  • We finished up the first playthrough of the campaign and I organized a second group with the intent to do another - it sounds like the new group is going to approach it very differently and I’m looking forward to seeing how it runs!

    For a second I thought you meant you were running 2 campaigns simultaneously! That would do anyone’s head in. That’s cool that your two groups are coming at the campaign from different angles. Have you found any “bugs” or unexpected behaviour, or has it been pretty smooth sailing?


    As an aside I played a casual game of Animal Adventures (D&D but you play animals), and I think I’ve become so steeped in the solarpunk ethos that it seemed strange to just dive right into a “traditional” hack and slash campaign. Like we just kill these henchmen? Why are they even henchmanning? Are they just pure evil?

    Things I wouldn’t have questioned playing D&D back in the day, but now seem so odd.


  • I’ve done a little bit more work on my short story (I highlighted the 2 new paragraphs in green - at the bottom), including these attempts to describe a market in my world. It’s all very unrefined and WIP, but I think that might be my actual aesthetic. 🤷

    What I’m currently most happy with is a very decent 2 week morning writing streak that’s been going on so far this February (left-most column is word count):

    a list of files from 2024-11-23 to 2025-02-14 totaling 4868 words

    After reading this blog post I decided to set a goal of writing at least 100 words every morning, with 0 intention of sharing. Separating the writing process into these two modes has been hugely helpful:

    1. writing (just like dredging up words and putting them on a page),
    2. editing (removing, refining, considering an audience)

    So for next month, my goal will be to continue this “streak” more or less - maybe doing some refining on the weekends. I hope to come up with at least a few good paragraphs that I can share.









  • Somehow I’ve drifted back to Ubuntu because of work. It’s useful being on the same os as everyone else when troubleshooting, but I hate how I have to “fix” it on every fresh install, it just put up with broken snaps and constantly crashing security updates.

    Honestly Arch was less work than this.



  • I haven’t read the article yet but I’m really not understanding what they’re even trying to dissuade here… Like what tort are they even punishing in their twisted little minds?

    EDIT okay right away the article adds some much needed context:

    The bill has been proposed by State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader, who wrote it to point out what they see as the absurdity of rules that control women’s bodies but do not control men’s.

    It’s like a protest bill.
