Miscellanea for 2025-06-11

  • Hello world!
  • Why is a celebrity podcast starting a mobile phone provider?
  • Finally watching Front 242's final live show and... dang.
  • Blogging has slowed here, but I'm hoping to pick it back up.
    • It was probably a shiny-new-toy phase for the first few weeks.
    • But also, I just changed projects at work and got suddenly a lot busier. So, my time for idle rumination has vanished for now.
    • I did post a relatively big thing on AI coding last weekend, so that's pretty good though?
  • My brain suddenly demands I play Terraria.
    • This happens every few years. And when it does, I get a sudden hyperfocus rabbit hole thing that lasts a week or so and evaporates abruptly.
    • I've only ever made it past the first few bosses in the game despite playing it since release back in 2011. 💀
    • I think that's my general M.O. with games: I get to a point where I'm like "ooh novelty" and then "ah, okay, I get how it goes from here" and wander off.
    • I very rarely want grinding or more of the same thing, once I see the pattern. Until, I guess, the anti-novelty wears off and it feels novel again? (Thus the repeat visits to Terraria)
    • Sometimes I'm really jealous of folks who can just lock into a Special Interest like Terraria and just milk endless reliable dopamine from the thing.
    • Meanwhile I'm like BORED NOW and have to go hunting again.
