Went ahead and "fixed" the Daggerheart character sheet.
![Portion of a character sheet for a tabletop roleplaying game. Some text is in a blue manuscript font to imply it was filled by the player.
The top row reads: 0 < [MINOR DAMAGE] < [1 MAJOR DAMAGE] < [2 SEVERE DAMAGE]. The numbers 1 and 2 were filled by hand. Underneath the minor, major and severe boxes, tiny text reads: Mark 1 HP, Mark 2 HP, Mark 3 HP.
Below are four rows of gauges. On the left is a column of tiny boxes labelled "Max" which have been filled by hand, followed by a column of names for each gauge. Together, they read: 0 ARMOR, 5 HP, 6 STRESS, 6 HOPE. The gauges themselves are each made of 12 boxes laid horizontally, except for the HOPE gauge which has only 6. The first two boxes of the HOPE gauge were struck by hand. The intent is unclear; the player has either earned two HOPE or spent two HOPE.
Finally, below is the word GOLD followed by four lines to write individual digits, each with a tiny word underneath: CHEST, BAGS, HANDFULS, COINS. The number 250 was filled in leaving the first line empty, meaning the player has 250 gold coins, or 0 chest, 2 bags, 5 handfuls and 0 additional coins.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:snouzxwtbeqmaka3zvrxpka6/bafkreihcp5y6w4woc5wzan6zdxqqkgssg4jo2hzkorzrgblkgurklavgaq@jpeg)

So it was all vapour when @steampowered.com said they would allow anything legal on their platform and not allow third parties to police what independent developers can publish.

I just realized there is a character I like that would be a low effort cosplay. Okabe from Steins;Gate. I'm doing it.

- Pink repair stitch on the shoulder

- Red in a coat pocket
And for snacks
- Banana
- Cup of instant ramen, with a fork

Just looked at the latest Stack Overflow survey, and wow it's a hot mess. The questions about AI are written as if the replacement of all programming jobs with AI in the near future was a given, and they even have nonsensical broad questions like "how many programs do you use".

Wow. I had never thought of it before, but you can make a gauge of any shape in SVG using stroke-dasharray. Just set pathLength to the number of increments you need and then set the dasharray to have a line of X increments followed by a gap of whatever remains.

I don't think I ever opened Epic Games Launcher without it asking for my password and two-factor verification despite me checking "remember this device" every time, and having to reboot multiple times to install updates 🤦

I've been wanting to recreate the Kingdom Hearts HUD in SVG for a while and I finally got around to it.
I'd like to make a web interface where you can properly run a gauge simulation, to demonstrate how the Charge and MP gauges behave.

I had to pause the VOD to share how I figured out the runes myself, see the attached diagram. Big spoilers for Tunic, duh.

![Stephen Georg smiling at runes from the game Tunic. The image was edited with notes and diagrams showing similarities between the shape of certain letters from the latin alphabet and certain runes, providing a solution for one of the game's last secret puzzles. The rune for the [t] sound is shaped somewhat like a T, and the rune for the [d] sound (which is similar to a [t] but voiced) is the same rune upside down. Also, the rune for the [h] sound is shaped like a lowercase h, and the rune for the [ð] sound (voiced th) is like the runes for [d] and [h] combined. The runes for the [s] and [f] sounds are shaped like $ and lowercase f respectively, if we're being very generous. A stranscription of a line of runes has been drawn over them to exemplify the similarities, and reads: "ðe softest feaðer".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:snouzxwtbeqmaka3zvrxpka6/bafkreifhlytkbjb5ukuttc6qiy2enydzvcuasrn3p3jw5xochset4id5lq@jpeg)

Welp, this was the final straw. I'm not paying for Discord Nitro if they're pushing generative AI trash on art servers with a zero tolerance policy on generative AI trash.

The horrible taste of ranch Takis only better highlights how much of the greatness of Takis comes from their texture.
(I really don't understand why they even try, to me corn chips just never will go well with ranch. I'm also still mad I can't find the sweet chili Takis where I live.)

Programming utilities for Satisfactory is surprisingly confusing when you have machines called Assembler, Constructor, Generator...
I wonder if that ever caused the devs of the game some headaches 😅

Decided to boot Resolve on a whim.
Yikes. I really did put a ton of effort into editing this. Feels so wrong throwing all of that work away, but alas, by the time I was done editing it, I no longer agreed with my own script.
Happened too many times, really.

I feel so legitimized when I see ads about Grammarly's generative AI.
Years ago I had friends argue that relying on a browser extension that can scan everything you type was no different than relying on Google maps. You're trading privacy for convenience.
But it's worse. You're trading your art.

My favorite part of the Internet is how it makes it easy to tell people that they make you happy, or that you like what they did, hopefully validating the effort they put into something.
I can read a book, post that I liked it, and the author can see it and go "yuss, someone liked it". That's neat.
