Also, again, a reminder that "AI" is such a broad and useless marketing term that it's almost entirely useless. I can't say I will never use "AI" because it covers so much programming ground, including ground previously not under its umbrella. I can say what creative things I won't use it *for.*

Christopher Moore has joked about how many of his books have been optioned while never getting developed. Something about how you might make more money from renewed options than you'd end up making from a film.

Working through and exploring with these sections all helped a lot. especially playing with custom containers makes me feel like I understand views so much more. Thank you!

To keep the alerts in the correct order, I don't adjust the property for the game over alert until [Continue] is clicked. Also took the time to play around with views a bit more.

Chessboard Alignment

xkcd.com/3177/
Comic. [Three chess games next to each other. There is a diagonal yellow grid highlight from the pawn in the top left corner of the third chessboard to the bottom of the middle chessboard where there’s a clear path. The player positioned near that bottom section has moved to look at the third chessboard.] [caption] It doesn’t happen often because it requires micrometer precision, but if two chess boards are *perfectly* aligned, it’s actually legal to move pieces between them.

My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

I played around with putting the "amount per person" above the number pad during entry, but it just didn't look look and feel good this time. I'm glad I figured out how that works though!
