Ugh, no idea. Just clicked share image
The pace drove me a bit mad. So much stuff front loaded with all kinds of things in play, then you reach a point where they want you to wait X in game days for a crucial item so it grinds to a halt
All the little car icons add up to a lot of space, you need a separate one for each driver
Minute, pronounced like “my newt”, means tiny
Worked for me! Roommate was throwing a party and my now-wife got dragged along to it by her friend
Why a basking shark instead of a whale shark though?

Having a regular schedule of updates helps get individual big fixes or features out faster. You may not notice a difference because you may not experience the bugs that are being fixed. There may be slight changes to features that you don’t use enough to notice. There could even be features that are disabled until they’re remotely enabled. Mobile apps often run A/B tests for changes to see how those changes affect user behavior, so you might be in the “no change” test cohort when you don’t see changes, those changes may never activate on your installation if the test doesn’t pan out.
I recently convinced my team to adopt this practice so I’ve been brushing up on it. When done right it can mean a more stable app and quicker response to issues since it relies heavily on monitoring app performance, bug reports, and user reviews. Communication to users is hard since you don’t want to have every update be “fixed bugs” but it’s also unnecessary to say “fixed an issue where a batch upload job didn’t handle individual errors by retrying” for each change that may not actually impact you as a user but which impacts the business that builds the app.
Natural selection is dead.
What a concept
Thank you! That’s what I was going for

It’s a play on the classic riddle:
You’re walking on the beach with your good friend Jesus, huffing paint and dissociating. At one point you forget what you were doing and look over at Jesus, then back behind you at the sand. Behind you there’s only one set of footprints. You ask Jesus why he left you and he looks directly at the you who is reading this, not the you who is in the story, and asks “Why do you think there’s only one set of footprints?”
You were both hopping on one foot
It’s a wonderful game with one fatal flaw: it’s too late to kick someone when they call me cringe for saving Doretta’s head
