    Why do those little pieces of skin keep sticking up next to my fingernails. (Not cuticles / hangnails, the skin next to the nails)

    EBay deals and thrifting. I can spend hours just looking at different things, seeing how much of a deal it is and not buying it

    Simulation theory.

    It’s like every few months developments happen that makes it even harder to ignore.

    I need desktop / homescreen wallpaper that is minimalist enough to not be distracting and yet is more complex than a flat color or gradient. And a single one in place will bug me after a time, so I borrowed a bunch of powerpoint tech backdrops.

    This year, mostly GURPS. It’s such a delightfully comprehensive TTRPG. If you can think of it, you can do it, and odds are that unless you’re thinking of something really out there, it’s explicitly outlined in one of the source books. Even if it is really out there, you can probably find several forum posts outlining several ways to run the mechanics.

    It’s not a perfect reality simulator, but it’s good enough for me.

      Fans of GURPS, or anyone looking to hear it in action should check out the podcast “the film reroll” (if you haven’t already). They play through films as RPGs using GURPS and it’s fantastic! They even had the creator of GURPS on once as one of many people playing Leonard in Momento. Also, there are absolutely no adverts.

        Mhmm! They had to invent it because Steve Jackson Games wasn’t terribly keen on the level of violence in Fallout.

        Another fun fact, their 3e Cyberpunk supplement was so convincing that they got raided by the US Secret Service under suspicion of cyber terrorism.

    Boxes. I love boxes. Like old metal ones or decorative stash boxes. Crazy about boxes. Nice ones though. no cardboard.

    This week? AdGuard Home to block ads network-wide. Optimizing it so I can compare it to my Pi-Hole to see which I prefer. We’ll see what obsession next week holds.

    Where my ADHD homies at?

    Renovating my home is a hobby of mine, but I can’t stand tiny imperfections like walls that aren’t perfectly smooth, surfaces that aren’t exactly level, and mail-order furniture which isn’t quite the same color as it was in the pictures. Usually I can get things just right eventually, but sometimes I have to recognize that doing that would be crazy (i.e. it would require spending tens of thousands of dollars to demolish and rebuild something which everyone else tells me already looks great) and then I get really upset, give up in the middle of the renovation project, and never finish it.

    In the winter, tinkering with my magic decks, or becoming obsessed with a video game if one grabs me.

    In the summer, riding my longboard long distances.
