  • In fact I strive to do as little as possible. I only work to pay the bills. If I could luck upon a comfortable enough nest egg I would quit working immediately and just play games the rest of my life (video & board, solo and with friends/family).

    Hell, I may end up contributing more to society that way since I enjoy dabbling in video game design but don’t have enough time to actually work towards anything I could release. If I had time, maybe I’d actually create something for a wider audience rather than whatever minor contribution I have at work.



  • I have a “turn off the laser pointer” routine with my cat - nothing crazy, I just bring the pointer up right next to her and cover the dot, turn it off, and then pick it up and let her smell the end. The specifics don’t matter, but she knows that that routine means the laser pointer goes away, and a physical toy comes out next to give her something to actually catch.


  • My favorite is when systems will stealth truncate your password without telling you, but only when setting it. For some reason I often encounter this with systems truncating to 20 characters.

    • Set 24 character password: no error (secretly truncated to 20 characters).
    • Try to log in: credentials invalid (it checks the full 24 character one against the 20 character one).
    • Go to reset to what it should be, password can’t be the same (again, stealth truncating to 20 characters).
