecoms company as a software engineer. We had time set aside for self development and non-work projects. Originally it was half a day a week, but we found it better to be a day every fortnight.

You could learn a new programming language or tool, build something just for fun or something you thought was useful for the team (we built a custom dashboard with notices etc., a quiz engine for weekly quizzes), or add functionality to a project that wasn't specced or requested, but you thought could add value.

After a while, a department wide code wars league was set up to challenge and learn, we had a yearly Easter egg hunt that involved solving puzzles to find prizes, people did lightning talks to teach things that they'd learnt, workshops, etc.

So much knowledge, skill and confidence was added to the team that was worth way more than what we'd do on any normal day. I'd recommend it to any technical team to try something similar.

There's at least two movies called The Wicker Man, so you might be remembering the other one with Christopher Lee. I think that one has less bees.

Don't forget Final Fantasy XIV. That game got a full rewrite, top to bottom and came out far better than its original state.

According to his trans daughter, he was treating her like shit long before this, so he's always been an asshole.

I think a capsule, permanently drifting through space, frozen, with a plaque on the side saying "this is a warning to everyone" sends a much clearer message.

Worf's son Alexander was born in 2366 and was fighting in the Dominion war by 2374, at 8 years old, so I think he has her beat on precociousness.

This is a message to all straight guys: buy gay underwear!

Get yourself on Andrew Christian, Box, or Aussiebum, or any of the other underwear sites that cater to gay men. We have styles of underwear you wouldn't believe. Yes there'll be rainbows on a bunch of them, but there's plenty that are more "reserved".

BUT, what we do have is a wide range of styles that are comfortable and sexy. We have underwear that separates your cock from your balls, which are really comfortable. We have styles that allow you to show off, or act demure. We have boxer shorts that have freaking pockets!

And because the queer community largely (not always, but we're working on it) accepts all body types, we even cater to larger guys who need a little more room in their smalls.

Seriously boys, get yourself some sexy gay undies. Your junk, and your partners, will thank you.
