Min mor, min søster, min svoger, en kollega eller to. Lidt afhængig af hvor langt du vil række ud :) Jeg står gerne inde for dig som person :)

If you’re in Århus/Aarhus any time soon, pop by Kunsthal Aarhus and get a dose of anti-motivation. Fun, easy to decode and laugh at art.

When I played AW as a player for the first time, I was so confused. I was so unused by then with having the character as the (almost) only way to influence the fiction. So I agree: but

Jeg tror nok jeg har klaret dagens dont. Men det var ret sikkert ikke med vilje, får jeg stadig løn som fortjent?

It is so sad. That game is for me important both as an experience and to understand where later designs are coming from. Hard to answer the question: “what games should I read to better understand RPGs?” if your answer is not available. And I don’t dare lend out my copy.

I still haven’t played. I’m still envious. (Someone at Fastaval described it to me as a very “Uffe” game, and I’ve been looking for it ever since.)

I understand the anger, but not the surprise. It has been a while since Google was not-the-bad-guys. (Their war on privacy in browser, not only chrome, but all, is also worth a swear-word).

Tonight we play Dungeon Crawl Classics (old D&D on steroids). First session after the funnel (session where you play multiple characters, and many of them die, a survivor becomes your real character). I think this is always the hardest session in DCC (or for any D&D, first after initial adventure).

New tradition: Every time my wife leaves home without me, she gives me Lego (a tradition is a tradition after first instance, right?). Fun subject, pretty good build, low playability, will be horrendous to disassemble.

Var i Svendborg i går. Dejlig by, men bliver dog aldrig “min” på samme måde som Odense gjorde.

I think this is a matter of preference (often determined by whether or not your tests are written before the code or not).

Most I pity my daughter who has exchanged her travel companion with an eighty-year-old. She has more patience than usually, but it is wearing thin.

More kinda helpless adventures in Prague. My back decided to end itself just before we left (after years of neglect - I promise myself a bit of exercise when I come home) so the past days in Prague has been mostly carefully walking around. Not too far from hotel. Not a bad city for short strolls.

I think the word is “direct” not “non-stop”. Language is hard.

Micro-review of the new non-stop train from Copenhagen to Prague (not very non-stop because we had to take a different train to Hamburg, and because that train was DSB we had a bus from the border): Worst coffee I have ever tasted. Otherwise fine. Have fun on your travels!

Jeg er så træt af at så meget fornuft debat drukner i ekstrem anti-muslim-bullshit. Der er så lidt plads til overs til at få sagt: hvad har i egentlig gang derovre i det religiøse hjørne. Hvis jeg var konspiratorisk ville jeg finde på noget om en islam-indre-mission-alliance…

I already have two editions of PsiRun on my shelf (ashcan and first), but I’m pretty certain I need another edition. And you should get one too! www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

I Odense kom vi til at snakke om jordskælv, men tror ikke vi rigtig troede det var det. Måske bare en stor dør der smækkede to gange.

I love Copenhagen (technically Frederiksberg). People getting married and then straight in a public bus to go to the party.

No worries. Be thorough, then its more tedious than hard.

You can still get Play Unsafe on BackerKit, but probably not for long.

Played Tenby today. Very pretty, but also pretty meh. Definitely not bad. Will be pretty popular with the next-cozy-game-similar-to-the-last-gang. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40...

Was at Papas Papbar (the board game cafe where I spend most og my incomplete phd time, many hours with great friends, even more with my daughter). What a perfect place. Especially when alle the good people take turns to also be there (ok, only some of them, but I felt lucky). Almost 10 years!

It’s odd how it works. Just had new ideas for a silly game I abandoned a year ago. Why? Because I tried to force myself to work on another game I didn’t feel like. Does my brain save up derail-ideas for later or do the appear when “needed”?

HBO-lyden er for mig uløseligt bundet til The Wire (og ender ofte med en af varianterne af temamelodien).

Returning to the (very unreal feeling) real world is a bit tough after being out of the loop during Easter. Can you guys handle this one and I stay ignorant for another week? Please?

At this point, I think it's fair to say that Trump is threatening not only war crimes but also genocide and crimes against humanity.

First half of day two of Fastaval was a couple of prototypes. And then we played DystopAI, by @eanderssonsunden.bsky.social and Daniel Olai - an absolutely crazy engine-builder-manipulation-oddity. So much fun to explore! Many moments of: Oh, you can do _that_?!

First day of Fastaval is over (very early due to tired and slightly overwhelmed daughter). We got to play Rene’s Postulate (not made for my preferences, but a fun start) as well as a few old titles. Lots of familiar faces ❤️ and loud noises. Tomorrow we will dive in proper for a full day of awesome.

Såså, det er altså ikke et krav at matematiklærere kan regne. Det har man jo elever til. (I takt med jeg lærte mere og mere matematik blev jeg ringere og ringere til hovedregning, eller måske var det bare alderen).

Vel en millimeter længere - omtrent. Jeg er, og har aldrig været, tilhænger af brug af de produkter Palantir leverer (blandt dem jeg kender), men jeg er også stærk modstander af lovgivningsarbejde baseret på enkeltsager/-firmaer. Borgerforslaget er naivt, men kernen væsentlig.

I think what is happening within the USA is a bigger change than what happens internationally. It’s pretty bad, and worse than usually, but we’re kinda used to it. USA has never adhered to international law as long as I’ve followed international politics. The BS within the country chocks me though.

The best deadlines: postponed. Had a few days with time to play around and learn new stuff. It is great to have time to touch code that doesn’t urgently have to be done. I enjoy.

Jeg tror min barre bliver sat lidt lavere denne gang. Hvis bare de bidrager positivt til den demokratiske debat undlader forsimplet populisme. Det er nok til at komme på min kandidatliste. Frygter dog den bliver lige så kort som din.

I think perhaps there is a fifth desired attribute that applies to both the collection and individual tests. Descriptive. We want tests to document the overall code well, and we want failing tests to describe bugs well.
