My gosh, successfully solving one of the puzzles in *Big Walk* made me cry (positive tears, to be clear). That's definitely the first time an adventure game's done that for me!

I am trying but the contrast is so hard to convey!!! Like the moon was not black at all like you see in pictures, you see different dancing greys but with the most impeccable contrast you ever seen and the golden rays leaking almost too saturated that it looks like rainbows but in only warm tones

Btw I will try to paint something accurate on how I saw the eclipse with my own eyes because I haven't seen any art or pics that get close on the shadows and the colours

PROS: omg! I got to see a yakuman in real life! And even at the table I was at! It's like I played a part in it... CONS: ...by paying the full 32,000 point cost (still very happy to have seen it though; I have another photo of this which you will have to wait for)

I'm visiting California for a few days! I'll be in Los Angeles from 18 to 23 July for SIGGRAPH 2026, then the Bay Area from 24 to 25 (and part of 26) July. Let me know if you'll be there and want to say hi!

no one wants to consider my insane pitch which is to eliminate timezones across the planet so we’re all on the exact same time and force everyone to change their conception of what a day is

That world is basically gone, but it’s still true. There are all the very valid consumer rights points and the knock-on externalities and all that. And then there’s also the fact that physical things that link humans to other humans are just better for the soul. It’s ok to mourn that!

omg, Periphery was amazing to see live! Matt has so much fun with his drum parts; it's such a joy and honestly refreshing to see him play. Also they did Wildfire!!

(also I promise I do not look this denoised in real life and know how to take pics without smudgy blown-out highlights! My main phone broke today - my guess is the heat took out the touchscreen digitizer - so this is from the cheapest replacement I could find on short notice offline. it's not good!)
