What's the most you would be comfortable winning as a prize?
At some point, I think the value would be so high that I'd be overwhelmed. I don't want a billion dollars. I've seen what that kind of money can do to someone.
Assuming you won the lottery, today, what is the maximum you'd want to win?

The problem with late-night kitbashing game systems and settings is that I don't want to stop, but I need to go to bed, and if I do I won't sleep because my mind's working too fast.

My job is to trust other people, prioritize my brain space, and bear the load of saying no.
I like the job, but it definitely isn’t what I expected. And it ain’t easy.
But neither is anyone else’s.

I’m really glad I made peanut butter cookies on Canada Day. If I hadn’t, what would I have held onto these last two days?!

What’s the earliest you remember a video game talking to you?
A few of my earliest:
“I’m the Chessmaster. Wanna play a game?”
“Hit the pass!”
“Eat my shorts.”
“Congratulations! You have earned a gold Map Skills Plaque.”

Hades 2 is sitting in my Steam library. Taunting me.
“Play me. I’m almost done!”
I know, Hades 2! I know! But I just want to play you when the experience is ready!
(Then why did I buy it in early access?!)

Phones these days are often unintentional time capsules.
“Hey, it’s someone’s birthday! You haven’t spoken with them in a decade. Gosh, how did that falling out happen? You should call!”
“You’re near an address you used to visit every week or so! When you were young. And had few responsibilities.”

Sitting on the balcony yesterday:
@zen-r0b0.bsky.social tells me that @hanatruly.bsky.social is coming back to Montreal.
Reader, she booked the tickets before I could say, "Then we're going."
Last we saw her live it poured rain so hard we almost drowned. Still the best experience all year by far.

Deactivated Facebook and Messenger. My fault, really, since I never looked up if it was possible to deactivate them without deleting them.
(Wary of deletion—I may have some logins tied to Facebook that I don't want to immediately lose.)
Apps off my phone, bookmarks removed. Sigh of relief?

It must feel quite strange to see leaks of a project you never thought would be seen by the public. Like getting yanked back seven years and having to think of, all over again, what could've been.
Uh, or so I'm told.
