@spinningthoughts @taylorhadden embedding binary in a text format designed[1] for readability and editability? That’s — uh — I’d go so far as to call that “clever” which is not a compliment.

Me: “I hope you feel better than you — uh —”

She: “Better than I look?”

Me: “Uh — you’re beautiful! But — like one of those Victorian poems about a maiden with tuberculosis. Yeah! her cheeks so rosy she coughed blood so daintily”

Yes that was a good save. @IamMrsGeek surely remains enraptured by my quick wit. She even sent me this image in gratitude.

Finally started moving forward in #Valheim. Progressed far enough that trolls have been demoted from “omg run” to “persistent nuisance.”

Just one of those things when you’re picking berries for jam.
