👋 hello bluesky, it's been a while. How are you doing?

I spent my weekend playing in the European Championships for a card game (7th Sea: City of Five Sails)! It was so much fun!

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

I've become a big fan of highlighting as I read.

Feeding the Monster: Why horror has a hold on us racked up a phenomenal 61 highlights!

I had the pleasure of seeing Hamlet last night… in Grand Theft Auto 5!

I saw this at our local independent cinema, it was a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

GAMERS! I need everyone to see this insanity? I’m at a Warhammer event at a Masonic Hall (vibes) and I needed a wee.

I wasn’t prepared for what I saw.

My #Sorcery merch has arrived!

I’m really excited to host lots of @sorcerytcg.bsky.social games in 2025 in my board game room!

PS: I’m completely overhauling my board game room soon! Please send me vibe suggestions (currently aiming for ‘medieval castle’)

What’s new for me in 2025? No goals, just themes:

- sharing (share more and often)

- consistency (in work, health, and hobbies)

- find my new comfort zone (push myself)
