I haven’t seen Marty Supreme yet but based on the amazing new Oneohtrix Point Never music I’m gonna have to make it happen soon. He’s the new Vangelis.

I’m not insecure at work but in 3 years I’ve literally never seen another man apply for my same position, & I’m now wondering how much of the social dissonance I experience there is actually due to perceived gender roles in commercial construction & not just my inherent introversion.

Yeah I'm grumpy to be at work but since I don't actually have anything to do today I can't be too too grumpy.

Seeing Avatar 3 in IMAX tonight. 20min until showtime and I’m the only person here. Will it last? Not likely, but I hope so.

Ran through the solo adventure in the Pendragon 6E starter set again. This time I achieved a final score qualifying for Knight of the Round Table even though I still got my ass handed to me in the boar hunt and bohort melee.

Look, all I want for 2026 is for the universal response to “Hey this is neat” to STOP being “Maybe, but here’s several problems I have with it”

It was just too lovely outside to pass up a post-snowstorm run. Things were a little slippery and slow, but the views made up for it and I found myself thinking about that Neil Hilborn poem about Minnesota winters.

I’m convinced the Matchmaker building and Radical character in Ball X Pit was added late in development because absolutely nobody had the patience for the Tactician.

Yesterday I got to learn Compile, and also play another game of The Old King’s Crown. The latter is still the most exciting and funny game I’ve played in 2025.

Our annual in-person game of Dragonbane tonight was incredibly full of highlights. The fearless duck knight finally found himself running away from a monster. The old mage was carrying too many books to move for 4 straight rounds. The most agile fighter in the party was paralyzed by poison.

It’s a cool feeling in Ball X Pit to spend 19k gold to upgrade 50+ buildings all at once and know that you can make that much money back in just a couple of runs/harvests
