In which I accidentally fly off the map before the game starts

Just unblocked some people on Discord. I've never been good at making clear what my boundaries are, so now I'll see if I can let people know when I find their behavior uncomfortable.

Don't know why it took me to long to add this CSS for my web Discord experience:

.message-group-blocked {
display: none;
}

It always bothered me that I could click to view/unhide blocked messages, but with this they aren't shown at all.

I see "outage" but my brain keeps trying to correct it to "outrage"

I'm glad that Slack being down doesn't really affect my ability to work

A friend of mine has helped building a VN recommendation site to introduce beginners to visual novels, or to just recommend some (hopefully) new stuff to people who already like VNs as well. I tried out the recommender quiz, and it looks pretty decent! You can very easily nudge the parameters to make it recommend you things for specific genres and limit it to eg. only VNs available in English so you don't have to filter through untranslated ones.

Huh, Misskey keeps showing me a popup asking me to disable my adblocker

I thought the concept of Backstreet Girls was hilarious until one of my friends told me it mocked trans people, and I'm surprised I haven't considered this (and also am thankful to my friend for pointing that out)

Hey when I google for a tutorial, or a brief on something, know what I don't want? A YouTube video. I don't want a long, slow, ad-filled and unedited video full of ummms and uhhhhs explaining something a handful of screen shots and a few hundred words could do.

I need to stop procrastinating and finish the visual novel I'm working on. Our team wants to release in a little over a month!

Of all the candidates I've interviewed throughout my career, none of them have ever heard of fizzbuzz

I wonder if fizzbuzz is more obscure than I think

It's weird to close an interview with "Do you have any questions?" and have the interviewee say no

Alas, I can't control the actions of other people so I'm just not gonna worry about it

Watching my friends on a Discord server continue to engage with a person they find frustrating, and wondering why they don't just block them or refuse to give them attention

And over the long run, it becomes a battle between my willpower to stick to my schedule and anything that life decides to throw at me.

When I tell myself I'm shutting down my computer at 9:30, I'm not doing it just so I can sleep more. I'm doing it because I need all the energy I can get for the battles I must wage for the rest of my life.
