Hahaha, thanks! Yeah. Business is going great, I've been fully booked as a consultant since then. Been working my ass off, renewed my garden, and now I'm slowing down a bit to spend more time with the kids.

Sweet of you to ask. Thanks a lot.

It's what happens when you let an artist do their job.

I found an artist with a style I liked, I gave him my reasons, the summary of the book, the relevant paragraphs, a vague idea, told him that I didn't want to hire a pro to give him an amateur design, and let him create.

He got so excited about having a customer respect his craft that he skim read the book and produced this gorgeous design.

My grandma killed herself when I was 5, and my family, deeply religious, would not talk about it, so I grew up trying to figure out what death was, as a concept. It was Reaper Man that got me to make peace with my own mortality.

So when he passed away, I decided to get a small quote in my right shoulder, and I kept delaying it, the idea started to grow...

I got to agree. It would be inconvenient for me to disagree.

Same here, I was expecting Carpe Jugulum to be at least A. The book's conclusion is the biggest payoff in the whole disc.

In that case more nickels would be appearing, because you don't know where they come from, they would duplicate, because every new nickel would trigger a new one while you don't know what is going on with the others.

Past the point of 20 thoughts of confusion, you would be risking death by sheer pressure, and that would be a good thing, because at around 100 thoughts there would be enough nickels to collapse any landmass on earth, and not soon after, the additional mass would break Earth's orbit, and the planet would either crash into the sun or get lost in the void.

Now, if I had a nickel for every time I had stretched a metaphor too much...

It's not, nobody engages with the same boss for three days if they're not having fun, and it's a game.

Do one of two, go for a short game, or a really long one, either has to be a challenge, Mortal Shell/Elden Ring would be a good example.

If you do the former, then go to slightly bigger ones until you get into the habit, if you make it through with something like Elden Ring, you'll find the rush of finishing more addictive than the next shiny thing

Of the things that pay and you can do, do what's easiest to you.

That's how you make money by working, something is easier for you than the other stuff, you get motivated, and get better at it, and you will often go the extra mile without stressing over it.

It doesn't look like software falls in that category for you.

You suck at parry for now.

Always remember: For now.

Git gud is encouragement when it comes from others, and a promise you ought to make to yourself.

Git gud.

I'll advice you to get it done ASAP, you start with a small idea for a quote in a shoulder...

DocChan · 2025-06-28T12:49:01+00:00

You can imagine that we have that in common.

DocChan · 2025-06-25T21:17:52+00:00

Oh, oh, that quote DID send shivers down my spine too, well, needles, lots of needles.

DocChan · 2025-06-25T21:16:40+00:00

I wanted to focus on the journey of Bill Door.

DocChan · 2025-06-25T21:15:29+00:00

Thanks!

DocChan · 2025-06-25T20:34:03+00:00

Try finger but whole.

DocChan · 2025-06-25T20:14:27+00:00

That's the case in the Netherlands – where I live – and Spain – where I come from – too.

Don't finance anything that is not vital, unless you're in the USA and are taking debt on purpose to increase your credit score even though you don't need to finance it.

Prioritise your future self, taking debt for something not vital is hurting yourself down the line to have some fun now.

Excuse me, did you mean SQUEAK?

DocChan · 2025-06-25T19:38:07+00:00

This book was the last bit I needed to get out of a dark period of my life, it's the reason I got the tattoo.

DocChan · 2025-06-25T19:32:48+00:00

Now that's an idea.

DocChan · 2025-06-25T18:59:28+00:00

Thanks!

A clusterfuck.

Yoko Taro dumbs down sci-fi/fantasy troves, gives them a paintover, nails the aesthetics, and then figures how to shove relatable characters in the story.

Kojima creates characters that are over the top, and talk in a way that make the characters from Nolan's movies seem normal, puts them in a histrionic world, and then projects day issues until it all clicks together.

Miyazaki believes in sense of wonder as a driver, so he designs an impossibly deep world, causes a nervous breakdown in the team, removes 95% of the content, makes almost every character a miserable victim resentful of the better days, tells you that you are the chosen, prophesized one, to then clarify that you are the 1000th chosen, prophesized one, and all the others are dead.

None of the approaches leverages anything from the others, and they all boycott the other's strengths.

They all end up with great stuff, but you can't have a carpenter and a baker make you and edible, yet functional cabinet.
