In this genre-bending memoir, @lclaberge.bsky.social reflects on her stint at one of the most prestigious management consulting firms in the country and what it teaches us about the absurdity of work—for readers of Bullshit Jobs and fans of Severance

WFH made it so much easier for me to keep consistent with a workout because I was no longer wasting an hour of my day commuting. I just shut down the work computer, go to my room, roll out the yoga mat, grab the kettlebell and do my routine.

Yeah, I've been following: www.blogilates.com/30-days-30-s...
It's helped. The important thing is I don't feel like I'm going to pull every muscle in my thighs when I drop into butterfly position in hockey now.

We've got this cool skeleton party member whose head was stolen, so they have this collection of skulls they use, swapping between different heads to better fit in while we try to find their original head.

I legit think a lot about making sure to give room to embrace the idea of play while also having enough gravity to pull the player back down into a serious story when it's time.

Anyway, my beleaguered, super depressing music collection blessed me with "Raising Hell" by Zeromancer on the way to practice.
Then "Roll Up Your Sleeves" by We Were Promised Jetpacks on the way back for a cooldown.
The cooldown songs always sound better than they ever have before.

I definitely need to find a way to make cutscenes easier on myself if I do more in the future. Some of what dragged this out was experimenting with how to anchor text boxes to characters.
I also diverted a little trying to put a 3D background in my 2D scene. I got it working but...didn't like it.

your player's stats by having conversations and practice sessions with them.
So you build their stats by helping them work on things in their life that would relate to those stats. I think there's an interesting space for storytelling around people's relationships to each other and a shared sport.
