They say Minneapolis is the next big city everyone's moving to. I don't know who "they" are. They is an Instagram reel with 40,000 likes and a comment section full of people who have never been to Minneapolis. They is an article that was probably written by AI, aggregated from other articles that were definitely written by AI, based on a Reddit thread started by a bot. Doesn't matter. I'm already…
There Is No Construction Phase Construction has an architect and it has a laborer. The architect has the vision. The laborer has the hammer. Two people, two educations, two lives. A laborer does not become an architect. It isn't that the path is hard, it's that the path doesn't exist. Get a five year degree and sit for licensure, or stay on the site. Now look at the junior developer's job. A…
This one is for my hairstylist Gracie. Every haircut I've gotten since high school has started with a photo of someone who is not me. Wispy bangs off a girl I'll never meet. A jellyfish cut, two years ago. Bangs and a bob, another time, that made me look like Willy Wonka. I want to be clear that the photos never worked, not once, and that this changed nothing about my behavior. I kept saving them.…
Qifrey drawing the water dragon in Witch Hat Atelier makes me emotional every time. I've rewatched it ten million times and it will never get dull. Which is interesting, because at the end of the day it's just a (admittedly sick af) dragon. Qifrey finally finds the girls in the labyrinth. There's a brief stillness in the air. Ink. A hand that doesn't shake. Then the dragon emerges. I'm not here to…
I Just Need to Bridge the Gap Between Who I Am and Who I Want to Be I love staying up until 2am perfectly crafting how I'm going to turn my life around tomorrow and become the most productive, successful, changed person ever. I love my 50 tabs of research and plans for newfound passions and hobbies that never make it to the morning. I love daydreaming about the infinite possibilities of my life…

the board is a grid. eight by eight. sixty-four squares alternating light and dark. it's a battlefield, an architecture, a set of assumptions made visible. someone decided to create a world divided into light squares and dark squares and named them and called it a game, and then people spent five hundred years treating it like science and art and religion bc it's all of those. chess is calculation…
if i could sit you down at the kitchen table one more time. if i could set up the board between us. it was the pirates of the caribbean chess set dad brought home one day, the one i learned on, the one that witnessed my first victory three games in. and if you could sit next to me the way you used to. chin in hand. watching me think. if i could teach you chess. you never really learned. you…
to live, i remind myself of the following principles: anyone can be a phantom monarch non-zero days > do or do not. there is no try the little things matter, and matter more than the big picture bias for action done is better than perfect, but be perfect anyways i am what i create a wip
today i wanted to understand how saves work for different steam accounts for the same game on the same device. someone on reddit asked the same question, specifically for a game like hollow knight, where both users saves end up in the exact same folder. no subdirectories. no user-specific paths. just .config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight/ for everyone. and yet somehow the game only shows you…
