Working on games for a company that makes masks for about 5 years, and this is only the third mask that I've bought for myself, because it's super cool.

We've started storing things in the attic, which I suspect is the first step in a slow slide to hoarding.

"Botswana" by Knizia. On your turn you take an animal and play a card. The most recently played card for an animal is its current value. When all the cards for any one animal have been played, the turns ends and they all score. Sort of a game of chicken with stocks, where the animals are the stocks.

Google turned cloud backup on for my phone photos without asking. Whatev, just mildly evil, I'll turn it off and delete them... I have ~1300 photos on my phone, but now Google photos has 6899 photos? Oh, because it "found" everything I had previously deleted from my phone too, through 2004? Cool.

I was doing stretches as part of exercising, and counting in my head how long I held it for: one-one-thousand two-one-thousand etc. Finished and came upstairs to start dinner. When I started running water to fill the pot, my head automatically started going one-one-thousand two-one-thousand...

Advice: when your contact info gets put in a place that's searchable, scammers WILL contact you. Inherit a house? Expect letters trying to buy/repair it. Start a business? They'll reach out to offer services you don't need. Exhibit at a convention? They'll try to sell you fake lists of attendees.

NEW: Flock has said for years that its cameras "cannot track individuals." We found the code for its new AI tool. It's preloaded w/ prompts like "Find me witness" & "find relatives." One tracks visitors of multiple hotels, another if you visit banks after midnight. www.wired.com/story/flock-...

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

We got a 3 pack of these crazy bright rechargeable work lights on significant markdown for $17, then got them home and realized they also have a USB-C out port, so they can be like portable phone batteries too. Very pleased.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

user abbiistabbii:
The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

This inventory counting robot was trying to go back to its dock (it said "going home" on its face-screen). But someone had put stanchions in its way on both sides of the white pole, so it just went back and forth for several minutes until a worker came and moved them.
