HAPPY BIRTHDAY @chordbug.bsky.social!

SCRIDDLE #29 (2⨯ - 26:53) scriddle.net?d=MDYtMDEtMj... I'll upload a video in a bit. I'm super happy with a hole in two for this.

Today's Scriddle was very fun to solve. Maaaaybe could have done it in one fewer guess but I doubt any better than that. youtu.be/u8UKORudq3I

Dentist checkup went okay. Got irradiated. Biological units do not interact.

Eh, I'm back to work soon so I want to make some progress on this... twitch.tv/clockworknet...

Going to do today's Scriddle then, if it doesn't take all night, continue Blake Manor. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

More Blake Manor... twitch.tv/clockworknet...

Scriddle continues! Fun one today, not too difficult, but one tricky rule that confused me for a while. youtu.be/Wd8pdAUdhYA

Trying to solve a problem...

SCRIDDLE #24 (5⨯ - 26:28) Solve video: youtu.be/L-R_z_wcjBc I think I was a bit slow on this one and confused myself with some counting mistakes, but I'm happy with this result. I think I'd be a fair bit quicker if I weren't trying to articulate all my thought processes.

Can you solve a puzzle without knowing the rules? For the first week of January, I'm publicly sharing the experimental beta of Scriddle - a daily puzzle where the rules are kept secret. I'd love to know how many guesses it took you to solve it. 🔴 SCRIDDLE #24 ▶️ scriddle.net?d=MDEtMDEtMj...

As most of my friends are far away or sick or staying at home for the new year, I think I shall spend the evening streaming. I'll aim to start by 8pm UK time. We'll continue with Blake Manor and see how far we get.

SCRIDDLE #23 (2⨯ - 20:07) Today's puzzle: scriddle.net My video for solving #23: youtu.be/nMeOFd6Ix-E Fun one! Easier than yesterday's, but still tricky to resolve even once you know the rules.

Going live in ten minutes with solving some Scriddle puzzles. If they go very smoothly, we might play some more Séance of Blake Manor. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

Fell behind a bit with Scriddle, but my tentative plan is to stream tomorrow (Monday) evening ~19:00 UTC and try to catch up on Scriddles 16, 17, 20 and 21. I haven't streamed any of them previously as sometimes it's just 10 minutes, but I feel like with four of them it should give us a fair stream.

This asshole is causing me so much grief. He's supposed to fold up into a 3 by 3 by 3 cube. It's not easy. In fact it's provably impossible, under what seemed like a reasonable assumption: all joints connect face to face at a 1 by 1 square. But even understanding that trick I'm struggling.

Do you want to watch me spend an hour solving today's Scriddle? No? Well. Fair. It's there if you want it. youtu.be/xpeBONZ1gis

I got home too late to receive instructions because everyone had gone to bed, and the potatoes have to be roasted by 2pm tomorrow while causing as little disruption in the kitchen at possible, so I just boiled every potato in the house and now I have Fears.

This is such slander!! I told her I would pay for Netflix if she paid for Prime! She just has a bad memory! And also I don’t even get Prime anymore because they cracked down on sharing accounts!!

I lost my Netflix account in the divorce. She just went and took it, put her card details in like she owned it. Smh.

Hmmm is this retweet merely poking gentle fun at public figure Jolyon Maugham or a polite veil over seething resentment for his support of trans rights. Urgh.

Thinking about adopting a second set of "away" pronouns like an away strip so you can can disambiguate when I'm hanging out with the other she/hers.

No RAM stored on these premises overnight.

It's the holidays and I can stay up late if I want to. Playing The Séance of Blake Manor. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

本日はクロノ・トリガーのルッカとロボ サイエンスの前に敵はないわ！ #クロノ・トリガー

Wow YouTube's automatic thumbnail picker really zeroes in on the most unflattering frames.

Scriddle #12 💀💀💀 I almost gave up. I was in the process of giving up. But I got there in the end.

My Silksong take is the difficulty is fine it's just too damn long without any satisfying stopping points along the way. That whole thing was like three games long.

I reject that "biological male" is a useful or accurate term to describe me, a trans woman, most of the time. I have a bunch of biological traits typical of both cis women (hormone profile and from that breasts and fat distribution) and cis men (deeper voice, prostate) or neither (lack of gonads).

I *thought* that something had changed. bsky.app/profile/weeb...

Christmas card progress. 30 hand-printed, of which: 3 have been hand-delivered; 6 are in the mail; 8 are ready in stamped, addressed envelopes; 9 are written; and 4 remain to be written.

I think I am going to retire "slop" from my vocabulary. I'm just not comfortable with the use of physical revulsion as a moral label, if that makes sense? It feels like it's doing some kind of moral damage to me as a speaker, and making for an unhealthy conversation.

I will respect you more if you illustrate your presentation in crayon in 30 seconds than if you include AI images. Actually you should do that, it would be awesome.

Huhhhh... I was vaguely aware I had an entry on Mobygames under my deadname but I did not expect it to tie it together with my actual name, include a post-transition photo from LinkedIn and continue using my deadname in the short bio.

Overflowing love and gratitude for the girl who made my bed this morning. (Me.)

I left my friends to die. (Also the game completely glitched out and refused to show the report card contents.)

Don't love this thing repeatedly going "oh oh oh ☝️, don't think that one scanned right 😅 *cough*😡shoplifter😡*cough*😁" And then showing a bird's eye video of me scanning and packing the item that it already acknowledged. Creepy and insulting.

I just want the stamps that don't have Charles on them. Why is that so hard. 😭😭😭

Meanwhile Robin Ince genuinely has been cancelled for daring to voice his opinions and for defending trans people. Where's the outrage from the "cancel culture" lot? What are the Free Speech Union doing to help him?

🎶There was an old lady who swallowed a bird, how absurd to swallow a bird! She swallowed the bird to catch the spider that wiggled & wriggled & jiggled inside her, she swallowed the spider to catch the fly, I don't know why she swallowed a fly, perhaps she'll die.🎶 www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-priv...

Is it okay to have a birthday party two months late?

You know if they would only install some exit signs *visible before you step off the train* I wouldn't spend so much time thinking about this.

For me one of the appeals of Puzzlescript games is they have, like, somewhere between 6 and 20 levels, and they all have their own charm and style. The idea of 1000 levels in a uniform glossy presentation leaves me feeling a bit cold.

Okay, okay, here's a more useful one.

I sketched these girls.

I tried to make a comic. I kinda ran out of steam and the ideas are undeveloped and jumbled but that's okay.
