The Mom of that subliterate kid is going to devalue my literate kids' grades.

Dispatch chapter 2: I've only had Royd for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself

refactored my code from 4,800 lines all the way down to 5,400 lines

Fly safe. If you meet a Vogels(z)ang they may be a distant relative of mine.

Blog update: I forgot that clean, semantic html and css are nice to work with. Fun to just doodle around. Working on making every HR tag style with a randomly selected hex tile drawn on top.

Always hated the propaganda that people won't do anything if given UBI. They might not increase shareholder value but people generally wanna do stuff!

I had an out of body experience because, reading this with a moderate flu-driven fever, I got confused as to what I was actually reading. This is so close in direction to my own metroidvania ttrpg post that I even have an infected crossroads slide in there.

I was in Disney Springs on Lorcana launch day, showed up with my kids 10 minutes after store opening only to find all the cards had already been bought by scalpers. The kids were disappointed enough that they never went back to check out the game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's great that that person read their first book, I am cheering them on as they move on to their second.

I was sitting here scrolling, wondering what I could do to spice up my horizontal dividers on my website. Lo and behold, something perfect. I'll be grabbing them!

I stopped caring about trying to stop piracy in 1993 when a coworker of my Dad's showed me how he uses a filter to xerox "nonrepro" blue originals.

This isn't a moral judgment for or against piracy, but I saw the futility of trying to stop it.

I'll finally just suit up and finish the css for my blog site and post it; the first one is about metroidvanias

Do you have any idea how much extra math and reading practice my kids get because I play board/card/ttrpg games with them?

Yes, TTRPG games is like ATM machine.

I did miss it; thank you for the heads up

That's a wrong thing for them to say and extremely unhelpful. Hope things trend upwards, Bird who is Slug.

Tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down

The most powerful feeling I've experienced playing a game this year was the serenity of walking up from the basement to the now open room 46. My 9 year old was on my lap and we were silent as we walked.

Hope you enjoy, it's quite a trip

Stunning. Composition, line work, expression all amazing. Thank you for sharing!

I love all my friends.

The most important question to be asking kids when playing ttrpgs with them is "What do you think [NPC] will do if your character does that?" They are often saying funny stuff without realizing they don't wanna roleplay the consequences.

We gotta stop the online gambling. You've no idea the hold it has on high school classrooms.

Avatar the Last Airbender update: Now I know why my kids jump on my back and say yip yip

Since AI psychosis seems to have leveled or dropped off post gpt5, I'm very curious to know how much OpenAI knew they were causing it

You're laughing? A grandma killer lost his dream job and you're laughing?
