Arsenal with the 0 - 0 draw at City. Pep's team is simply not at the level they were last year and Arsenal continues to grow in confidence. I'm going to be watching the City - Villa game next week with a lot of interest.

I found the Inform 7 IDE amazing when it came out, but it never fully captured my affections despite my love of text adventures in general. The main issue for me is that I7's design is almost developer hostile with a unique rules based literate programming language, single game text file, custom text editor, and no built-in version control support.

It turns out there are some really interesting developments for TADS 3 over the last couple years. There's a very featureful set of VSCode tools (including a visual map editor!) and a newer library called Adv3Lite by Eric Eve that has some pretty cool functionality out of the box.

Zags getting dominated by Texas so far. 18 - 37 at the half because Texas's defense has sped Gonzaga up and made them play completely out of sync. So disappointing from a veteran team.

Zags lose to Purdue 80 - 68. They were competitive in the first half, but in the second half our bigs couldn't cope with Zach Edey and our shooters got cold.

Was looking at my old printed TADS 2.2 manuals this afternoon and got curious what the current state of TADS 3 is. I always thought the html-tads support was pretty cool.

Finally bumped up my character count limit to 1000 for the last post and immediately hit the limit!🤦🏻♂️

Think I might start watching X-Men '97. It's coming out weekly on Disney+ so it won't take long to get caught up.

Looks like we're in the middle of a drizzly thunderstorm. Hopefully we won't have any power fluctuations before I'm done working for the day.

Even though I never trophied I quite liked the flavor and limited format for Murders at Karlov Manor. I'm pretty stoked for Outlaws at Thunder Junction as well. Generally, I'm a big fan of Wizards coming up with unique planes and alternatives to the well-trod fantasy tropes.

Pat Chun to UW on a 6-year contract as their new AD is not the news I wanted to hear today. WSU Athletics is in free fall right now and this vacancy has the potential to slow down the coaching search and really screw up Men's Basketball for next season and beyond.

Bought 10 MKM packs to bring my total to 82 this morning and then cracked them. Had a lot more success playing Quick Draft than I did Premier and will probably lean that way in the future now that packs have multiple rares and the bots can't take them all. I'm about 48 rares short of completion (280 total in the set!) and will probably just craft the remaining surveil lands and call it good.

Since I'm diving into ddev configuration again I think I'm going to give orbstack.dev a try at the same time. It's free for personal use and anything that's lighter and faster than Docker Desktop sounds appealing.

My serendipity test ddev instance inexplicably stopped functioning after no issues for the first 3 or 4 days. Stopping, starting, rebooting the Mac, and updating Docker Desktop have made no difference. Always fun to have to troubleshoot something that does a lot of behind the scenes low level server magic that I don't want to have to think about or fully understand.
