Videogame developers don’t have to listen to me, but I think if your character generator is complex enough I could easily spend more than a half hour in it, I should be able to save game during it. Especially if it is proceeded by an unskippable intro section. 😒
How to boil water?

I'm underwhelmed by the stability of #Ubuntu. Things *generally* work, but:
It's a coin toss if it will recognize the wifi card on a particular bootup.
Sometimes it works when I tell it to restart; sometimes it just hangs.
Unity crashes disturbingly often. It pops up a bug report form, and *after* I fill in all the details, it informs me that it can't send the report.
#PDXElections continuing to heat up.
One neat aspect to Ranked-Choice Voting is candidates could co-campaign *together* to gain more exposure without sacrificing their own constituency (e.g. "Vote @timurender1, AND @stephrouth for D1").

GameDev problem: the music in our WebGL game on itch.io won't start until the user clicks in the window. Unity claims this is a browser limitation (no autoplay):
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/webgl-audio.html
... but the user has *already* clicked to load and launch the game, so it seems there should be no reason to require another click. I know I've seen WebGL games on itch that don't have this problem.
Does anyone know a workaround?
