if I'm not talking about 3d printing, bikes, dota, or economics, then I'm probably not sober

My favorite part about this UPS backup for my electronics is that the battery test just says "unplug it from the wall, if it turns off, it failed." Hell yeah brother

Yeah that endgame looks like gastown to me. Specifically for coding it has psychologically felt something akin to doomscrolling for me personally? Like that temptation that maybe the next one will strike gold. I struggle to resist that urge on social media so I don't have much wisdom to offer sadly

A weird realization reading this is that tokens might be the most capitalistic thing I've witnessed in my lifetime. Even people spending all day at slot machines need to sleep, the idea that you can literally spend money 24/7 and keep scaling speaks to a need for regulating forces in this space

I always had this dumb idea for a simple tower defense kinda thing, but set up so when the DamageDealt int overflows the exception handler for it is what triggers the new game +

so if I'm thinking of old MVVM stuff do you think the ViewModel is a mechanism to help bridge that gap? or is it a misleading facade and we need to disregard it and go back to the source of truth model of the data?

when you put it like that it almost feels like it's a fight or flight response to being humiliated right? what I'd pay to watch a therapist play games of dota

The low hanging fruit guess is if there's a relationship between a chatwheel line they spam more and when they're losing, but the harder hypothesis is if a team is up in networth then swing down from a team fight, maybe the first person who dealt damage is throwing?

someone asked the question yesterday if my stats could predict how tilted a player is and I've embarked upon the dark arts of dota stats

re: discord drama

if double-secret bike dork forum has taught me anything, it's that the best (and really only) way to keep a specific group of people together on the internet long-term is "make your own web site".

A dota org reached out to me for my analytics, I can't share many details yet but hoping something comes out of it. Don't let your dreams become memes friends

this is partly me living in a fantasy world, but I wish there was some regulation that companies like Adobe would have to make animate open source if they're going to abandon it. It's so whack up to me that we can regress in technological capability

a picture of a bombtrack audax attached to a trunk bike rack on a car. it has new black gravelking tires which, personally, I think look pretty nifty.

got some new gravelking tires for the bombtrack, I've had gumwall tires for so long I forgot how different it looks without them
