    A quick web search produced this result:

    Comments on that advice would be welcome, as would different, concrete advice, especially if a non-tech person could use it.

    TIA

    Stop treating your cyberpunk runs like a checklist of mechanical obstacles and start following the fiction to find out what your characters are actually willing to lose. Ditch the over-scripted prep and learn how to build a narrative that finally pushes back.

  21. April was rough, but these two kept me going.

    My Apple Music Replay shows 252 hours of listening this month - with Kælan Mikla as my №1 artist and Moby right behind.

    Their atmospheric, melancholic sound was exactly what I needed when things felt heavy.

    Kælan Mikla (BTW - Icelandic darkwave/post-punk) especially tracks like Sólstöður and Stjörnuljós (sorry, I had to copy the titles since I have no Icelandic layout) felt like cold northern light cutting through the fog.

    Haunting, beautiful, strangely comforting. Moby’s Natural Blues and The Sky Is Broken hit different too (like in my previous post).

    If you haven’t heard Kælan Mikla yet, start with their latest album "Undir Köldum Norðurljósum".

    I can’t recommend them enough.
    Music really does save us sometimes.

  28. A quotation from Steven Levitt

    No one is more susceptible to an experts fearmongering than a parent. Fear is in fact a major component of the act of parenting. A parent, after all, is the steward of another creature’s life, a creature who in the beginning is more helpless than the newborn of nearly any other species. This leads a lot of parents to spend a lot of their parenting energy simply being scared.

    Steven Levitt (b. 1967) American economist and author
    Freakonomics, ch. 5 “What Makes A Perfect Parent?” (2005) [with Stephen Dubner]
