couldn't tell you why I did this earlier today but it was kinda fun. I approached it more like painting instead of drawing like I do normally, the thing is I'm not very good at painting lol. but folks have told me it looks cute so I think it's worth sharing, painting requires such a different thought process than drawing with lines, you don't sketch and clean up the sketch or line it, you lay down base colors and build upon them, I might play around with this some more another day.

Solovember is starting soon, but what is it?

November is Solo Table Top Appreciation month and Solovember is a month long project where people are encouraged to play, write, share, and all around just talk about single-player TTRPGS!

I'll be playing one new Solo-ttrpg I've never played before each day, but don't feel like you need to do this too! Even just one game or talking about games you like is enough!

I'll also be posting about the games here, on twitter, and on itchio.

You can read more about it HERE

You can see the playthroughs I've done from previous years HERE

buying the 2024 old farmer's almanac for ???? reasons

daily knowledge: it has recently come out that google chrome exists "only exists to serve search."

and if you consider how radically stripped down chrome's UI was compared to internet explorer and firefox at the time, this checks out.

it's essentially just a search bar with tabs. and compared to the other two, one thing that jumped out to me is chrome's lack of any RSS buttons by default. it's weird to think that there was a time when this wasn't just what every browser looked like, but when you consider how Shit the average browsing experience must have been for any tech illiterate person in 2007 (toolbars toolbars toolbars, baby!) it's incredibly easy to see how chrome gained such a huge userbase so quickly, since having just one bar that does exactly what the average person wanted it to and nothing more was revolutionary at the time it came out.
