Geez, a compound fracture! Glad you're okay and it's not a gore fest.

Mine's a 2011 (I think...) American Special!

It takes basically an hour? Every time. And I'm always surprised that it's always consistently an hour.

Each time: create the release, package each of the release/sprites/sounds, upload everything, update website, upload to open game art/itch/rogue basin, announce on TotRL, do my official pull requests on GitHub, announce on the RL Discord, announce on Masto/Bluesky, I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

What idiot says, "I won the McArthur" rather than "I'm very well endowed"

my grandfather, a psychologist PhD who also did FORTRAN programming, showed me his slide rule once, showed me how it worked, or tried to, I think I was like six at the time and it was ambitious of him to try

Literally no way a guy with a hook hand could haunt every stretch of highway in the country for 80 years. Right?

I loathe LinkedIn, but it's still better than Facebook (not responsible for genocide [that I'm aware of]).

I think maybe that was true 15 years ago (I literally joined LinkedIn, and within a week was talking to a local recruiter about a job I'd work at for almost the next decade), but now? Wow is that site hot garbage. My last switch (and, hopefully, my last switch) a shoulder tap from someone I trust.

"The Democrats" isn't a static category. Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander woke up this morning as the leaders of the Democratic Party in New York City, and they got there by trouncing Andrew Cuomo, Michael Bloomberg, and Bill Clinton.

Yeah. It's funny how for some people, high school is a source of nostalgia or whatever; for me, I knew I needed to leave.

It's hard to explain, but it feels even further back/removed than earlier points in my life.

I knew something wasn't right, I knew we weren't well, but I didn't know yet what I'd need to do to right things. That came after the term, when my advisor wasn't willing to give me any time in the summer to see C, and I was like, well if it's her or the degree, I'm choosing her.

It was a weird one. I finished the exams for my courses, and flew out. I had a week to myself until C's school was done for the term. I took our beagle for 3 walks a day, made strong tea by boiling water in a pot because I had the kettle, and started writing again. One of the poems is in my 1st chap

At some point, I need to re-read Hamlet. I've been slowly working my way through his plays for the last decade or so (1 or 2 a year), and I've re-read some of the ones I read in high school (Midsummer, R&J), but not that one.

Back in 2005, C and I were living apart - I was working on my PhD in Ottawa, and she was in Winnipeg, because that's where she was able to find a job. I came back for Christmas. We decided to watch a movie. First one we'd seen together in ages. First actual date in months. (We also watched Syriana)
