do you have any weird traditions?

When you are coding do you do something special to help code better....listening to techno helps me a little:P

I watch random Let's Plays of Dwarf Fortress and other console-based games before I start. Idk why, but it helps, sort of like motivation to do better.

Just FYI, DF is not a console based game.

Sure looks like it is to me.

It is a console-based game (console on the computer) and not a console-based game (it has nothing to do with a video game console).

Although it doesn't actually use the console, it uses openGL to draw everything.
I think Toady justified the old terminal look with "It gives more freedom in terms of imagination", or something along those lines.

I don't have any weird traditions. There are days when I'm just a better programmer than other days. No real rhyme to it.

If I get particularly stuck on something, I'll just take a little break. Usually to this site to have a go at solving someone else's problem.

Oh, and I try not to get distracted by all of the nice games my friends are playing on Steam. :-)
