I'm always trying to find non-freemium games that I like on Android. I prefer paying once for something and having the monetization decoupled from the game itself.

Anyway, Slice & Dice is a really great, fast paced dice-rolling RPG combat roguelite.

You can buy it for mac/pc/android here: https://tann.itch.io/slice-dice

It's also on the Google Play store.

There's a lot of reasons to hate living in 2022 but the fact that Twitter keeps telling me to join audio conversations like this one feels personally insulting

Ok but what did he do with it

Wow I finally found an essay by Brian McHale that unpacks my absolute favorite thing about Pynchon's "Against the Day" -- the fact that the novel, which takes place from 1893 to ~1920, travels through literary genres, synchronized in the narrative timeline with the era they were popular in our own reality.

He also pinpoints Pynchon's queering of the British spy novel, which I love (quote attached).

I've put the essay here though will take it down in a few days:

@danbruno so I never got more than a few hours into Ao but I recently cracked my Vita and realized that there is an English psp iso floating around. Look at this glorious thing

If I feel I'm not "done" with a programming task at the end of my work day, I leave myself detailed notes on what to do the next morning. Like: the next ~3 things I think I am going to need to do (update function X, run the tests, investigate function Y if the tests fail, etc). I've attached this morning's notes-to-myself.

Basically this lets me just "follow orders" at the start of my work day and ease my brain back into a place where I can start thinking at 100%

I've been getting porn spam via the medium of Google Drive document share notifications. This one makes me laugh, like, sorry but you've got the wrong guy.
