I got paid (not much) to write a MUD, which involved a whole bunch of research and tact, and then diving in headfirst to start designing a masquerade ball for a bunch of my friends to enjoy.
It'll likely never run, but, I designed a cool duelling system for it!

Well, it took the better part of a month, but I managed to write up another full blog post about Solar. This time, it's about the absolute massive scale of space, even just within a solar system, and how I've gone about capturing that in game.

ok stay with me on this one... sometimes you have writer's block because you're not in Text World. you have to read until you're back in Text World. if you don't read, you're writing in the real world. sentences won't feel right or they'll look goofy. not in Text World though

"Not only is “personal collections” more accurate, in my experience it also draws students’ attention to a number of questions that they don’t ask about the term “archive.” ... Collected by whom? Collected why? For what purpose? These are the questions we are trying to teach as historians."

Over/Under made it so I've had to explain what "the OSR" is to a lot of people so I will say this one more time in public instead of private.
At the circus I work at there is a short clown who is hot under his makeup. Due to the angle I saw him do a specific dance move I know he's hung. That's OSR.
