Sure it sucks that the only thing we got from the promises of Cyberpunk was the dystopian corporation-controlled society, but hey Trump is going to deliver another batch of tropes soon! What? Oh no, not the flying cars and cyber-arms. I’m talking of the burned down US vs strong Europe and China!

Researching for a 17th century New France Call of Cthulhu scenario, I’m coming across the story of a guy sentenced to death for (I think?) involuntary manslaughter, but the executioner died shortly after so he was told to either wait for a new executioner, or become the new one. Obviously he choose the latter!

Players: (coming up with subtle plans to handle the evil NPC in the room)

Wizard: (casts a minor spell to help but rolls a critical and sets the room and everyone in it on fire)

Players: Well that works too

“Progress” in consumer tech is when my phone becomes utterly unusable under even the lightest rain. That’s what we get for letting a Californian company set tech trends.

My 6-year-old iPad Pro became unusable for drawing (it was adding random lines all the time) so I got a new one and ho ho ho the volume buttons have moved and are flipped. I keep getting confused.

Every “genAI is great for coding, actually!” article I’ve seen is like “and so I spend my day talking to a chatbot, writing requirements in an MD doc, fixing build errors, and asking for unit tests”. Is that supposed to be “great”?! Are these people COMPLETELY DRUNK?! WTF!!

The weird thing about the Star Trek Motion Picture is seeing Star Trek for the first time with good VFX, sets, and costumes. Took a few scenes to get used to it 😅 The great thing however is how it shows the scale of the Enterprise and its crew. It’s a big ship!

Another nice-looking morning out there.

A little stroll to downtown Vancouver… looking good out there…

Judging from what my phone tells me, Apple thinks I was completely slacking off during my ski week…
