  • My living space is clean but looks untidy (male). I don’t keep things on shelves and cupboards (apart from clothes and books I’m not reading at the moment), everything (mostly tech and studying stuff) goes on the floor. It’s not unorganised, I know where everything is and I don’t just throw stuff on the floor, if something is in a place on the floor I put it there for a reason and NO ONE SHOULD MOVE IT. Expensive stuff that can break if it is stepped on and stuff I don’t want to step on gets placed near the edges of rooms and under tables. Once every week it all gets thrown on my bed (still organised) so I can clean but after that it all goes back on the floor.








  • One of my favourite game dev stories from the 1980s is the story of Elite. It was a game people thought couldn’t be made. Most devs thought hardware wasn’t powerful enough and publishers thought it wouldn’t be fun enough.

    It was one of the first properly 3D open world video games ever made. I think when it released it sold nearly as many copies as there were home computers that could run it.

    In order to make the game small enough to fit on a cassette tape they had to ditch basic and program the entire game, world in assembly.

    There’s a fantastic video about it here: https://youtu.be/lC4YLMLar5I
