Book update: Chapter 2 almost done (don't worry, we don't write them in order, this is just the largest one)

Barry Blitt’s cover for this week’s issue, “The First Hundred Days.” #NewYorkerCovers nyer.cm/ysrCZ47

It's that time of the year when you're not sure if a scene in Anfor alludes to Nazis or Trump's America.

My bet is on Lotus Notes

Ok if we live in "Conclave" where's the turtle

The way the characters in Mielgo’s Marathon short speak reminds me strongly of @sunsetvisitor.studio 1000xRESIST. @eliastoufexis.bsky.social, I wonder, were you inspired by The Sisters?

Seriously?

Couldn’t resist a leather jacket by a Peruvian (sic!) brand in a local second hand shop.

Cheese is a kind of meat A tasty yellow beef.

When I’m asked what 2020s were about.

My birthday is in November, just sayin'

Ceci n'est pas une panetière.

This is what I hope my performance review results will look like

Book update:

Oh my, it's my 2 year anniversary at Wargaming! From fashion magazines to advertising agencies to startups to my own film studio and here we are 🍾

Book update: I feel like I'm writing a fucking thesis.

Nope. It’s “give me the pumpkin spice latte” vs “give me the pumpkin spice latte, no whipped cream, oat milk”.

Switched to Notion from Dropbox Paper for the 2nd draft. Been rewriting a chapter for ages, wordcount: 5000 words. Me: WTF Turns out, Notion doesn't count words in closed toggle sections 😅

Went for a walk with my Hasselblad for the first time in years. Here’s a Belgrade celebrity, Mr. Joca [yotsa] whom you can find near Trg Respublike.

It says a lot about the current software state that FoxIt PDF reader has an "AI assistant", but no text highlight feature.

This is a cathartic experience, please don’t miss it if you have the gear!

In today's newsletter @hotelamnesia.bsky.social writes about the different words for "without" in Japanese; curiously, there's a similar case for "with" in Serbian": "uz" means something that is added later (sugar), and "sa" is for something included (mustard, in Jörg's example).

So proud to witness this.

Dybowski is out, which is good. Still not a single word from him or the studio about why that happened.

Dialogue section 😓 Ok, it's just a draft, so it will be shorter, but it's not even a chapter, it's a section!

A colleague just shared a playtester's comment on our game: ''Literally the only not dogshit tank game on the market and it's not even on the market'' This should go on the box.

Me, after spending 15 minutes searching for the Dropbox Paper replacement since it has slipped into definite decline:

Book update: to be honest, the games chapter is intimidating. It's always tempting to slide into the familiar textbook format, but that's not the case for us. So it's approaching from all sides and taking small bite after bite until I'm happy (but still intimidated).

It escalated quickly
