Looking forward to the official 1.0 release for Timberborn, but so far looks like some of the new buildings/mechanics have some teething issues on the experimental build. And yes, that's a beaver pun.

Weird how it can feel colder inside when the wind outside is loud and gusty. A metaphor for something, I'm sure.

Wolverine Does More to Simplify Server Side Code Just to set myself up with some pressure to perform, let me hype up a live stream on Wolverine I’m doing later this week! I’m doing a live stream on Thursday afternoon (U.S. friendly th…

Finally cancelled Prime last week, and then today they effectively cancelled New World. Can't get further away from this company, toxic from the top down.

I guess the good and bad of a long-awaited New World update + announcement that it's now "free" for people who already paid for the original game (no longer need to buy the expansion) is that a lot of folks want to play so it doesn't look like I'll be able to sign in the game tonight.

Ziplines and tubeways in Timberborn are just so satisfying once they're setup. Ziplines a bit more fun in having flexible and changeable layouts, tubeways with the advantage of building through them. Really curious what next release will bring. 400+ hours and still pre-release, ha.

Was thinking of switching to an iphone, but just tried to sign in to my account and it's locked for no apparent reason and need to jump through hoops. Reminds me of why I didn't early on; security theatre for doing anything.

Same. Only thing I've been watching past few weeks is the reboot of Quantum Leap. Kinda opposite of Steven King.

Ah, the good and bad news of them replacing the corner sidewalk 20 feet from my house. It'll be nice when it's done, but today they're ripping up the old concrete and... it's loud.

Ah, internet comments. One person lambasted me and misread what I wrote (to put it nicely). Another person gave a thoughtful comment that clarified what I was saying and was actually useful. I mean, 50/50 is actually pretty good so I'm not complaining. Too much.

Bad enough work machine has been flaky; go to Photoshop on my rig to process some family photos and it keeps locking up. At some point I'll be productive this week. Garden seems to be doing okay, at least.

Made the mistake of reading the comments on an article about the Mets recent/ongoing slide. The line about Mos Eisley in Star Wars came to mind.

Sometimes you get the opposite of a "this meeting could have been an email" and instead you get "this email is going to turn into many meetings" and I kinda hate the person who egged everyone on.

Once had a connection through there; this will shock you, we were delayed for 9 hours due to high winds.

The new AI-voice spammers are somehow even more annoying (didn't think it possible) than humans reading from a script. I think it's the lag. Not that I want them improved, I want zero spam.

Nice to be able to have the a/c off and windows open (without worrying about smoke/ozone). At least for one day!

I like dumb-funny movies, so I actually enjoyed it. Feels too much like a documentary to rewatch now.

Getting vague "not working" reports for over a week on a given page was driving me nuts. Finally got some same codes where it wasn't working (yay!) but also where they still were (YAY!). 2 lines fixed in fewer minutes, having something to compare/contrast was huge.

That makes my brain hurt.

YouTube video by SEM Sports The legend of Bo Jackson's 40 time part 2

Could have sworn I had a saved clip of him talking about track, but can't find it. Still, a fun rabbit hole to go down. Here's one where he recaps his 40 time in college www.youtube.com/shorts/WTo5r...

Really need to clear out my old bins filled with antiquated cables, gadgets, etc. Some might be keepers. Just found my old car tape adapter that let me plug in my mobile CD player. Not used since at least 2001. What else will I find???

Someone on the internet either agreed with me or was really snarky. With no /s marking their intention, I'm going to assume they agree with me wholeheartedly.

Guessing NY system is a bit different; 300k+ students total over 60+ campuses. My school was around 5k students, which is more or less par for the course (a couple of them are larger "research centers" w/ grad programs, d1 sports, etc).

Oof, an old friend's machine is stuck in a BitLocker loop and will probably have to do a clean Windows install. Assuming they don't switch the Linux in anger.

The news might be a shit show, but just picked (and ate) first peas from the garden so that was nice.

Focused on today's weather for a (potential) group run, just realized that early next week is set to be hot (99-100 for Mon-Tue). So much for a "cooler June".

Dear Every Company:

STOP CHARGING PEOPLE FOR AI BULLSHIT THEY DIDN’T ASK FOR, DO NOT WANT, AND SOMEHOW CANNOT OPT OUT OF.

Your bad choices are not our problem.

Just stop it.

Backtrack. I promise we won’t make too much fun of you.

FFS. Stop it.

Fresh local strawberries are so insanely good. The ones year round in my grocery store pale in comparison.

Feels worse doing a 4 mile run in the heat (and poor air quality as an added bonus) than double that in nicer weather. Easy paced and pretty flat helped, but... oof.

Laptop crashed (twice). Even though autorecovery in VS set to one minute (stupid laptop) lost all recent (in past hour) changes to one file and another straight up corrupted (the latter not blaming VS). No, it's not on OneDrive; all code is on a separate dev drive partition. /sigh
