Hello! Late intro:
Most probably know me as charliethegfish and Charlie in general. Going by Char more now, but Charlie is still fine.
I'm a UI engineer currently, but also have strong interests in wavefunction collapse and writing programming languages 👀
Say hi and or show me your cat

Did changing my sheets and remaking my bed take approximately 10 times longer with Guinny involved? Yes.
Was it kind of delightful watching him run around and "help" me.
Absolutely yes.
Love my little chaos boy.

Delighted that I got to speak about how much I love learning and reflect on that at Freeplay this year.
Also delighted by how many people have now asked me about Obsidian. Sharing things you love is good actually.

Spent the weekend sick and played like 15hrs of civ 6 or something. At one point I accidentally voted for myself to lose 2 diplomatic victory points and it won. So I only lost the one point 😂

Guinny had another echo today and my apartment has been so empty and crime free without him.

Just had a 30min MRI in which I had to keep my eyes closed and not move my eyes at all.
Anyway I think I deserve a burger for lunch.
