#3GoodThings

1. I won #Whammageddon.
2. As my sister and I swap interests (I'm learning to draw and she's studying computer science), she got me some art supplies.
3. My mom got me a couple of birdfeeders. Along with the two we have, this means we'll no longer need curtains, as the house will now be surrounded by an opaque layer of birds.

On second thought, #Violet would prefer to have her own chair. #DogsOfMastodon

#Violet (right) is visiting her friend Angus -- one of two dogs I know of who are named after the lead guitarist from AC/DC. #DogsOfMastodon

According to the splash screen for Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr, Games Workshop has trademarked the number 40,000.

1. Finished re-reading Davies' classic Go book Life and Death.
2. The ability to reschedule family holiday gathering to avoid hazardous driving.
3. Glass Onion.

@htdrake, rolling her eyes while reading another romance novel: "Oh God, and of course he smells like #$%@ing sandalwood!"

So, with the Fediverse being all open source and all, someone could conceivably create a widget that shows how many times you've tooted, displayed as a rolling mechanical counter: the mastodometer.

#3GoodThings

1. We did not, surprisingly, lose power.
2. @htdrake worked from home.
3. Reviewed my journals for the last four months.

Giving Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor - Martyr a try.

Sadly, the field for character name is two characters too narrow for "Edgelord Grimdark".

Overheard: "I'm just saying the apocalypse is going to smell FANTASTIC."

Divinity: Original Sin II certainly *looks* pretty, and I think there's a rich game in here, but I'm having trouble summoning the will to watch the hours of tutorials I'll need to go through to survive the first nontrivial combat.

I'm willing to read a rulebook for a tabletop game, but I want a video game to introduce things gradually. Let me learn by playing with the first three concepts or controls for a bit before telling me about the next forty.

Me: *deploys chips, salsa for me, and guacamole for @htdrake*

Her: I don't want guacamole. It's too early for a snack. It's 9:45 AM!

Me: Says you!
