TTRPG designers, players, readers, and commentators: the new journal of RPG studies, Playtest Material, is seeking subscribers to help grow and sustain itself. PM is something special. The caliber of writing has been incredible from the start.
A serious one today. "This is a call to our readers and future readers: please, consider before scrolling away, if you think our magazine is worth £18+postage. It is not just an investment in a bundle of paper, but in meaningful critique in the ttrpg space." playtestmaterial.org/playtest-mat...

So many apps I use have devs w/ Fiddlers Disease now. Stuff randomly changes, then ope, we changed it back next release, or to a new third thing. Indie devs! You're not a megacorp full of Product Guys striving to get promoted, so there's no reason for this! You sell software to users! Get a grip!
LLM use and the bad mental habits it encourages are causing software to get buggier, but also even when software isn't outright failing, maintainers are manifesting what I have taken to calling Fiddlers Disease: rapidly changing things around (especially in the UI) with no apparent rhyme or reason.

"Musk’s meddling in the site’s algorithm to suppress certain kinds of posts and elevate others is well documented. So if your anti-fascist posts on X are still getting views, it’s either because these posts are so toothless as to escape Musk’s notice, or because they are in fact useful to him."

I’ve been training the past few months for two days of charity ride, the Courage Classic, to support Children’s Hospital Colorado. I plan to do the 42 mile/3,777ft Vail Pass and 44mi/2,392ft Keystone routes. I’ve got a ways to go before I feel ready but […] [Original post on pub.calebhearth.com]

The day after I start playing with an idea for a #cycling iOS app, I overcommit on a sprint and don’t make a curve in the path, spraining my wrist. Now I can’t bike *or* type. 😂🚴👨💻 strava.app.link/QXs4f91dcSb
Is there an app that will help with #scrobbling #vinyl records? I’d love something that: connects with Discogs and Last.fm, scrobbles a record side with a single tap, and ideally can listen for what’s playing to scribble as well. On that last point: I’... https://calebhearth.com/micro/3b5f72c1

Spent a bunch of time tonight tinkering with the idea of displaying #Obsidian tasks in a #kanban format based on status (what’s between [ ]). Probably won’t go anywhere but it’s been in my head. 🔗 https://calebhearth.com/micro/690d2cc0
Something that’s been stuck in my head for a while is the idea of doing #TTRPG play-by-post… by postcard. I’ve searched several times so not quite #lazyweb but anyone have resources on adapting games to this? Or interested? 🔗 https://calebhearth.com/micro/097a9fbb

Playing around with an idea to sync Markdown+Frontmatter with a SQLite database. In #Rust’s serde_yaml is it possible to parse the first document then get the second “document” as a string? 🔗 https://calebhearth.com/micro/cd74a6d9

Something about Christmas and spending time with my kids has me really excited about #Lego, #Nintendo, and #BoardGames. Over the Winter break I got to introduce my almost 4yo to building Lego sets and playing Mario Kart / Smash Bros. on Switch. So fun. (https://calebhearth.com/micro/b2c0d698)
