I think what is happening within the USA is a bigger change than what happens internationally. It’s pretty bad, and worse than usually, but we’re kinda used to it. USA has never adhered to international law as long as I’ve followed international politics.
The BS within the country chocks me though.

The best deadlines: postponed.
Had a few days with time to play around and learn new stuff. It is great to have time to touch code that doesn’t urgently have to be done.

I enjoy.

Jeg tror min barre bliver sat lidt lavere denne gang. Hvis bare de bidrager positivt til den demokratiske debat undlader forsimplet populisme. Det er nok til at komme på min kandidatliste. Frygter dog den bliver lige så kort som din.

I recommend this video on software testing.

Short. Easily understood. Enlightening. About shoes.

I think perhaps there is a fifth desired attribute that applies to both the collection and individual tests. Descriptive. We want tests to document the overall code well, and we want failing tests to describe bugs well.

Just watched it (a bit late, I know), and what a great video!
I absolutely adore the approach, and I agree with decision to consider the test collection instead of only individual tests.

I don’t even feel good about selling games I bought (we have a strong tradition for giving stuff away at Fastaval). Not sure how I’d ever get myself to sell review copies.
But then again. If I needed the money, I’d probably do it.

So. Don’t sell unless in economic troubles? Then fine?

I’ve read it several times through the years. Especially the “be obvious” is core to how I play, and teach how to play.

Is it very different than the one on my shelf? In either case: my unreserved recommendation.

I think this a good approach in most campaign role playing games, but especially for Mythic Bastionland and with two pretty novice players this works well.
It gives a better alibi to explore the character and figure out the details later.

I framed the style of play a little bit harder than the book does. Instructing the players that we are playing stories of knights, not full characters. They might develop into full characters, but for now they are merely mythic figures. No names, just partial descriptions and actions.

And improvisation is what Mythic Bastionland is all about for me. I prepped a map, rolled a bunch of Myths and read through them quickly (and rules). Since then I have had enough in the book alone to be comfortably improvising my way through both session without stalling or relying on stereotypes.

The book sells itself as soon as you have it in your hands, so if you consider buying it, please consider buying a physical copy.

Lately we have been playing a few sessions of Mythic Bastionland (two so far), and I have notes (mostly love).

I thought everyone measured their collection in moving boxes.

(I do, but I have also reached the size where it is a burden and not a joy to have so many games, they now regularly go out (by the boxes)).

@jeremydmiller.bsky.social just found a bug for us, in how we use Wolverine. Friendly, to the point and for free.
I owe him a favor, but I’m not sure I have much to offer, so if you do, pay forward the goodwill for me ;)

Seeking?? Weekend!

The project for this seeking is baking rye bread. We have everything, but except all the ingredients.
Ok, technically we have a sour dough and water… but no flour.
Both my daughter and I are terrible at planning. But at least she had the energy to go shopping in the middle of the evening.

Recently my daughter (14) wanted a sewing machine, so we got her one for late Christmas present.
Now she asks me all kinds of advice on how to sew.
I am equal amounts flattered and terrified.

(I can kinda sew a pillow case, but not much more).

If you’re not already watching @techconnectify.bsky.social regularly. Watch this one. All of it.

An hour and a half later. Now I understand why.

Thank you for another clear (if not concise) video.

I am impressed by the American people, by their skill at community building. I love to see people get together and help each other to change minds (and love to anyone who changes their mind, it is such a hard thing to do).
Keep up the good work.

When the facts are against you, when history already proves you wrong, when you don’t have an argument for your opinion.
Reflection becomes a threat.

Considering Trump recently threatened war on us, I feel like we’re the lucky ones.
I wish we could do more for the Americans dealing with ICE, but just like the troubles everywhere else in the world I feel powerless.
Is there something we can actually do?
