I make coffee, play video games and piano, and dabble at other things: math, coding, writing

Just about done with politics

Current games: Destiny 2, Trackmania, Metaphor (Xbox); Minecraft (PC)

Looking for new pieces to play, and hopefully ones that won't take me eighteen freaking months to learn like the last ones.

First candidate here:
Chopin: Nocturne Op.37 No.1 in G Minor (Moravec)

Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions looks like it'll probably be not-great, but i'm holding up hope it'll be campy good fun.

Terraria has already forked - they are at wiki.gg instead of fandom. But googling Terraria Wiki still lists the old one first.

Trackmania would be the game where my level of skill falls farthest short of my level of enjoyment.

I still go through phases where I can't get enough of it.

I guarantee that if humans are around in 250,000,000 years, they'll cope with this.

Very difficult to structure a bet around my belief that "The Singularity" will never happen.

Picking up a new phone today! It's quite a lot better than my current one, because I have a job nowadays and can afford things sometimes, and more importantly, is *not* made by a company on this list:
International sponsor of war
Foreign companies, despite the recognition by the international community of Russia as an aggressor country and the imposed sanctions restrictions, continue to cooperate with it.

In an excellent move, the Minecraft wiki has ditched Fandom and is now at minecraft.wiki

This is a *superb* resource for new and expert players alike.

Fandom could well feel the loss here: this was their second-most popular gaming wiki last year. (Will Terraria follow?)

Some people say that the Bible has killed more humans than any other book, but I reckon the Penguin Guide to Fungi must run it a very close second.

I might try making some Spotify playlists. This will be a depressing demonstration of how out-of-touch I am with pop culture.

Our first try at weapon reviews is finally out!

In it, we go over the six seasonal weapons and cover pretty much everything from the perks to where they fit into the meta. I tried to give it my best shot and it turned into a roughly 50-minute read. Enjoy!

Cool appreciation video of a Sesame Street masterpiece.

Some music theory and/or jazz background would help if you want to get every detail, but just watch it on vibes anyway.

Currently playing Starfield and Destiny 2.

Starfield had been taking all my spare attention this week, but Destiny's fully bonkers glitch, allowing for staggeringly broken mashup guns, has made it too much fun in the last couple of days. Currently rocking an Ammit SG2, like everyone else.
