Absolutely LOVED this question from Adam in my first ever Discord-exclusive Q&A. (my server is in my bio, btw! Join the fun 🎶) I’m not suggesting don’t have goals or plan out your next steps… …but I think it’s so important to find joy and happiness detached from outcome. 🙏🏻

...I wonder if I could get this delightful "audio transport" running in Ren'Py as a real-time audio effect? github.com/sportdeath/a... see: T. Henderson & J. Solomon's paper on optimal transport applied to portamento interpolation in audio! arxiv.org/abs/1906.06763

Or: it would be -funny- to call C++ from Python in Ren'Py with rando bindings to implement audio effects processing in C++. Not -sensible-, but -funny-. (my coding/composing personality is "asshole goose." Signed, wrote/arranged 250 measures of music box tunes in 5 days for an Advent gift.)

Today's shenanigans: finding out if I can get WWISE running in Ren'Py via the Python WAAPI-client. (Look, everyone needs a relaxing hobby in between novel-writing.) ("relaxing" lolsob)

Good first meeting with the PJO writers' room! It's the same team as season two, which is great because they did a fantastic job. Only issue: Becky and I joined via Zoom, and they were having donuts. Now I want donuts. (Yes, I am basically Blackjack.)

I have finished "Type Help", a database-style thinky narrative game which I can't think of anything to say about it that isn't spoilery. It sucked me in hard for two straight evenings. Excellent stuff. william-rous.itch.io/type-help

Godot: I am That Pedant, but I'm guessing that technically the health of the robot would increase if you used -= or health = health - amount if you passed a negative value for amount... (Tutorial has not yet covered typing variables although it mentions that it's possible. Great tutorial tho!)

...guess who is now screwing around with a Godot tutorial. (I have a migraine. Turtle graphics are about what my brain can handle and this tutorial is genuinely well-constructed; I think a grade schooler who'd never coded before could enjoy it, for example.) gdquest.github.io/learn-gdscri...

LibreOffice is a free, awesome alternative if you are on a Mac or PC (Windows/OS/Linux) and if you’re on iOS or Android then there’s a port called Collabora Office which is also great—I switched a month ago and haven’t looked back

Excited to meet with the PJO writers' room today to discuss potential plans for season three. This does NOT mean the third season is green-lighted yet, but we have been cleared to start a room and begin planning scripts, because assuming the show DOES go forward, we have to start now. Optimistic.🤞

I am EXCITE for my new piano practice regimen! (Please don't ask me to read/translate the Japanese text; I don't read Japanese! A friend helped me figure out how to order these from overseas.)

Husband was alarmed I woke up chortling: I dreamt I was watching a soap opera where the romantic lead dude actor grimaced ever so slightly, bracing himself, then declaimed, to the heroine, the immortal line: "Oh no, I am shirtless!" For some reason Husband refuses to make this his new ringtone. :)

Friends of the Library booksale haul for $4 USD! I am genuinely not sure which of these three items (OED Compact Edition, Cliff Eidelman's score for One True Thing, or David Drake's Complete Hammer's Slammers vol. 2) I'm most excited for. :D

Happy Caristia! During this Feb. 22 festival, Ancient Romans honored their ancestors. Families feasted, offered food and incense to household spirits, and set aside all disputes with family members. In theory, anyway! Ovid said the best plan was to exclude the most obnoxious relatives from dinner.
