Project Manager in-training. Needed a repository for my abundant nerd-talk. Warning: the video game Satisfactory has momentarily become 70% of my personality.
Blue Prince is a very cool game that only really works if you can sink a lot of time into it in a relatively short period of time, not two hours once a week like I can currently give.

Invincible season 3 definitely suffered a bit from obvious production and development issues making them push to release faster than it took for season 2.

Searching for entry-level project management work is tricky. Namely, in that it's all either construction (a vertical I have no interest in) or far too advanced to actually be entry-level, or even intermediate most of the time.

Life momentarily became a cascade of things that took precedence over my creative efforts. That time has (mostly) passed.

Balancing responsibilities is hard. Satisfactory, Project Zomboid, Final Fantasy, AND Pokemon?

The older I get, the more writing I do, the more I cultivate my creative aspects...the more I come to understand that all I really want to do is create alongside others. To write stories together and create worlds as one.
I am not as interested in the life of the lone author.

I do not want to go to my day job. I want to stay home and build factories. I want to automate a production pipeline, optimize conveyor belt architecture, and conduct strategic resource management.
Anyways I guess Satisfactory is my life now

Watching Squid Game S2 and, just checked, but how is there not yet a death games simulator that allows you to play from the organizational management side?
