I just realised it's "love this smug" and not "love this mug". I figured it was like, named after some viral post were someone gushed about a coffee mug they owned.

There's something so satisfying about using Blender to create Jello effects.

I think Houston might actually have outdone NYC in terms of creativity in its puppy Halloween costume contest.

Sometimes it weirds me out which shows on TV Tropes have empty recap lists. What do you mean "Everybody Loves Raymond" doesn't have a single Recap made? I didn't watch that show, but it was still famous for years! Wasn't it?

I keep getting AI Generated ads for a mental wellbeing app. The ad talks about procrastination and its connection to Childhood trauma, and I feel like it legitimately is relevant to what I've been through. But I just refuse to download it, because of how AI-Generated their ad is!

At some point, I apparently added a song called Foufoune Palace by Emma Blackery to my Spotify playlist. I think this must be a Spotify glitch, because I can't actually find any proof that this song ever existed. I don't remember anything about this song.

I keep seeing people getting mad that video games are gonna coast $80 dollars now. Guys. They were already over priced. Every flash game ever is available for free, combined with all the free (and/or) indie games on itch.io and Steam. And I've gotten YEARS of replay value from just a few free games

The Collapse

One of those ugly Crane Flies just flew into a spider web in the corner of my room. Finally, proof that not cleaning my room has some upsides.

This is me but with coding languages

Me: you probably should start learning something by making something simple Me: stubbornly insisted on learning to knit lace socks on double points, learned quilting by making a bedspread, French seams from making a wedding dress This is really common for neurodivergent people.

Downloaded Processing.org again. Made this little tool for making shapes with hexagonal symmetry. It's such a simple thing, but all the apps I've used only have square, reflectional, and rotational symmetry.

Part of me wants to learn Assembly just to make a simple but efficient Desktop app. The other part of me wants to get back into #Processing.org just to make a simple Desktop app. Another part of me just wants to finish BG3

My last #BG3 fight went very strangely. Volo got blown up because for once, some mook shot the smoke powder. Pressed Alt-F4 in an attempt to fix it. It worked! I got a bit of reload and managed to save him by having Laezel teleport over and steal the barrels. Then a Steel Watcher attacked...

I really want to do a BG3 honor run where I save everyone, because I'm sick of people dying. Volo just died. For the first time ever, someone shot the smokepowder barrels instead of shooting me. I even got a Deva to move the barrels first and it made no difference. Unbelievable.

It took me years to realise people were saying "Lipton Iced Tea" and not "Liptonized tea"

I wish my job would let me do nothing. No more "There's no work in this department, we'll find something for you in the other department." Just "There's no work in this department, you can do some programming or whatever on your work computer."

2048 is basically a modern version of the Tower of Hanoi. To move 8 disks, you have to move 7 disks twice, with one extra move for the 8th disk. To create 2048, you have to create 1024 twice, with one extra merge for the 2048 tile.

#2. Jello monkey. So much bouncier than that soccer ball.

Week #1 - Soccerball. Not sure how to make it look like it's actually bouncing.
