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)

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.

When a book sponsor requests anonymity in their credits, I often use their initials instead. They show as "Anonymous JS" or "Anonymous FJ." They know, I know, nobody else knows. Fine.

The appearance of "Anonymous AF" is making me rethink this policy...

In China it's very common for people in business to give themselves a western name to make it easier to deal with foreigners who don't know how to say Chinese names. That's often a very common name, but today I got spam from someone who chose to go with Sauron, which might be close to their given name but probably isn't the spelling they should go with.

I don't know much about making video games, but what I do know is that floors are surprisingly difficult to get right.

Dog: Am I a good dog? Will you pet me? Can I have a treat?
Girl: You're a good dog, but the game developers won't let me pet you or give you a treat.
