I never did a proper introduction on here, and with the latest influx of X refugees maybe it’s time. Here’s a bunch of descriptors that apply to me, in no particular order:
- AuDHD
- geek/nerd/weeb/otaku
- elder denizen of the World Wide Web
- dancer
- friendly but unreliable

I am worried that at some point I’m going to run out of polite ways to say “the thing you’re suggesting is so confusing that I’m convinced you have no idea what you’re talking about either”.

A few years back I was in Valencia for work, and while wandering around I got a little lost. Eventually, though, I recognised a sculpture carved into a wall. "That's a relief," I thought.

Borrowed from @reynardo.bsky.social, after opening Christmas crackers, you gather all the bad jokes and treat them like the Riddler’s clues from 1960s Batman and try to work out his plan.
Scratchvent. We make an advent calendar out of lottery tickets, and do one every night until Christmas.
Since it's a season when a lot of people are spending time with friends and family: what are your favorite made-up games and traditions to play during the holidays? DIY scavenger hunts, almonds baked into cakes for win a prize, Scrabble tournaments that get way too heated... please share em all!

Don’t mind me, I just got emotionally wrecked by the season finale of Apothecary Diaries.

@mtggoldfish.com #MTGFishMail If Final Fantasy didn’t exist as an IP and Wizards released the set as-is and said it was another new plane, how Magic-like would you rank it compared to stuff like Thunder Junction, Karlov Manor and Aetherdrift?

@saffronolive.bsky.social I feel like Songcrafter Mage should be able to do something crazy with X cost spells. The dumbest I’ve come up with is Songcrafter Mage + Woodcaller Automaton + Doppelgang should go infinite in the right circumstances. Anything more reasonable you can think of?

tfw you’re setting an overly constrained crossword and you get a bunch of long entries to fit together perfectly in a way you’re fairly certain makes the rest of the grid unfillable. >.<

The other thing that’s caught me out lately is that apparently I never internalised the fact that くわしい, くやしい and くるしい are different words. Two of them have similar meanings but I guess I was just interpreting くわしい as meaning “in painful detail” and not noticing that it was different?

Japanese that’s tripping me up lately:
流 is read as “ryuu”, and means a flow or current
行 is read as “kou” and means going
流行 is read as “ryuukou” and means trend or fad - not too bad so far
流行る *also* means trend, but it’s read as “hayaru”
Which is apparently unrelated to any other reading.

Cursed knowledge: the opening melody in the chorus of “Be A Flower” (花になって) is the same as the McDonald’s “I’m lovin’ it” jingle.

Started the Christmas break with an eggs Benedict on a bagel. Delicious but probably not the best for my cholesterol.

So many other things I could be doing, but I decided to rewatch some of The Apothecary Diaries. I love Maomao's various appearances, but I think the thing that I enjoy most is that all the characters are very smart, but sometimes they're very dumb in the way that only very smart people can be.

I have a joke about game design, but I’m afraid of it being stolen so I refuse to tell it to anyone.
I have a joke about game design. It kind of sucks right now and I haven’t written the punchline, but if you’d let me tell it to you several times I’d be forever in your debt.
I have a joke about game development but it's stuck in development hell

I will never be a stamp collector, but this latest series hits me right in the nostalgia. All five of these shows and films are ones I distinctly remember from my childhood.
