"A Grief Fulfilled"
https://rldane.space/a-grief-fulfilled.htmlThis one felt *very* good to write.

#loss #healing #rlDaneWriting #blogme (was written out with tags and everything like a formal blog post, but started life as a blogme quick post. I'm loving this blogging workflow)
P.S., I forgot to mention that I'm trying out a new theme!! :D

I don't know if you saw it, but I adapted a shell script I use to post to the fediverse to write blog posts. That way, all I have to do is write one line which becomes the title, then folow that with n lines of text in markdown format, and it adds the timestamp and puts it in the right folder ready for me to `invoke publish` and it's off to the races. XD

This is a righteous hack, if I do say so myself.

Just FYI, my #blogme script is now up on my #codeberg:
https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/src/branch/main/blogme
It will probably get a little more added to it, but for now, it's a decent basis that you can start with if you're using Pelican. If you're not, you can still modify it to whatever markdown-based style (or any text-based blog style, really. The script doesn't handle any formatting, it just spits out the formatted header and then whatever text you add).

#blogme script update:
Haven't had a chance to upload it to my #codeberg yet (I have a bit of a backlog of changes to commit), but I decided the best way to implement the auto-uploading-and-tooting functionality would be with a secondary watcher script that runs on my raspberry pi. That way, that script can be private (as it will have things like people's usernames to include in the toot), but I can still post a sanitized version to my git repo as an example.
1/2...

Thanks! I'll post more updates on #blogme as it matures

CW: positive gaming memories and parental death memories, long post (3200+ chars)
Watching a YouTube-recommended video about how a 60+ year old woman got into #gaming, is making me wonder what multiplayer #games my #mother and I might've been playing now if she were still alive.
During my childhood she probably was the person I've played the most #videoGames with. From Tetris to card games to Super Mario Kart to Mario 64 to RPGs such as Lufia 2 and Secret of Evermore / Mana to even the occasional fighting game, even though her preference wasn't quite with those. And it wasn't just out of a supervisory point of view either; she thoroughly enjoyed playing games, and did quite a bit of it alone too.
The #MSX2 home computer or #SNES console would often be on with some puzzle, card or role playing game when I came home from school, and if either of us got stuck in some game, we'd usually find a solution together. Probably some of my best childhood memories right there.
She never quite got into PC gaming. Maybe with her dwindling eyesight it was easier to play on a TV than a monitor, or because the PC was upstairs in a bedroom that was crammed with storage stuff rather than a cosy warm livin room, or quite possibly it was the mouse + keyboard controls, or it was the games? She did like some of the PopCap games on it though, as well Puzzle Bobble / Bust-A-Move, and a bunch of flash games on the Bowland Central forums, so I'd say it's more likely a mix of the other reasons.
She passed away before I moved to Norway, so we never really had much or a reason to look into what online multiplayer games we could play together, though we did try out some free to play multiplayer game with fishing mechanics and a SNES Zelds æsthetic once; I remember another player not believing she was my mother.
If she were still alive, I think we might've ended up playing World of Warcraft together, though probably on a free third party server. I briefly played it with the missus (though she's far more dedicated to it than I was), though can't quite remember why I stopped. Probably because my subscription ended? Or due to hardware failure?
Anyway, since my mother liked RPGs, I think that WoW or Diablo 3, or something similar might've been a good fit for us.Eventually I stopped keeping up with consoles. Didn't get a PS2 till late in its cycle, and I only got a PS3 and 360 just a couple of years ago because I could get them cheap. While I do have a bunch of games for them, and have played quite a bit of some of them, I'm not as much of a console gamer anymore. Most of my gaming is on mobile with #PokémonGO, #MarioKartTour and #Ingress, and part of that is more because I played them extensively when they came out, and don't want to stop playing them because of all the time already put into them, and in part because I play them with the missus and have fond memories of actively playing them with her.
Writing this I wonder now if part of the reason that console gaming took a backseat over the years is not just lack of time and changing interests, but also or more so that I lost my gaming buddy? Games are so much better when shared... Maybe I should play some more console games again, and see if it sparks the same interest in #BeardGrabber.
Love and miss you mum.💚
