You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

definitely a very personal take but i don’t read the relationship the love himmel showed frieren as romantic at all, it feels to me like a very deep platonic one

System both does and does not matter. Water is both necessary to life and dangerous. You are both a good and bad person. You can hold two things to be true at the same time. You can understand context and application.

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

I'm doing a newsletter and the first issue is out now! It's more personal, including links to things that I found interesting, mini-essays not long enough for a full post and a dev log. it's named: "i hope it's not the end of the world"

a pouch in the shape of a row of mahjong tiles. a hand of tiles showing something probably worth a lot but i’m not sure

the pouch is open showing a row of dice inside. there are two sets of polyhedrals, one mostly white the other mostly blue

gacha machines are an endless source of fun and cute dice pouches

this is why i so much more prefer forums and text servers because there people still seperate things so i can select what i can bear to see

but we're all on here so i sometimes just can't listen in to the conversation and i guess well

i miss when i could look at social media and not have to confront the whole misery of the current moment - like i know it's important for people to talk about these issues but also like i can't deal with the lack of divisions between contexts - sometimes i can't handle all the pain mixed in

last night i got so engrossed in reading a book that i read from 11pm to 4am it was such a nice feeling to be so deep into it without worry (until i was very sure i should go to sleep instead of reading more)

there is something about setting a timer for 22minutes and saying 'i will do this for as long as this timer is going' that gets me to actually focus better why does it work
