Re: Invoicing software

What are the features that you pay for that you find useful?

For Freshbooks (which is probably same or similar for Wave):
- Automatic payment reminders so clients pay on time more often
- Integrations to other tools, using Zapier, for automations so I never have to build an invoice again ...

Re: I have no idea what happened

You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Glad we're back, and you know what? I'm okay with some downtime... this is our piece of internet nostalgia, downtime and all

Re: Invoicing software

It's funny, I've been using and loving Freshbooks, but the prices do keep increasing—which had me considering Wave... but of course, the grass is always greener on the other side, isn't it.

It's all to be expected though; we used to live in a world where software ran on our computers. We now rent ...

Re: Develop in Brighton, UK this Summer

I'm always up for lifelong learning. While I've no interest in games at the moment, it's always helpful to hear how others break down scripts. There's a lot of commonalities, but always different/new nuggets to learn, too.

Re: Develop in Brighton, UK this Summer

Super cool, Deebs! The lessons you teach for games also apply to other genres, too, and it'll be a shame we can't see it unless we're there in person—riiiiiight? :)

Re: NPCs and AI

I don't game much, but it would be amazing to see a world where the NPCs can say whatever comes to their mind—all AI of course—while the voice actor whose voice was cloned gets fairly compensated for that. There are responsible uses of AI, but how we get there... some big huge game development shop ...
