Rough day, loads of prep for new years party, can't do hobby stuff because that area is needed for the party, and now my favourite pan seems to be breaking down
This pizza we're making better turn out good, my mood depends on it

I entered a (local) miniature painting contest for the first time ever and managed to make third? Doing anything visual was unthinkable for me a few years ago
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

Didn't have a lot of idle time, so I didn't snap many pictures. There was someone walking around with a camera though, so more may follow.

At a local Conquest event today. We're playing a custom football hack, and it is CHAOTIC
So many custom randomization dice
And none of it is balanced
It's hilarious!

If everything Rob Pike created vanished overnight, the Internet would stop working. If everything AI created vanished overnight, we’d all breathe a huge sigh of relief and get on with our lives.
Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

After having HighFleet on my wishlist for ages, I finally bought it. Hot damn, this game oozes flavour! I'm a sucker for diegetic interfaces, and this games does it oh so well. The gameplay systems are pretty deep as well, as far as I can tell with the bit I played so far.
