It’s a common misconception that ADHD is just an inability to focus. Really, it’s a struggle to control focus. I can hyperfixate for hours on complex but pointless tasks and freeze on simple tasks. Some days, my brain’s a Lamborghini with no brakes. Other days, a rusty bike with a stuck chain.

Here's what I captured of the Lunar Eclipse. Lessons learned with the new telescope. ie. Don't use autoexposure lol. Still not too bad after some cleanup and clouds that rolled by during totality. (Don't worry about my RL name, it's already out there ;) ) youtube.com/shorts/gEb2B...

We have to face facts: WW2 combat flight sims disappeared from the mainstream and fascism began making a return. Indeed they were replaced by their Wario / Scratch: the live service combat arcade game, where military hardware was stripped of context and rendered morally neutral and brand safe.

Nearly 40 hours in to STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, it's clear that all they needed was a little more time.

I've dreamed my entire career of writing an article like this. New in today's @nytimes.com: My profile of Tetris creator (and Seattle-area resident) Alexey Pajitnov, on the games, attempts, and failures he's worked on in the 40-year shadow of his most famous game. (Upshot: He's still designing.)

I do find myself wondering whether the positivity in bsky can withstand full-scale migration from Twitter. At a certain point the old social hierarchy is simply transposed onto the new space.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you don’t need to justify your post. It isn’t taking up space. The space is infinite. Your post belongs.

The best thing I've done for my mental health in years has been to start spending two hours a day working from my local library. Those places have healing energy.

A cool and also bad fact of my career is that book publishers have never seen value in my writing and have passed on all my books. Everything I’ve ever accomplished has been because of community support. 30,000 sales later Empires of EVE proved the publishers wrong.

When I find a video game that is more interesting to write about than EVE Online then I will write about that one. Until then I’m working to turn this space opera into a trilogy.
