i really like this album "from deewee" by soulwax... but i suspect it's a very niche sound https://open.spotify.com/album/0ixwdleroFAl7fWqYZaSsA?si=3rhdZmO8TV6_si6VK4iJ8Q

by the way, hello from san josé during the plague year!

first attempt at making steamed pork buns!

me: "wow, this everything but the girl album came out roughly at the same time as true blue, but it holds up! it's as relevant today as it was then!"

rus: "yes... as relevant today as it was then... that's kind of an indictment..."

... which would have saved my character and let me continue playing. instead, everything is lost and all i have is the memory of the start of what might have been a fun campaign.

oh well. onward.

it's bizarre to me that book-based RPGs are often played by *very* tech-savvy people... yet they're fine with using a bunch of broken shit that looks vastly more complex to write/maintain than a basic website.

that previous RPG literally required a custom app (which crashed frequently, natch) running under a windows VM -- why???

i have too many side projects already, but honestly... the D&D character sheet is so simple, a web monkey could turn it into an editable html page in probably one day.

then we received versions in a totally different format, edited by the GM, which "document viewer" didn't see as editable.

"just use chrome" they said, so (sighhhh) i launched chrome just to edit my character and provide stats and backstory.

today i found out that chrome failed to save them correctly so my changes are all gone.
