I have a fondness for game boxes, if only out of nostalgia for utility. My old Basic & Expert D&D boxes got hauled around with all the AD&D stuff because they held all the character sheets and dice. So, I was definitely intrigued with what the intent was for this box.

If you edit CSV files a bunch, Modern CSV is so nice. It's much more lightweight than Excel and intuitive.
Visually it's very utilitarian, does not feel like a macOS app but is close enough given its other strengths.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Happy Black Pie Day!
I am a huge fan of the traditional media portrayal of black pie day - a day for friends to come together, hang out, play games and share pie in a low stress manner, but I think we sometimes forget the real meaning of Black Pie Day.

I see the argument that steam should not be labeling AI content because eventually they’ll have to label everything.
I have a contentious reply to that, but my less contentious reply is that if that is so, we can deal with it if and when it happens with no real problem. All very reasonable.

And I'm profoundly disappointed with myself that I didn't say something along the lines of "What's more appropriate today than Turkey?"
My most recent, #GURPS HOT SPOTS: ISTANBUL, for roleplaying in the (early modern) capital of the Ottoman empire. Serves as a sequel to HOT SPOTS: CONSTANTINOPLE for time travel fun and is contemporary with HOT SPOTS: FLORENCE and HOT SPOTS: VENICE for far-reaching Renaissance coverage.
