Part 1 of the at least 3 part Anthem Memories and Lessons that I am STILL working on

I bought a bag of scotch bonnets because my white boy brain thought “surely no one would sell an entire bag of chilies these must be cool stuffing peppers”
So…
First we fermented them which bay have reduced the spice.
Now I’m making hot sauce

Honestly no idea... Names are hard

Random Edmonton PSA: if you lost your phone this morning by the Highlands shops and can tell me what sticker is on the back, I’ll let you know where to pick it up.

Ah yes I see I need more Mason jars, thank you

I do often have this urge.
And we own at least 50 mason jars of various sizes.
Why?
Why are we like this?

Fuck I hate “debate me!” Bros

Since I just had a root canal, I've been thinking about the pain scale and how I hate it and see it more like... a dare. Like, are you asking me how much more pain I can take? I can take it all. I can absorb it. Is this a test? I will get an A. This is all very neurotypical and normal.

Honestly is is just a coincidence.
Communication plans take weeks to sort out

Huh, did I remind EA Anthem existed?

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Your quarterly reminder to read this essay from 1941, called "Who Goes Nazi?"

You might recognize some people from your life within the piece.

Last years “survive until 25” is looking pretty stupid ATM

Reading Parable of the Talents by Olivia Butler in 2025 is a LOT

Me DMing…

Indeed… and my second scripting language

That code is there forever.
That is load bearing duct tape

the John Wick universe is what you get if someone explained everything about Vampire: the Masquerade except that the characters are vampires

Ours we’re leaving bird heads in it.
It was a thing…

Yes

So... have car manufacturers just stopped making smaller cars?
I drive a fit but Honda, Toyota, Ford, no one has anything in the same form factor anymore.

My diamond resale business won't even get off the ground if I have to buy the diamonds first. Geez.

The woke mob is destroying my catalytic converter collection hobby

My car jacking business will die if I’m forced to ask people to GIVE me their cars

For me it felt better once I embraced the multiple runs.
So I tried to get something from each run but didn’t necessarily try to reach 46.
That said, I rolled credits with only a small fraction seen and haven’t turned it on since

My >2hour Davinci resolve project is failing to render.
But all I'm getting is a failed status notice. No pop up or other indication as to what is failing...
Short projects seem to be fine.

I do have some thoughts on how you could do the third act flashback as gameplay…
