• Really, all I want to do is move slow & fix things. Learn & build things.
  • Made brunch today - bacon, pancakes, and eggs
  • I should re-engage with some form of exercise this week
  • Thinking more about having repaired my right joy con last night
    • I'd like to learn some more SMD soldering and get better at it
    • It maybe feels a bit better today to have fixed something. Not overjoyed, but better.
  • Thinking about StaticRendering for this wiki.
    • Want to move it to notes.lmorchard.com
    • Want to get my old OPML, bucket, and kwiki notes rolled into here too maybe
  • Been meaning to play around with Godot for GameDev
  • Had a lot of vertigo & dizziness today. Kept me from doing much.
    • Maybe an inner-ear crystal thing? I tried an Epley Maneuver and it sent the room doing backflips and I got a headache.
    • I would really, really prefer not to engage in the health system during a pandemic
  • Played a bunch of Starlink: Battle for Atlas on Nintendo Switch
    • Got at a deep discount, digital deluxe edition without any of the plastic toys
    • I still kind of want a space ship toy though
  • Starlink has a game loop with an enemy hierarchy.
    • I'd had a similar idea for Parsec Patrol, though I never got far enough to making a real game
    • There's cannon fodder, minions, then small, medium, and large bosses.
    • Each level empowers the next. So, the more of each level you clear out, the less powerful the next level is.
    • There's also a bit of I guess a city sim element? Clear out bits of planets, set up infrastructure, empower your own hierarchy of power
  • Thinking about society and agreements between neighbors
    • Trying to remember this scene in Orson Scott Cards Homecoming books.
    • Ppeople would build things where other people didn't want them, and other people would just take the bricks faster than the things could get built
    • Of course, people were under the subconscious influence of an orbiting supercomputer called the Overmind, but...
    • Oh hey, I found the passages I was thinking of on Google Books.
