I am very proud of my Newbie Class of 2023 and Rainbow Diamond Awards of #blaugust2023.

Big thanks to @belghast for organizing such a fun challenge!

It was a lot of fun challenging myself to write more and a lovely community to get into.

Well, folks... I am done with the post finally. This one took a bit longer than normal because it is Tabulation Day, which signals the end of #Blaugust2023 so this morning I talk about all of the assorted rewards and statistics from the year.

A huge thanks to @gamerlady and @magiwastaken for getting the ball rolling on both the self-reports and Magi counting all the posts ahead of me and helping me verify the numbers.

Was my #Blaugust2023 successful? For me, yes. While I didn’t post a post-a-day or have any super insightful meta posts, it did help me bring the blog back to life. And I’m going to strive to not have things sit in draft anymore. Press the publish button and let things go.

Thanks friends for all your views and @scopique for actually commenting! Huzzah!

Last day of Blaugust! So How did I go?

I was going to write a different post for the last day of #Blaugust2023... it was going to be a review of all the old 2D MMOs I used to love back in the day. I got sucked into La Tale and Dragon Saga and there went the night. #latale #dragonsaga

Neither one of those were the MMO I was trying to remember but Dragon Saga is still hella fun, although it was super empty.

Morning Folks! It is the last day of #Blaugust2023 and I do my best to set some expectations for how stressful "Tabulation Day" is going to be for me this year. I also talk a bit more about #PathOfExile and also talk a little bit about dipping my toes into #Starfield soon.

Morning Folks! I finished my Atlas of Worlds last night by cheating a bit and buying the last five unique maps from Trade. I also started a Templar with the goal of giving my Storm Brand Inquisitor from Kalandra a bit of a redemption arc. Finally, I finish up Old Man's War and talk a bit about that.

Is "I know one when I see one" enough?

If you organize events where you print badges with participant names, you should bring pangrams to be part of your design system or brand guidelines.

Otherwise you risk printing names with mismatching fonts or even worse, question marks or other weird characters and making your guests feel less welcome.

Second Life – The Hobby I Never Talk About

I talk about a lot of my hobbies, and I have a lot of them, mostly revolving around the digital realm. I have one hobby that I really never discuss, It's been one of my longest-running interests too. That's Second Life, the online virtual world. I sometimes aban

Morning Folks! I had a rather expensive day in #PathOfExile as I bankrupted myself to pick up a near perfect Brass Dome and an Elder Pseudo-Six-Link Helm to swap Fire Trap over to my chestpiece. I also picked up my first two void stones, and am enjoying hunting for cities down in Delve.

Morning Folks! This weekend my Juggernaut officially eclipsed my Raider and has taken over as my highest leveled character in the #PathOfExile #TrialsOfTheAncients league. I talk about my adventures in Delve, Heist, and the disturbing price of Rusted Sulphite Scarabs. I also talk a bit about getting back on the book adventure and starting Old Man's War.

I built a custom cookie consent solution for when I want to embed Youtube videos (and in future, other embeds that set cookies) to my blog posts.

The video embeds look nice and when clicked, will ask if user is okay with 3rd party cookies - and only if they are, I set the embed to the page.

Taking a look at my top 10 most played (non-live-service) Steam games, what I paid for them, and the cost per entertainment hour. Just for funs. And post count.

Since it's almost 100 days till #AdventOfCode, I took on a new puzzle shared by a friend.

How to combine multiple overlapping strings with each other?

I took #Python and started solving it with #TestDrivenDevelopment while writing a blog post about the progress.

It works but it's not optimized so it only solves the more complex inputs if you have unlimited time and resources.

I figured the progress is the most interesting part so I published it.
