Vicious Rumor: Animal Crossing Country… coming soon. An open world, multi-player game leveraging elements from AC’s past history and the new S2 tech (4K/60fps) and mouse-control options. #nintendo #animalcrossing

Hm. Another Animal Crossing patch on the S2 today? I don’t see anything obvious, change wise. #nintendo #ac

Arguing with someone who has made up their mind is like playing Russian Roulette because you think it’s fun. #life #failure

Nintendo Switch (2) notifications are pretty useless. There is no way to see past/missed ones and they stay on-screen too short of a time to see them. #nintendo #failure

I burnt the soles of my feet going out getting the mail. It’s hot today.

You don’t need to be a good writer to be famous. You don’t need to be famous to be a good writer. #writing

“I hate it. There is always something.” “If there is always something, why are you complaining?” “I complain about everything.” #writing #character

Would you like to be laid off from your job? Do you love your job that much, or do you just love the apparent security and the money you make? #life

“I hate the person next door.” “Why don’t you move?” “I don’t hate him all that much.” There are things we dislike, but not enough to do something other than complain about them. #life

The only power that power has, is its ability to grow by exercising itself. #life #power #failure

I need to start booking my vacation(s).

A major UX problem with the new iPadOS multitasking is when swiping up you occasionally hit the new resize “widget” rather than returning to the underlying screen. #ux #apple #ipados #failure

Apple’s “Spatial Scenes” in the Photos app, is ok. But it’s just a flat image overlaid on another flat image. Not really parallax, but interesting. AI (Apple’s and others) is still limited and stupid. #ai #apple #photo #failure

The Gathering: Mote’s kittens are almost 6 weeks old now and very active. Mote has started looking for time away from them. I’ve named 3 of the 6. Bit is the one that greets me every day. Byte is its buddy. Scamp is skittish. No names for the others two. #feral #kitten

Serious question: I need a Pages RELATIVE link to another file that can suvvive an export to PDF that can be moved to another device along with the external file in the same relative location. I don’t think it’s possible, since creating a Pages link to another file is a process. #pdf #pages #apple

I think the universe has a sense of humor. Yesterday, I dropped my Switch OLED and broke a JoyCon. This shortly after receiving the Switch 2. It’s as if hardware feels neglect. Or I’m just clumsy. #nintendo #life

I’m planning Coins of Destiny 3, and I’m really giving my protagonist, Rachael, a difficult time. I’m doing research on PTSD. #book #planning #research

I’m anxiously awaiting the cover design for “The Cat and The Warlock”. It’s been a while. #book #publishing
