work day 353: Damn time flies by. I did go on a one week bend of not doing much. (other than working at my job ofc). I still catch myself thinking: "Oh, this is such a task, i must set aside time in a day, blah blah blah... it is 6pm now" in the morning. Life is hard when i have to fight myself...

@blacksaltgames.com , do you work on anything rn? maybe dredge 2? I loved the first one and although i am taking a break from gaming i would love to return with another one of your titles in my online library

Work day 348: While cravings are high, i preoccupy myself with day dreaming about having a garden (a very gen z in britain dream, innit?). Please dont use pesticides. One of the reasons for me choosing my specific cambrdige college was the garden and ability to walk on grass youtu.be/8oEAQhjvrRM?...

Work day 347: so after work i just sat in bed all day. It is strange, like it is almost a week since i hardline dropped gaming with no ifs or buts. I cannot put into words how my mindscape looks like now. Every gap in my thought gets filled with rationalisation on why it wouldnt be bad to game.

Raf aka Faficzek @thatfaficzek.bsky.social · 10/06/2025
work day 246: Today I have changed the environment i am in by visiting my alma mater. Half a week without games and while i still can feel the itch, the change makes it less noticible now.

Raf aka Faficzek @thatfaficzek.bsky.social · 09/06/2025
Work day 345: While i am already getting the itch from not playing games. Like hard. Like i sit at my laptop and keep tapping my leg against the floor. Even worse thing is to replace one habit with another and youtube also makes me waste too much time pursuing less than relevant things to my life.

WD 300b (trying to save on characters: on the plus side i got involved with cambridge university students against pseudoscience, helping someone with their A levels and got a reply from a very busy academic to a curious question that i got and is totally not in my field for a blog post i am writing.

Work day 290: cat in the shower. She was so confused why the human purposefully covered himself with water. Cute 10/10, gave me only slight embarassment.

Raf aka Faficzek @thatfaficzek.bsky.social · 13/04/2025
Work Day 288: I think it is peculiar how the employment of algorithms strip the himanity from recruiting process. LIke, so much now pivots on your CV contents and stats like grades from university (although once at work, less so). And I think it is sad, but also, nepotism is bit worse so who knows.

Work day 284: no work day update today.

work day 285: best way to learn is to do problems, but what the hell is one to do when they are stuck on a problem? Like genuinely, not a lot of can be gained by hitting your head against a wall for hours. Being stuck in itself (for a bit) is fine, it allows the physics to sink into the brain sponge

Work Day 261b: someone should study: - The influence of short form communication like the 280 characters on blue sky on quality of communication and spread of misinformation - The spread and influence of hypersexualised ads. Like my dear god, can i not get these please. I hate them. so much

Raf aka Faficzek @thatfaficzek.bsky.social · 18/03/2025
Work day 261: One day I will be able to touch type : without pressing ". Anyhow, while the general rule of thumb is to not try any key products like financial or health or mental health advertised by youtubers, I think that a non-key product like Nebula are excellent. I love nebula

To all physics people. Leonard Susskind hates people named Bob
Picture of exerpt from Theoretical Minimum seires by Leonard Susskind: What happens when Bob hits the singularity? By that point, the tidal forces will become so large that Bob will no longer be with us. Bob will have been destroyed by the time he gets to the center of the black hole field. That is why we don't think about trying to answer the question: what does Bob see when he gets to, say, a negative r? By the time he gets to negabive r, he has experienced infinitely strong tidal forces and there is no more Bob.

Day 241: On that note, can we also appriciate that the CDPR also came up with their own system for generating mouth movement for all the cutscenes. They just had so much damn dialogue that animating all by hand was unfeasable

Yes. I can tell you why i think that is (might try and simulate it at some point). So first of all, rate of evaporation depents on many factors, here the key would probably the surface area to volume ratio (positive corelation), temperature and concentration of water vapour near the boundary.

Work Day 200: Damn, 200 days flew by and i have not made desirable progress. HMMMMMMM. tbf i have been too lazy and resting on laurels after getting a part time job. There are two ways i could go about it: self pity into nothingness and do no more progress or reflect and learn. Anyhow
