I'm Not Happy That Remain Lost 
but sulking about the result is not going to help at all.

Do I think Britain is now completely fucked? Yes, I have lost a lot of sleep about it (I've had 4 hours in 48).

Britain has had the worst class divide since Thatcher and people came out in droves to kick the government square in the balls. Oh and we'll feel the pain of that swift kick for a long time.
The working class are definitely going to suffer the most.

We're all going to have to put the kettle on and have a cup of tea, that might make things seem a little better. 
This Is For Bler 
 
It's like witnessing the fucking zombie apocalypse happening - just watching now our steel industry going up in smoke as Tata Steel's bidders are pulling out apparently.

I wonder what the "Poles takin are jobs" crowd will be saying when there are no jobs anymore?

I'm not sure if you're joking or not. Tata Steel sounds like some kind of porn name. 
 
Some decisions the pollies should know not to trust the voters with.
Now Germany and Britain can have another war ;>.

But seriously, Good luck to yous.. things will work out. 
 
 
Zwiffle - it's true, and that wouldn't even make it into a list of the top 100 bad things that have happened in the last 72 hours. In fact not only is it emerging that no-one actually thought this would happen, it is also emerging that no-one even made a plan for what to do if this did happen:

Don't Try This At Home 
OTP Pointed Out A 404,so... 
Welcome Home. 
 
Postal Much? 
 
So 
Got matched with a self proclaimed bipolar girl(I think) on Tinder.

How the fuck do I interpret the sentence: "I suck octopi on the first date"?

On her primary picture she has an octopus on her face, if that helps. 
Just Dive In. Enjoy The Waves. Splash A Bit. Have Fun. 
 
 
She could mean she enjoys sea food and eats octopus in a weirdly specific way.

Yeah, I know, I've been accused of being optimistic before. 
She Likes The Cthulhu 
 
 
I tried recording a narrated gameplay video. I hate my voice. And I don't express myself in an entertaining way.

Afterwards, I've watched a couple videos from Daz. This made me realize how huge is the difference. The mindset plays a really important role in this kind of activity.

I'll have to practice a lot. 
Practice Helps! 
 
Okay This Sucks 
Last week I decided to redo schlossherr's second map because I was unsatisfied with the layout. And while I was able to redo the first third of the map with a new layout within this time frame, I still have to make the other two thirds and polish it AND playtest it.

I'm afraid I won't be able to make it on time for the QExpo for the 16th because I'll also be gone for vacations from the 9th to the 23rd. This sucks so much because this is the second time I'll miss a deadline and that will squash my reputation as the one missing deadlines all the time(doesn't help that last year's contribution was a total mess design-wise because I had to rush it meaning no playtesting and no polishing).
It doesn't help when I spend the majority of my time procrastinating... 
I Think Any Quake Map 
Released at any time is always a good thing.

I rather play a polished map at a later date than a wonky one to hit a non-critical deadline. 
It's Supposed To Be A Two Map-long Demo For This QExpo 
out of 8-planned maps. I set this limitation to myself like, back in March/April and look where I am now.
I also did a preview booth for god's sake, I can't let that slip 
 
I've also missed a deadline, as I wanted to release an updated Quake engine for the Dreamcast during Quake's birthday but some things got in the way.

Now I scrapped that plan completely, as the DC community showed zero interest. 
The Best I Can Do If I Miss The Deadline 
is to release the demo with just the one finished map. But I feel like that'd be too little. 
 
One map is better than zero maps. And, unless you can show me the Kryptonian ship where you came from to this planet, nobody can really scold you, or do anything to you for that :) .
