Damn this hits. I’m trying to change it up, but I’m far on the right. constantly greasing the pipeline and writing about it. or lately just not writing at all.

Heart of Mycelium - Gameplay Trailer - YouTube

I really like the art style of this game. Love that someone is making something Hollow Knight like in their own style. The bosses though… oddly a little close to hollow knight characters.

The Truth About Turning Your Hobby Into a Job

Interesting tangent here on sleep, Adam talks about jet lag and his experience taking abien to shift his sleep schedule. In his experience it helped fix the sleep schedule, but did nothing to change how he actually felt during that time of re orienting in a new drastically different time zone. He was reminded of all of the sleep studies they did on mythbusters and how they found that it did not matter so much how much “sleep” you got that lying there still and quiet was nearly as effective as sleeping. Knowing this will, like others mentioned, will greatly relieve the sleep pressure I feel on nights of restlessness.

Every Dax Raad interview is worth a listen, this one does not disappoint. They talk about running local dev setups in a vm in the cloud. Always connected, seemlessly upgrading hardware without you needing to buy sell or trade a thing. They talk about the one model that drove them into psycosis, I’m pretty sure it was 5.6 sol, but it could not be revealed at the time. Software engineering is still required alive and well even through the agentic era here.

Apparently you can use a reset to completely reset your codex usage limits. I
never knew these existed and apparently I have some expiring soon. Not sure if
they auto apply and this is why I get the weirdest reset experience on the
usage chart or what.
