Hoo boy, I feel that. It's like my motivation and focus checked out in February 2020.

Plus the academic game was too easy, so school never taught me life skills, so... Yeah.

It's fairly crowded and can be a challenge to get attention, but it's full of excellent and fun things.

Rules, settings, adventures, and supplements, yes. It's slightly more mainstream now with more designers in the market, but there are more editors offering their services, too. So it feels like a fairly steady state to me.

30 years with MSSQL, slightly less with Oracle, about 10 with MySQL, mostly doing DB design and engineering. I've built data interfaces and pipelines. I did some DBA work over the past 15 years that the centralized DBA team didn't know about.

I appreciate you keeping an eye out. Thanks!

Finally had a chance to go through the job listings. Most engineering positions are looking for coding and not database expertise, so I'm probably not a good fit for anything at present.

Thanks for the pointer!

3) The effort is the juice! The effort is the high! Mastery of a skill is an unparalleled buzz. "Having written" is nice yes, we all joke about that, but *the making is the pleasure*. Men who've never experienced that, trying to steal it because ironically *they do not know its value*, is a sin.

So Move is actually Take a trip? Or Break the barrier between the spheres? Or Fake out people while you run like hell? Or Make a break for it?

Update: I violated the oath and got nipped for my transgression. If only atonement in all faiths were so easily earned.

Also made and consumed dinner, so I'll take the overall win.

It's better to burn out than fade away.

Same. Lucky they never made a crappy sequel to that classic, amirite?

Much appreciated! I'll take a look this week and let you know. Thanks!

This means that like what should be the same scene of LARPS, Forum Roleplaying, Parlor Games, Murder Mysteries, Escape Rooms, Board Games, etc all don't really have the crossover they realistically should
