So anyways last night Bouncy Dog wanted to let me know he’s happy I’m home.

Thought it would be clickbait listicle, but nope. I cringed at least 40 times. Not all of them get to me, but way more than I expected.

There’s also a pinned comment listing them out, in case you’d rather read them than hear them.

I still maintain that the solution to the problem of ever-increasing software complexity is not tools to manage that complexity, but fire.

Alas, I know that’s a losing argument.

Back to work.

No but seriously. 95F in the desert with a warm evening breeze feels pretty darn nice — once your body has accepted that it’s not going back to 50 and misty.

@thegibson Step out of the air conditioned car, feeling that blanket of warm but not hot air coming at you from the sunset, to quote baby dayliner

@jalefkowit Finally grateful to have never committed more than maybe five neurons to configuring WordPress.

Trying Smalland again to see if anything clicks for me yet. Been a couple updates since my last try.

Smalland is definitely better than — checks play history — a year ago? Jeez I’d hope so.

You can pause in single player now, so I felt safe actually engaging with the game. Something still feels insubstantial and floaty about it, but less so than before.

I may stick around long enough to find out if it’s a good game.

At least for the intro, Grounded still feels like a better “hello yes we are small people and the world is a big world” game. It pays more attention to physics. Cartoon physics sure but still. But Smalland as fae tree puncher in a land of giants might be okay.
