    Mostly weight training. My favorite store is going out of business, which sucks, but at least I got a lot of protein on closeout so I’ve had a better bulking session than usual 🥲

    Trying to read more too, but it’s hard, because most of my downtime is during meals, and I don’t like to have food near library books. I think I’ve only hit something like 80 pages in 7 days.

      You could also look for magazines separately If you are interested in Arduino or microcontrollers and projects, for example, there are certainly a few good ones where you can always learn something new. Or another area that interests you. The length of the articles is actually perfect for reading while eating. The price is also not comparable with books so it wouldn’t be so bad.

        Thanks! I’m mostly interested in fiction right now but the wait for ebooks at my library is long 🥲 I know there are magazines that publish short stories so I’ll look into that!

    I too just finished a ttrpg game. We’re playing Pathfinder 2e, but today was our last session of the campaign. My character and another died during the big boss fight but what the remaining two characters did was so beautiful, so now I’m weepy and sad in a bittersweet way.

    researching how to generate art with a computer quickly in text form (pbm) and save it in a better format (webp/png/jpg):

    This is what I landed on, using the magick command, my_program outputs to stdout, magick reads from stdin using the -:

    my_program | magick - output.webp
    

    https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php

    I plan to use this in further weeks to draw rectangles, circles and other things in different configurations on bitmaps using only integer-based math.

    Finished God of War (2018) and now starting Ragnarok.

    I was skeptical at first since I played all the OG GoW titles including PSP back in the day, will I like this new Kratos ?

    And boy (heh) what a ride. I knew the gameplay would be fun at least combat wise, but I didn’t expect having someone to accompany Kratos would be this entertaining.

    Though IMO ‘evil’ Atreus arc feels too short, he just saw his bad deed once and somehow because Brokk and Sindri made up he is also good now.

    Overall it’s a blast and I can’t wait to see what they’d do in Ragnarok.

    Just finished playing a DnD game a couple hours ago where I lived out my wildly unrealistic fantasies of being able afford basic necessities. Truly an incredible game.
