Yes, I know the css sucks, I'll fix it when I deploy it.
But is your portfolio site full-stack?

Character idea: A speedster who only communicates in writing because they don't want to spend five subjective hours saying,
"Hhhhhoooooooooow...
wwwwwwwaaaaaaas...
yyyyyyyooooooooouu...
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...

The last time I didn't watch the Super Bowl, the Tom Brady Bucs beat the hell out of the Chiefs.

This time I didn't watch the Super Bowl, the Eagles beat the hell out of the Chiefs.

Clearly I need to stop watching the Super Bowl, I'm the problem.

Day 20: First try at a more alien landscape

Any time I see a really stupid impactful penalty in the NFL I turn the game off until at least the next drive. If I miss an ad break I can pretend my anger mattered.

Mood for today: Furiously trying and failing not to be cautiously optimistic about the Texans/Chiefs game

Just filled out a job application that had a 200 character limit on the "Why do you want this role?" question. There wasn't a visible tracker for the number of characters.

The irony is it's the perfect role to be able to use that as "QoL feature I you need and I can add"

Day 1 for New Years resolutions: How to draw a straight line. Thanks #Drawabox

Just read The Planet Construction Kit (Zompist/Mark Rosenfelder) and I'm thinking about biographic worldbuilding and "culture tests".

I think it would be good to write a "culture hero" bio. Not your protag's bio, but the bio of someone their culture would see as a quintessential ideal... 1/

My New Year's resolutions are usually something to do with learning new skills or building new habits, and this year it's art.

Well, I have to start somewhere. Day 0, first time drawing on a wacom tablet. I hope Bob Ross is at least proud of me for trying 😅

Related to the previous post, some self-awareness:

Exercise I'm just now finding to be very useful when making a new system: Writing a disclaimer for what your system *isn't* useful for, and why.

What *wouldn't* your try to do with your game, and why?

Funny how many of these "undifferentiated tasks" I would call "coding".

Also they're discounting the biggest time-sink: Waiting for the business side to properly explain the request.

Step 1 of the new #TTRPG project: Branch the old SRD and trim it down to a rules-light version.
Relatively speaking...
Where did I even *have* 300 different rules to modify?
December 5, 2024 at 2:23 AM
The brain-spiders have won and I am once again pausing a #TTRPG project to start another TTRPG project.

At least this time it's rules-light 🙃

Next level: A trauma-free character who feels weird for not being traumatized and compulsively makes up sad backstories so they're not left out.

Never use Photoshop for meme purposes. Down that path the siren call of Perfection shall tempt you away from the righteousness of Good Enough.

Embrace the jank and just use Paint.
