I rolled 2d10 and got 8+9=17, so that was pretty good.

But somehow with my 1d3, 1d4, 1d6, and 1d18, I rolled 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5, which was a lot less good.

So, a mixed (dice) bag.

So I've been rolling dice daily playing @sophieh.itch.io 's Dice the Demiurge (sophiehoulden.com/dicethedemiu...) for three days now, and yesterday I got lucky on my first attempt at finding the Wandering Emporium, so now I have a 1d18 for singing in the shower when no one was home.

I also told him about how if you waited on the title screen long enough, it would change a bit, and then it would play one of the songs. When I heard the song on the radio, I thought, "Oh, that sounds a lot like this one Atari game I once played."

I hope he is as blown away as I was seeing the album in the wild, but more likely he thought I was a weirdo.

At a craft festival, I see vintage vinyl for sale, and on top? Journey's Escape album.

I tell him that when I was younger, I used to play the Atari game (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey...) & didn't know about the band or album until years later.

He had never heard of the game.

I've been chided every so often for still having a Yahoo email address, and my excuse has always been that, you know, it has been my email address for most of my online life. Changing would be disruptive.

But maybe now is the time I finally use something else as my main personal email provider.

Yahoo! Mail saying that I can "set things up so my inbox works exactly how I want with the help of AI."
