Dropped ATM9 for now. Decided I didn’t care about quests or endgame, and didn’t like how mods seem thrown in without real cohesiveness.

Got a couple arcs going now. This one’s in Builder’s Paradise 2 with large biomes.

Naturally I start in a desert. On day ten I receive an aesthetic stroke of good fortune and find some dried mud.

30 days in and definitely not rushing anything. Wandered out far enough to find some dirt to bring back for a little garden patch.

A hearty middle finger to the combined efforts of modern commercial distributed server architecture and search engine optimization for making my brain blank that much worse when I forget the name of a cloud I’m looking at so I search for “cloud terminology” and — well.

Having “who wrote this garbage” feelings about the code I committed two weeks ago, so I guess the Go skill building is moving apace.

I’m not sure but we might have some weather headed our way.

@genehack That’s the pattern I’ve noticed. It moves a bit quicker than the Apple Weather widget can keep up with.

@genehack For me it’s almost the entirety of Blue Scholars “Cinémetropolis”. Turns out the dang thing was a hip hop essay, with an opening, illustrative points, and conclusion. Beats and flow in perfect working order.

“Tommy Chong” was the weakest track to my ears, but it was the most current-events of the set. So that means I’d call the first 12 tracks the best opening. And the last two the best closing.

It took repeated listenings for me to appreciate the essay aspect.
