When doing a hobby, it's very important to keep a tiered list of people in that hobby who are annoying so you can compare yourself favorably to them and also tell your friends "Get a load of that guy" when trying to save face

The idea of games being art at their core is a broad cultural failure, as the idea of games being gambling at their core has been embraced instead.
Gambling is the only thing our culture produces anymore.

Being overburdened so you walk real slow, or your stamina to run drops hard, is not even remotely fun.

How’s your holiday David? Well. Since I got my pilot’s license I have developed a crazy bronchial cold, dabbled in making blender add ons, and the hardest thing I’m doing is caulking a heating pipe in my home office with intumescent caulk and fire block foam and not making a mess

definitely echo this. starter packs are great, but like when you buy a starter pack of trading cards, you're not going to keep them all in your deck. you're going to remove some, add some others, and that's totally natural. i don't see why bluesky packs would be any different.
I have gotten so many followers, my only request is that if you followed me from a starter pack and find me annoying, just unfollow quietly! I don’t need to know!

Those who are following/refollowing me via Starter Packs -- welcome! You might remember me from the games / VR+AR world. Sadly am less active on social media now (by design).
These days I mostly consult + advise + mentor folks. Always down to chat though. Ping me once in a while. :)

Fred Rodgers on the importance of making something even if other people don't think it's good had me crying this morning. Passing it along for anyone else that might need it.

Breaking my social media break to exclaim that there probably is an intersection between the folks who use Dot by @newcomputer and readers of @robinsloan’s new novel Moonbound.
No spoilers but, huh. You folks feel it too?

One thing about music AI that I can’t decide if I hate or love right now is how it defaults to earnest cringeyness.
While trying to break it with multiple languages it instead does a somersault and came up with this: suno.com/song/676741...

I think one of the most unpleasant ways to know you don’t have COVID is when you walk into a stuffy elevator and the prior person had on too nuch perfume and most definitely farted.

Getting to the point of marginal German fluency that I can ask for directions and order food without folks lapsing into English for me … and then I’m headed home. :p
