In Defense of Boredom
Dear new users:
It's alright to take your time and get up to speed on here. You don't have to hit the ground running. You might have picked up the habit of interacting with social media as it it were naturally a competitive performance--we all did--but the best thing about Mastodon and the fediverse beyond it is that it's not like that. Take some time to decompress.
It took me about six months to fully drop the armor that I'd been wearing from being on other sites. That was three years ago. This place changes lives.
Also, it's okay to be picky. Sign up at a new instance, if the first one you pick isn't the best fit possible. You'll find your home, and folks here understand it takes trial and error.
Above all, take a deep breath. What feels weird now will make sense pretty quickly.
Glad to have you.
As much as I love 1Password, I really wish they had chosen a different name. Telling people "I use 1Password for all my logins" has NEVER led to people having confidence in my SecOps abilities. https://1password.com
If you're going to be working on a Windows computer for a while (like I am) PowerToys is a pretty decent little set of utilities. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/

Like everyone else, it seems like, I've fallen in love with #TUNIC. The game is amazing, and the soundtrack is, well, written by Lifeformed, so that's Obviously great as well.
What I love about the game is that I get lost easily and a lot, but I don't tend to stay lost in that game for very long at a time.
Bandcamp Friday!
Dungeon Alchemist finally came out on Steam! I backed this on Kickstarter back in the day and from what I've seen so far it was worth the wait. Can't wait to play with this more, and create some maps for my players! #TTRPG

As a human, I think "The Great Resignation" is a good and healthy sign for our economy and culture. People are no longer willing to do things just because they're safe. People are branching out and taking risks. This can only be good for us; we're seeing new and better ideas! We are re-evaluating the employer-employee relationship, moving some of the power in that equation back to the employees.
As a manager I hate it. 🤷
