I love this question. Peak survey content.
The question says "but isn't troika only good for one shots?" But the only answer is "no".

Counterpoint
I didn't quit academia, I simply recognised that desire (for a job) inevitably causes suffering (admin, grant writing) and perpetuates the endless cycle of death and rebirth (moving cities for postdocs). I transcended academia.

Setting up to play No Thank You Evil with The Boy. Meet Gerald the Astronaut and Kickpunch McFighterson the Fighter.
An astronaut with anti-meteor spikes on his helmet, and a fighter doing a high kick. The astronaut is saying "stop evil".

Time to play Amazing Tales with my son. (It's mostly drawing maps)
A map. Parts are drawn by a five year old, parts are drawn by an adult with the drawing skills of a five year old. There are dice visible.

Thinking about weird mythical creatures again. Haha look at this goofy mofo.
It's a bonkers skeleton. So basically, it's a big long tail, some legs and a head that all just like connect together at the hips. It also has a massive horn on the skull.

Heck yeah.

It's very barebones, but I built Zola from source and got it running already.
Very plain website. URL points to 127.0.0.1:1111 and the content just says "List of blog posts" and there's a link to "my first blog post".
