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.

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.

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"

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 😅

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.

The brain-spiders have won and I am once again pausing a #TTRPG project to start another TTRPG project.
