yeahhh...i happened to be passing through grand central on the first day of lockdown with it looking like this during "rush hour", which is surreal for any new yorker. the next month i walked by medical tents in central park. in 2021 i moved to a place a block from Bellevue hospital. COVID was *bad*

nearing endgame of E33, and can confirm that it blew hades 2 out of the contest for 2025 -- to be fair though, i don't think a sequel can ever truly compete in an honest GOTY race for me unless it's far more dramatically reimagined than hades 1 vs 2

i'm fairly proud of the setup i manage to bring with me in my carry-on every trip so i can work/chill wherever i travel to, such as my parents' home

(though i had to bring a mesh router in my checked luggage this time to leave set up in their house so i actually get wifi here)

this makes me so upset :(

if they want to use shorthand for 5.8*10^-6, it should *only* be written as 5.8E-6, *never* as 5.8e^{-6}, because that should explicitly mean what you were concerned about.
(img for clarity as to what i mean)

it had been nearly a decade since i #gamejam 'd, and it was fun hitting 500 loc in < 1 wknd, working with several first-time jammers to make 🧼Sudizens🫧

nothing like live-venue #ggj to see so much artistic expression in one room: thanks @nyugamecenter.bsky.social!

#4: use WSL2 for a very linux/unix CLI experience, which can be accessed via profiles inside Windows PowerShell (once installed/enabled)
