Got to visit my fav little Sake place in London last night. They've got some new resident food vendor who mostly does Onigiri so figured we'd give them a go. 🍙

Also had 2 flights of Sake, a glass of Awamori and a glass of one of the Sakes I really enjoyed. Feeling a bit delicate today lol. 🍶🩵

Brewdog is basically spoons but for the kind of wankers who have sleeve tattoos but work at a computer rather than a building site.

Cait 🦭🩷 @jernlov.bsky.social · 3d

Gone to the nearest Brewdog for food cos it's the only place that's convenient and it's full of Starmer-likes. Gross. I guess London Brewdogs have a different kind of clientele.

In the pub while we wait for our train and just tried this gorgeous Vault City sour. It's a part of the "You Choose We Brew" series.
Hot Honey, Apple and Mango smoothie! Phwoarrrrr

Decided to start my new DLC CK3 game by playing in Okinawa. Realised I'm basically just cosplaying as Kiryu because I've been taking on loads of wards and raising them to be good people

Actually, fuckit.

Give $10 to the US Goon Fund. They do a good job of faithfully maintaining the fund and making its financials publicly accountable.

Every :tenbux: helps a fellow goon get enough gas to get to work the next day. Enough food to get through a tough spot.

Throw them :tenbux: a month. The operators are posting that they're (understandably) anticipating significant need in November.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

Ethan Evans, former Amazon VP

As VP of Prime Gaming at Amazon, we failed multiple times to disrupt the game platform Steam. We were at least 250x bigger, and we tried everything. But ultimately, Goliath lost. Here's why:

The 15+ year long attempt to challenge Steam started before I was VP of Prime Gaming, but we never cracked the code. Not under my leadership or anyone else's.

The first way we tried to enter the online-game-store market was through acquisition. We acquired Reflexive Entertainment (a small PC game store) and tried to scale it. It went nowhere.

Then, after buying Twitch, we created our own PC games store. Our assumption was that gamers would naturally buy from us because they were already using Twitch. Wrong.

Finally, we built "Luna," a game streaming service that let people play without a high-end PC. Around the same time, Google tried the same thing with their
product "Stadia." Neither gained significant traction. The whole time, Steam dominated despite being a relatively small company (compared to Amazon and Google).

The mistake was that we underestimated what made consumers use Steam

It was a store, a social network, a library, and a trophy case all in one. And it worked well.

At Amazon, we assumed that size and visibility would be enough to attract customers, but we underestimated the power of existing user habits We never validated our core assumptions before investing heavily in solutions. The truth is that gamers already had the solution to their problems and they weren't going to switch platforms just because a new one was available

We needed to build something dramatically better, but we failed to do so. And we needed to validate our assumptions about our customers before starting to build. But we never really did that either.

Just because you are big enough to build something doesn't mean people will use it

I'm a bit 😐 on people going "this is why Labour, the Lib Dems and Greens need to team up!" coz...those parties are nowhere near each other politically. You think Labour and the Lib Dems will give up their pro-austerity policy? That Labour will reverse its anti-trans legislation?

Every day TWICE a day!

It's so weird idk why brushing teeth is just such a battle compared to all the other daily chores.

Washing the dishes and brushing my teeth are the ones I struggle to do and I can't delegate the latter to my boyfriend. 🪥

As an ex smoker I am so sorry to everyone I know who had to put up with me smoking around them because damn guys that really was gross wasn't it?

Cait 🦭🩷 @jernlov.bsky.social · 4d

Agreed. The indoor smoking ban was one of the best things to ever happen.

My Mum tends to smoke in her house and I really hate visiting because I end up coughing for days on end and I have to then wash all my clothes and immediately take a shower to get rid of that stank.

I've been down a rabbit hole of reading about cultural aesthetic trends and stuff and I'm not gonna lie I am a bit nostalgic for a lot of that 90s stuff, including fast food furnishings.

*Sigh* it was so colourful and so smokey.
