are you familiar with how MAID has been going in Canada? I used to be a firm believer, but have been radicalized against it in the current social climate... no idea how that would play out in Japan, though.
Sam Altman recommended, in a personal telephone call, that I work with some lawyers who tried to convince me to do securities fraud. He did then tell me not to do the securities fraud when I informed him of this, but his failure to offer a better alternative cost me several hundred thousand dollars.

thank you for this appreciative reply

Battle Narf Review Battle Narf is a difficult precision platformer with creative boss fights. It took me around 6h30m to clear. The world is divided into screens, with a checkpoint usually every four to six screens or so. Outside of screens with boss fights, each screen is "static" in the sense that while there might be moving obstacles and projectile attacks, there's no randomness or variance and the same strategy will work every time. The dynamic of Battle Narf is learning how to complete the early screens in a checkpoint as quickly and consistently as possible to get more attempts at the later screens. Often you'll find a clunky route through a screen at first, and then realize that you can optimize it. It's satisfying to develop and learn these new strategies, and it keeps it from becoming too draining to repeat the early screens. Every so often you'll encounter a boss. The bosses were the highlight of the game for me, but also where I got the most frustrated. They have funny and surprising attacks with unique concepts. They're also extremely strict and unforgiving, and it's hard to tell if the attacks are always fair and reactable. I don't mind when randomness in action boss fights leans on the unfair side, but I did get exasperated a few times, particularly when fighting the 3rd boss and the final one. Nonetheless, it was satisfying to get better at reading the complex attacks and take the bosses down. The final boss was really cool even if I got a little mad at it. The game also has a charming aesthetic, with crunchy hand-drawn tiles, cute sprites, and music that I didn't realize was from external sources until a song from Lagoon (SNES) came on. Give Battle Narf a try if you want to play a challenging game.

Dumped the images off of one of my Gameboy Cameras... found this pic of the moon.
There were eight others, but this was the nice one.
This shot took my biggest lens and a stand made of Lego to hold everything still.
Jake is one of the cleverest, most intelligent people I've had the pleasure of knowing (for 20+ years now). I have no doubt that this crossword is going to be challenging and delightful, just like every other game Jake's ever shared with me. Check it out!
oh wow thank you that's really very kind of you to say!!! i should also warn you that this is a cryptic crossword, and if you don't already know what that means trying to solve it is going to be a bewildering and short-lived experience :D happy to teach you about them, but yeah probably don't buy it
also if you wanna solve just my puzzle and not shell out the big bucks, DM me. it's a really great outlet and deserves your support but i understand if it's too much friction and i want you to see the cool thing we made.
