A menu of 16 drinks from Hidden Harbor in Pittsburgh. All marked off in gold.

Anyone watch #SNL? Thoughts? It was ok. Sport-star-hosted episodes are always a bit weak but it wasn't the weakest in this category imo.

Just cleared Beatdown Dungeon Demon Day in around 7h. Got both endings. Bittersweet, with genuinely heartwarming character moments. Dragomart dungeon was wild. Found a cool 8CSG easter egg🥹 Also, remember lamp oil rope What does it mean? I dunno, you find out😀 Play Beatdown Dungeon Demon Day NOW

There r a lot of good arguments when discussing AI and it's problematic nature. One of my favorite for AI art is like...if u make AI art, you're not an artist; you're just commissioning a bad art thief.

Day 2/3 of annoying week done! Sadly HAFO will need to be delayed a few days most likely but not a ton. Definitely next week.

Nope. Nuh uh. We're not discussing Random Encounters as a Good or Bad thing. We're not doing it. It's a tool. It is a game design approach. It has nothing to do with being good or bad in a vacuum. There are good and bad examples of how you can use it. Please think differently about these things.

In regards to the iced coffee interview stuff in my repost... Tardiness because of an iced coffee looks bad...but otherwise...like..."professionalism" facades have always been sort of nonsense to me. Can you do the job well and not make everyone around you miserable? That should be enough.

the conversation over Iced Coffee isn't about iced coffee it's about the social contract breaking down younger ppl have seen that employers are not upholding their end of the bargain (stable career) so they're not bothering to uphold theirs (playing the stupid corporate social games)
