I have almost 200 hours in Hello Kitty: Island Adventure now, and my wife gifted me the first DLC for it: Wheatflour Wonderland in December. I’ve already written some tips about HKIA in general, but also wanted to put down my thoughts about the DLC. My verdict is: Save your money. Don’t buy it, buy it on a steep...
img { display: inline-block; } rose Enjoying so much snow :) has been amazing to see. It hasn't snowed this often or much in the last few years, if not a decade; at least that's what it feels like to me. Going on weekly walks with my wife has been fun and gives room for so many amazing talks we'd otherwise not have...
Came across a response by Randomly Short today. Appreciate the reply, and I thought I'd go more in-depth about some of it. The author writes: "Unfortunately that type of work is not what free plans are designed to do. That type of work would honestly be considered something a professional would be doing. Pay for a...
For this month's Bearblog Carnival topic by Moose, I'll talk about how I assess my infection risk! A little while ago, I wrote "yes, i still wear a mask". In it, I laid out what thought goes into wearing it, why I do it, and when I don't. No one can completely isolate themselves forever and live in a virus-free...
Just wanted to give my 2 cents to a post by Yunzi. For posterity and because it's short, here is the post content: Did a search on Bear for 5 of my interests. One of which is my other blog. 4 returned nothing. 1 returned a single other blog - which in fairness is pretty good (no not mine). So is the search working,...
You have to learn when a hobby or interest is truly detrimental or if it has just been demonized by the productivity cult. Sometimes people lament that all day they spend time on things they enjoy, but somehow it’s… bad? I understand that you have to rip yourself away from some enjoyable things for other...
Currently thinking about how using AI will just increasingly become even more of a class/privilege thing than it already is. We've already established that different groups and areas around the world get access to models differently, but one puzzle piece in the AI discourse is obviously money. If I have the money...
Last year, I tried out turning my private knowledge base public. I wanted parts of my Obsidian vault on a website to show my growth and knowledge in a space. It was intended less for evolving opinions over the years like a casual digital garden blog, and more like study notes that will forever get edited and...
Some time during my on-going law degree, we had an assignment on a slightly altered case based on a real one, had to develop an opinion, and defend it convincingly. After the main part of the assignment was done, we we were divided into break-out sessions to discuss that process and how we came to our conclusions -...
Sometimes, I think about the fact that society at large could just stop caring about data protection and privacy, and there goes everything that I worked towards and am passionate about. Humbling. These laws are young. Not that people didn’t want privacy before, it’s just that as more data was collected, recorded...
