Seeing NaNoWriMo is officially dead makes me sad, even if it had to happen.
I got back into writing because of that site and its community. I'm still not published but I've written a lot of novels and partial novels because of NaNo (not all done during Nov). But the current org failed it miserably.

A discovery of an old text about Merlin from the 1300s, need to find the brain power to fully read it but the fact the paper was reused for something else at one point is insane.

Something magical about anticipation. Honestly I don't get excited for releases a ton anymore, but the rerelease of Xenoblade X DE tomorrow has me really pumped. Xenoblade holds a special place in my heart and I've wanted to replay for a while without getting out my WiiU.

Sad day. Just saw the creators of Celeste cancelled their next game Earthblade. The fact they felt pressure to make something bigger and better makes it clear how it could impact their creativity. I hope they can get back to what brought them joy because clearly it worked with Celeste.

I'll never understand why games feel the need to add a random stealth section somewhere in the game. If I wanted stealth I would buy a stealth game, not whatever game I did buy that only has the one (that I didn't know about).

Man. 1000xResist.
What a game. What an emotional ride. What heartbreak. What need.
The way it plays with visual perspective and camera angles and language, the way it uses <spoilers> to explore topics of self. At some point I should play it again, but for now I need to digest it.

Man, 1000xResist starts off incredibly strong. So curious where it is going but I also don't want to binge it and risk rushing through.

Been working on a zero draft of a novel idea in Google Docs and I forgot how much I hate its grammar checker, double so when writing Fantasy. Anytime I mention Gods it assumes I mean the Christian one and makes related grammatical corrections.

Trying to get back to Youtube content (about godot, naturally), and decided to try a different style for my thumbnails using smudged version of the code behind the godot robot head. Curious how it'll do compared to my previous awful attempts at thumbnails.

A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed.
Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?)

I'd forgotten how good it feels to sit down and write a story.
I've struggled, having ideas, starting to outline, then it falling apart in my hands. So when I found a new idea I changed direction. I got the basic characters and theme figured out and started to write a Zero Draft, discardable.

So neat to see our understanding of the evolution/origin of written language change. Credit to hacker news as that's where I saw the link.

Well my mind broke. Local beloved indie bookstore Tattered Cover got bought by Barnes and Noble back in July and I missed it.
So many fond memories of going to their locations for book signings or just to peruse the shelves and bring something new home to read.

I keep refreshing the dotnet page hoping 9 non-RC will be available. Very interested in testing it out with all the perf improvements and some of the updates they made.

Downside to messing with C++ is all the tools you end up messing with. Cmake is so confusing lol, though finally got Raylib linked into a windows project and running with a visible window.
