The Stochastic Game

Where did the mountains go? (yes, we’ve been having very very bad air quality here for the last few days)

“I Am An AI Hater”: “Only humans can be haters. I celebrate my humanity.” Sounds good to me.

I love Karren Gillan’s reaction to being cast in the new Highlander… but despite the fancy cast, I doubt it will surpass the awesome unique cheesy/bombastic combination of the original. How can you beat Lambert’s accent, Connery’s mess, Queen’s music, or Clancy Brown?

Network of Time: connecting two people through historical photographs… this is amazing. For instance, you can connect Lovecraft to Taylor Swift in 7 photos! It would be 6 if it had a photo of HPL with Derleth in its archive!

This web API is awesome, this is software development done right. “Never have outdated footer notes again!”

I still need to decide what Delta Green scenario I’m running at KamCon! I usually do either “Sentinels of Twilight” or one of my own — lately it’s “Intramuros” but it needs more tweaking. I guess I should do the tweaking and test it again? That’s what cons are for right? 😅

We are finally back from France… where apparently there’s always someone in our family that’s slightly racist or transphobic or something. On the upside, I’m back to picking up poop several times a day! The fluffy good boy is happy to get his routine back.

We are spending the week in a renovated clergy house, but they kept the old door with, like, 3 different metallic thingies to unlock it. I feel like I’m opening up a medieval castle to let the peasants out.

Holidays back in France means my parents dump another box of old books for me to take home. This time some classic Ennis, Ellis, and Miller stuff, plus some manga (some of which may have aged very poorly, I’ll have to read it again)

Bots are getting fucking annoying. Before we had to deal with bots probing for vulnerabilities, now we also have to deal with genAI bots aggressively harvesting data. I have to do a little sysadmin work to kick them out…
