Hey, you!

Yeah, you. The one reading this.

You're pretty cool!

Anyway. Just wanted to say that. Later!

Sometimes "no stress" means "clearly we're both already stressed out, let's not add this to our shared list of stressors."

I just got these today from Steve Jackson Games. I can't wait to be really annoying in a #dnd session and announce "sweet, I got a nat XX!" #dice #ttrpg

My wife and I are now both testing negative for COVID-19. both are still coughing a bit but feeling much better.

Oops I overshot and went from "not caffeinated enough to stay awake" to "too caffeinated to sit still."

I've been completely re-writing my novel #Pacifica over on #Campfire. (this is the fourth full draft, as near as I can tell.)

I'm publishing it in more-or-less real time as I add chapters, feel free to have a look and let me know what you think!

Started a #HardSuit campaign with my family, I really like their way of handling character creation: just start the adventure. I also like that it's an📇 Index Card RPG (#ICRPG) module, so it's a lot like #D&D with enough differences for flavor. I may have mentioned this before, but I steal a lot of ICRPG concepts for my D&D campaigns.

We've been delaying a family vacation for two years due to COVID. We finally went on that vacation...

and I got COVID.

We drove 12 hours to bring our kids to see the Pacific Ocean. We are in a condo overlooking the sea, the condo costs as much for the week as we pay on our mortgage for a month. They are currently losing their minds over a slightly large banana from Walmart. 🍌

Stupid sitcoms are my guilty pleasure, they are the opiate I use to numb my brain when life gets to be too much.

I have 11GB of #TMBG songs on my #Plex server, and I just worked out a way to transfer them directly to a portable music player without storing them on my laptop's hard drive in the process. Now what to do with all the rest of this storage space...

Sansa fuse+ update: it worked for about 20 minutes, now seems to be bricked. Looking at the firmware recovery options. This is more or less exactly how I expected this project to go.

Currently planning on installing Rockbox on a Sansa Fuse+. Just because. I don't really need it, but it's an interesting idea.

The latest episode of #mst3k (demon squad) seems to be a rip off of #DresedenFiles, or possibly Dirk Gently, not sure which. Or both? It wasn’t good, anyway. The episode was fun though.

I put it to you that the kindest syllable in the English language is “Rest” spoken in the imperative. Telling another person that the only task you expect from them right now is their relaxation and recuperation, that they matter without being productive.

Trying to write banter for my characters. It is as hard as writing action sequences. They both require careful timing. Now I know why Hemingway wrote the way he did. #amwriting

One of my #dnd players just described my DM style as "60% Santa, 40% Krampus". I might need to adjust that ratio a bit...

Going to a bookstore is the opposite of camping. No I will not elaborate.
