Always the people who found it easiest to say they want me to “be happy” have been the ones who have done the most to ensure the opposite result.

My greatest fear is ever being caught being that kind of inept deadweight burden on other people.

My aspiration is to be the kind of effective and helpful person who people can sincerely say they benefit from having around.

That is why I think and learn and pay attention and strive to improve.

Tried to get a thing done early today and for that good deed had my time wasted for 4 hours through inexplicable technical trouble and the incompetence of every individual employed with fixing it 😳

What has always marked me exceptional is that I do not need to Personally Want To Do Well at something or have any Self-Serving Goal or Motivation in order to care enough to put in the bare minimum effort to do what I see as Necessary.

Rule that always seems to apply to almost everything I do in life is that the more Effort I put in for the sake of Doing Well at something, the worse I do at it

vs when I tackle things using my baseline intuition and ability and minimal intentional effort...I do exceptionally well.

The solution was to start recognizing and rejecting shiny distractions for what they are:

worthless, poisonous, weakening, demoralizing, never delivering any real satisfaction, providing the fleeting illusion and conviction of joy but never improving my life in any real way.

Was at fancy KR restaurant that provides unlimited refills on side dishes & special rice in a big bowl to scoop into a smaller serving bowl

by end of meal (many refills later) I had the big bowl on my lap digging up every last grain of rice…made service staff laugh asking if I’d like more rice 😅

Making major overhauls on the Siren’s story…

Kind of a headache because I want to keep most of the established plot framework intact, but need to restructure the World and systems within the story, and entirely change the backgrounds of a couple of major characters—particularly the protagonist.

Realized the degree to which food has taken over as my dominant interest in life can be explained by I'm doing what She's doing.

Was sleep deprived and mildly suffering today but getting some (unsweetened) hot chocolate with coconut milk cardamom and pumpkin spice + a chocolate covered chocolate madeleine in me made everything good again ☕️🍫

I went and tried a zaru soba in a KR soba restaurant for the first time in many years, and it was a little sweet but not Excessively sweet 😭

They also said if I come at less busy times they can specially make unsweetened tsuyu for me 🥺💓

In recent weeks, video game publishers Take-Two and EA both warned investors about potential "reputational" risks to the use of gen-AI in games. It's a problem that all game companies will soon need to confront: Players hate genAI.

When I find a single place in Korea that does zaru soba but doesn’t make the tsuyu disgustingly sweet (it’s not supposed to be sweet at all) I will finally know peace

I have easily hundreds of characters and they all belong to complete narratives (at least 12 different complete-plot narratives that I can recall without effort) within different expansive, fleshed-out worlds, each with their own world logic.
