  • It’s good to know I’m not alone… I buy a lot of games and have a huge catalogue over a number of systems. It really is the thing I enjoy most as downtime.

    However, I can count on one hand how many title screens I have seen over the last 5 years. I get so far, lose interest, move on. Several months later I will feel like playing again, wipe the save and start over rinse and repeat.

    Games that keep calling me back however are Skyrim, Fallout 4 and the Bioshock trilogy.








  • This is seriously impressive… I love it! I’m the director of a design agency as my day job and work with branding often. If someone hit me this as a client refresh or new brand option, I would be pumped. It’s clever, memorable, current and fresh.

    I don’t know if it’s the look Beehaw are going for (I don’t know enough about the instance :) but this is strong enough to stand as primary brand mark for sure.

    Only thing I would mention (which I think I have seen on the thread) is there may be some web accessibility issues on the colour contrast side of things, I would look to touch these up if it went into production.

    You may be on the product side of things, but this is legit very accomplished work!

    Kudos my dude… An epic job ;)



  • This is just beautiful! I’m most definitely sharing this with my Co dev tomorrow. He is going to love the level of scope creep (he is well known for dropping us right in it and leaving them get away with things never discussed or agreed before hand) and the dogs and logo is chefs kiss!

    I’m perplexed daily by what planet some people are living on. Just when you think you have witnessed it all, seen every crazy request in the book a client drops one pit of the blue that leaves you with a feeling of “how the fuck do I respond to this without insinuating their a total and utter moron”.




  • Thanks ! I ended up installing Mint and couldn’t be happier.

    It installed the Nvidia driver for me, the one thing I did note is it didn’t play well in managing the dual graphic chips.r When I was using a secondary display, there was a huge amount of lag on the second monitor even when mirrored.

    I changed the system settings to only use the Nvidia card and job is a good one. It’s been many years since I have dabbled with Linux (I’m talking Windows XP era) and to see how far it’s come and how easy the process is these days was surprising to say the least. I got everything set and today will be the first of using Linux as a daily driver!




  • Thank you !

    At the moment I want it out of the box and just work. I want to see natively how much of my workflow I can actually migrate across. I am however a brute in my day job and have no doubt that once I’m relatively comfortable with some form of Linux I will stretch it and eventually head somewhere I can fully customise like Arch.

    I’m semi Linux literate as I manage a number of web servers so I understand the absolute basics. No more, no less :)




  • I hear you… it’s a killer isn’t it.

    The number of times I have made a rod for my own back with clients… “Yea, I’ll add that I’m for you no problem”…

    The famous last words.

    The can of worms opens and a few rounds of crisis of confidence and tears later, eventually get there and think, I’m keeping my mouth shut from here on in.

    Rinse and repeat :)
