Ah yeah that makes sense. I'm an eternal hobbyist with different creative things (art, games, stories, etc), so I get the challenge of just finishing something.

PS feel free to send me what you've got if you want a totally impartial "beta reader" or whatever that's called

My interest only grows

yum keep em coming

I want to eat it

I mean it worked for me - I didn't buy it or play it, despite it looking pretty cool.

This is my answer as well. It's not at all because the world [building] is so compelling -- there are better (well, crunchier) books out there for that -- but the recurring characters and settings and themes, make this series a total comfort to go back to every few years. It's like a warm blanket.

I've heard really good things about this serie. It's in my "to be read" list for sure.

This could have been the case with automation. Just in my own lifetime/career, I've seen entire rooms of support staff be replaced by totally hands-off processes.

That's cool. And if it continues to be useful / enjoyable to you, then you don't necessarily need to "end" it ever, unless you really want to.

Don't try, just write in it whenever you feel like it: congratulations! You have a diary! That could be several times a day, or once a month, depending what you need and want out of your diary. But realistically if you're just starting out it will probably be diary meta, like about the writing you're doing in the diary lol.

For me I find it useful for

• jotting media reviews.
• nurturing my stationary fetish.
• an excuse to practice my cursive.
• relaxing at the end of the day, or week.
• reading over to gain insights into my moods (like how I was always sad after drinking)
• purging "negative" feelings (anger, insecurity, etc) - just get them out of my head and on to a page.

Anyway, here's an example of me just talking about Quake 2 and having trouble focusing at work:

At the end of the day, I just like making marks on the page.

Yeah if I have to turn on text wrapping to read the code, then something is seriously wrong.

Haha yeah I've seen the error of my ways.

But seriously I think it varies by use case. "Tight" languages like golang, python, ruby, or most backends (other than Java)? Going over 80 is a bit of a smell. But if we're talking about a React frontend? Then yeah, an 80 character limit is obnoxious.

Ohhh too many to count. But the one that comes to mind is Demons Souls. I play all of the Souls games, but I just not built to finish a game like that.

alright scrap the sex split, let's just break it down by household income and access to healthcare

does it... keep increasing?

Ditched centralized social media and started a personal diary

What's wrong? I mean aside from everything

I think it's just because they're old. I've got told "ok boomer" for complaining about lines of source code longer than 80 characters.

Capitalist Realism was great though, for real

fair
