First donation of the year in support of ongoing development of Typica came in this morning. It doesn't get me to any real feature or maintenance work that requires a budget but it's $50 of server bills that I don't have to pay out of my own pocket this year so that's great.

The trail of paw prints I saw this morning suggests that a cat took shelter from the snow under my porch last night.

*remembering that I own chocolate*

Shop closed early today. There's too much snow.

The cat says it's time for belly rubs.

cat: hello, you may pet me now.

More Ganyu, this time on a boat.

Some more recent Ganyu gameplay. Video description has explanations.

I seem to have become a Ganyu main. #GenshinImpact #Cocogoat

Meanwhile the cat was making sad noises at a basket of dirty laundry.

I should take some new USB cables to my mother. She has three devices that all use the same cable but tonight's tech support visit was because she didn't move the cable from the device it was plugged into and instead jammed a mini plug into the big square port and couldn't figure out why the computer couldn't see that. I have a bunch of spares that a company sent by accident and didn't want back.

Short new blog post that I wrote mainly because people keep ghosting me after asking for tech support and I'd like people to realize that they have a spam folder and maybe I'm not ignoring them. Also, pointing out that I like money and the lack of that has caused development work to slow down.

The cat is alternating between sitting on me and sitting next to me.

In case anybody was still wondering, level 90 Ganyu completely wrecks Oceanid even with meh artifacts. (I think 2P was maybe under-leveled for WL7 since they were doing <1000 damage but it's fine, they were a good decoy to give me time to aim)

There's a cat on my lap. She's warm.

Helped another player with Oceanid today. I didn't take a reward (out of resin) but they got what they needed and I got to try out Ganyu against that boss. I went with Ganyu and Qiqi, they had Lumine and Kaeya.

I've just been informed that there's a shortage of valentines chocolates in the market this year. I'm not in a chocolate giving relationship, but if any of you are, you may want to avoid waiting until the last moment this year.
