I've been putting out games-related stuff for a decade now and I've never once worried that maybe my work isn't good or that people aren't enjoying it, which is a nice mindset to be in.
Putting out a serialised novella this month has been terrifying.

Years ago someone "gave me an idea" for something and then immediately demanded that if I did anything with it I should give him 50% of anything I earned from it. So I simply didn't use it and had other ideas instead, because ideas are the easy bit.
It’s always just so funny to me that AI using “writers“ often defend it with but how else are you meant to come up with ideas?? Like that’s what tells you that you weren’t really meant to be a writer, you have none.

i believe people when they say linux has gotten better in the last few years. what i'm skeptical of is that linux Guys have improved. i will not use an OS where i'm at high risk of someone calling me stupid for not liking some aspect of the experience. i must be allowed to hate the computer

Lucky's bed time is 9pm, at which point he demands his treat and that I fuck off upstairs.
It is currently 21:24.
I am on a bus and not at home.
He's going to be very, very angry.
