I looked into arts council grants and they just flatly do not do game development, sadly

Already got the landlord and energy companies lording it over me…
Would like it if they had a loan option or similar. Business loan was the only option left, grants come in tranches anyway, could have just had milestone based grant tranches.

In order to get the “content” (aka “make the game”) grants (at least recently when I applied) you needed to have at least 2 PAYE employees working on the game AND have the other half fully funded by non grant means.
Solo Devs are rejected out of hand and that seems incredibly short sighted. I am biased though.
- Comment on Lactose tolerant individuals are descendants of those who survived diarrhea from drinking milk. 5 days ago:
Mammals drink boob juice (it’s in the name)
Mammals grow up and stop drinking it, so they stop producing the enzyme.
If you don’t stop (i.e drink a cow’s milk after breastfeeding) then you keep producing it I’m pretty sure I read about continued ingestion can re-enable the enzyme production (as in, you can eat yourself tolerant again)
There may be genetic conditions that make the intolerance permanent though IANAD

- Comment on Plant Slurs 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s a shame to get rid of it, I’m usually happy to let it go crazy for a few months so the bees and birds have their way. But I learned about bramble growth the hard way. Didn’t know they were vibes or they spread from the tips. Thought I could just chip the main stem and it wouldn’t be a big deal. But it’s had 2 summers now and when I cut the grass (or tried to) surprise!
The floor is bramble vines too. Like something out of a horror film, just kept pulling them up, ruined 2 pairs of gloves and 2 sets of secateurs , it’s only a tiny garden! (And the first sets were never up to the task)
Luckily I have some other bushes and ferns for stuff to live in but I just don’t have time to stay on top of the mechanical side to control it.

Cheaper than buying my third set of secateurs, I’ll give it a go, thanks!
- Comment on Plant Slurs 2 weeks ago:
If I can use it in a targeted way with limited collateral I will take it.
It between a shed and neighbours fence so as long as I don’t end up nuking their garden there’s not much else to affect.
Thanks

I wish someone had warned me before no now may about brambles.
1 shoulder injury and a year later I need chainmail gloves and a fucking flamethrower. I fill my green bin with brambles, by the time it’s picked up they’ve grown back.
The main root is under a shed. I don’t know how to eliminate it.

I searched for “vorlon ambassador” and that guy came up first, I didn’t recognise the name but it’s been a hot few decades.
Kosh was what I really wanted.

Be a shame if a few drones flew over and sprinkled dry lubricant all over the road.
And if it’s dry weather throw in a few more with some water sprinklers.

- Comment on Supreme Commander HelpLine 5 months ago:
I got to play FaF with a top ranked player Vs 8 of us low-mid tiers (and one total novice)
We were still pottering about setting up defences and he had filled his half of the map with factories and quickly killed 2 or 3 of us. We won but only because one of us had a gunship squadron going around the map edge and found his commander.
It’s quite astonishing what he did in such a short time.
It did kind of kill my enthusiasm for it though, an excession event where you realise you are just a pathetic minnow. Humbling
