 You're welcome! I forget how, but there's a way to change the settings such
 that each player has more "rubber" and I recommend doing that because it makes
 it more forgiving and allows you to make a few mistakes without dying
 immediately.

 this is how I write trello cards or tickets.
 
 and yes, before you ask, modding this game is a constant struggle because the
 mod tools are... minimal... so you must work around various challenges by, for
 example, adding 1680 different "events" that must be checked every single turn
 for every single province on the map.
A trello card describing a proposed change to a video game mod that has only one person working on it. It's essentially documentation. It is written in a professional style with several sections - the first lists the "current behavior", the second shows the intended behavior (with a small section for the intended effects of the intended behavior), and the third major section lists the proposed solutions in as much detail as possible without writing the code itself.

 You don't have to come up with the WHY for why a character does something -
 only that it happened.
 
 if the "WHY" leaps out at you, sure, yeah, go for it, until of course your
 players sitting around the table say something like "I bet they did this thing
 because of this reason" and you're like "shit that's better than what I got,
 okay that's how it's gonna be"

 That happens a lot with online people. You can only see one side of them, the
 side they present to the camera, and so it's difficult to find new ways of
 looking at them. Hopefully you can find the brighter sides of this person! I'm
 sure they exist, unless the person is spiralling. Then they'll often be
 pushing themselves first one way, then the next, but both directions point
 down... And that produces the ":(" feeling. Good luck!

 Coding superpower:
 
 Start thread 
 While(true):
 Run();
 
 Then, whenever you want it to run something else, change the function pointer
 that run() uses to call a function
 
 At the end of the run() function, set the function pointer in the while loop
 to the next one. That way you don't stack overflow from the recursion.

 these two things took me all evening. I played some video games too. I put
 them in one so you don't have to see so many of them.
a picture of a page from the bicycle notebook.  first part is a collection of brainstorming and diagrams drawn in pursuit of Raleigh, my stab at artificial intelligence.  It's not done yet, in fact it's hardly even a design. It's more like, a thought in the mind that is slowly evolving to adapt to challenges that it might face when being implemented.  and sometimes it's like, beautiful architectures that I'm like "what could I do with these?"  anyway then it starts to devolve into kooky-dookerie about halfway through, and the rest of the notes are written in slant-form -> like, instead of reading one-after-another they sorta change tone and intonation rapidly in a cycle - it's super disorienting. Except visually it's like, tilted text, like a picture-frame that's nudged to one side and hanging from it's frame instead of it's wire holding-point.  do blind people often touch paintings? I doubt it, because it damages the painting. Alas, that materials are finite and flawed and degrade and become stone again. Good news though, sometimes pictures can carry meanings that are impossible to describe visually, but not impossible auditorily.  like, the sound of the voice in your head as you read the plaquards at a museum that displays ancient artifacts or bones of massive beasts or gemstones or science experiments or art or culture or mechanical motion displayed like clockwork and hope.  history is one of my favorite. you can find them by the side of the road. they're lovely homes 4 us many fediverse posts placed into a single image to be passed around as a bundle for people that the viewer decides might want to see them - y'know, like an artwork.

 do it in a random color each time! Here's my implementation for viewing txt
 files colorfully:
some bash computer code which first picks a random color, and if the color is a bad combination (like, black front and black back, meaning you can't see the lines of the letters) then it redoes it and tries to pick a better one randomly. It'll keep trying until it gets a correct combination but honestly there's only like one or two bad ones that don't look so great

 sometimes the best way to understand why things are the way they are is to ask
 why they aren't the way that seems logical to you.
 
 usually someone will correct you and say "oh it's because X Y and Z" and you
 say "cool" and change your direction
 
 but sometimes their answers "unlock" part of your past understandings, thus
 creating new questions.
 
 Sorta like in a video game when you level up a certain building/research path/
 milestone / whatever and it finishes a "tier", thus giving you a larger bonus.
 
 ??? yeah so anyway more questions are good because they give you more
 perspectives on what's going on around you.

 You know how in some games there's the tutorial where you set up keybindings
 like "push the jump key now! okay now push the enblobbify key now!"?
 
 I wish there was something like that for vim
 
 "push the key you want to move up with! now push the key you want to use to
 vertically select! now push the key you want to use to switch to a new tab!"
 that kind of thing. except... more ordered, of course, and with the option to
 say "idgaf use the default or whatever" and a handy dandy cheat-sheet that was
 autogenerated with ascii art of a typical keyboard that pointed out what each
 key did - jeeeezzzzz the things we could make if software developers had free
 time during the day...

 Is my formatting pretty or does it make you angry?
screenshots of C and Lua code that have strange formatting. The style is designed such that the readers eyes "flow" across the code like the gradual descent of water down a sloping riverbed, following a logical progression from top left to bottom right (generally) while returning to the left side whenever a new operation is performed or something is repeated.  This particular picture is of a simple if check:  if a creature's rank is equal to "four" or "two", then the creature is a rare monster type. Otherwise, they are not a rare monster type. Lua code to determine whether or not a character in a video game is available to be ambushed by a randomly generated monster.  There are several checks applied, checking things like "is the character sitting down" or "are they underwater", in which case a message is printed to the log and no further action is taken.  If all of the checks pass, and the character is free to be ambushed, then it runs the "spawnAndAttackPlayer()" function. A long string of "if" statements checking whether individual bits in a very small data structure are set. There's nine of them total, and they are arranged in a grid - this project was for a tic-tac-toe game, where there are nine total squares to play in. Setting up some location variables for a player unit. It starts by setting an X, Y, Z, and O for orientation value to a player's current location. Then it steps through and sets them to more accurate values. The reason for this ordering is so that if the function to find the more accurate value fails, it can fall back on the player's current location instead.  The interesting formatting is due to the layout of the "set" operations - they are ordered in a two dimensional grid rather than a top-to-bottom list like how most people would organize it.

 Perhaps, potentially, people should pay for the original work, and then a
 small sliver for the addition or modification? Why, I do believe that's how it
 works now! Except, on the honor system, as people can download the mods for
 free and pay (or not) through the creator's patreon page or whatever that they
 definitely set up and which definitely shouldn't be able to levy a tax based
 on "transaction fees" for a process which definitely should be handled by the
 government, which claims to regulate our economy and provide the means by
 which we engage with said economy through their de-facto nationalization of
 the banks and other economic entities.

 you know how SSH password login is deprecated because the password needs to be
 transmitted in cleartext or whatever?
 
 what if we just... required two passwords?
 
 the first initiates the conversation, and sets up an encrypted line. It
 doesn't matter if anyone sees the first password because they'll get a new set
 of encrypted keys, meaning each session automatically is encrypted in a
 different, randomized way.
 
 the second password is the one that actually authenticates you.

 If you want to clean your room, try pushing everything loose into a pile in
 the center. Then, sit down next to it and sort things into piles.
 
 "here's a pen pile, here's a paper pile, here's a rubber band pile, here's a
 trash pile" etc etc. Then, when you can't reach anything more or the piles are
 too large, find a spot for them in the bookcase or drawer or wherever.
 
 If you can't, then reorganize. If you still can't, then pick things to get rid
 of.
