Today's #AdventOfCode (part 1) is now in the bag. Turns out you don't have to convert anything into integers until the very end.

And that's part 1 done of today's #AdventOfCode (in Lua).
Like always, part 2 brought in the folding chair and batted me into the ropes. Cycle detection algorithms aren't helping and they think any doubles count. Maybe I'll save the second parts for after the holiday.

This year's #AdventOfCode has really kicked my butt this year on part 2. Another situation where all the sample data processes right but there's *something* missing. I can't find where that gap is to save my life.

I think I'm done with ConTeXt now. Too much hassle just to get custom typefaces working. Typst makes it all easier and using it even makes my Makefile look tidier.

Is it pronounced "pecan" or "pecan"? 🤔

DriveThru has their Black Friday Cyber Monday sale going on right now. Most Mythic stuff is 30% off during the sale: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...
I feel like at this point I should be saying, "Get yer Mythic stuff! Piping hot Mythic, sale sale sale!"
Nah, I shouldn't say that.

For the most thankful Thanksgiving, be sure to leave a cornucopia hanging over the fireplace. The Great Pilgrim will stop by with his eight turkeys pulling his sleigh to deliver food to good boys and girls under their Thanksgiving tree.

Embrace your seething hatred for AI slop because you're right to do so.

Guess that would explain why my old ConTeXt documents wouldn't compile. MkIV documents need to be run with the old LuaTeX while the newest MkXL documents are LuaMetaTeX by default.

There's almost something offensive about selling a piece of wood with preprinted index cards and charging $100+ for it. And THEN topping it off with a subscription for more cards just to play GTD? Now I remember why I stopped bothering with podcasts when they advertise this stuff.

Don't know why Lovecraft's such a popular horror figure. So much of his works boil down to "oh man this is too terrible to describe" and Call of Cthulhu is just a second-hand story of ramming the titular monster with a steamboat.
