Made these gluten free pesto buns for dinner tonight! Getting the gist of this whole gluten free baking thing, I think 🙏

For a while I kept complaining about silly cool things not happening around me, but now that I have a lot more free time I’m trying to make some of those happen. First two: a fighting game tournament with only obnoxious fighting games from retro consoles and a Powerpoint party (where everyone has to prepare a presentation about a fun topic and present to the group). Even got a cheap second hand projector to make the two “events” more fun :)

hanging out with the people in my book club restores my faith in humanity a tiny bit every time

I spent a non-negligible amount of time this week working on a contribution for an open source project. Wrote a very detailed PR message explaining the contribution, as well as the shortcomings and how we could work to fix them. Was feeling great... until I got a short rude reply.

If you see someone put a lot of effort into something, why would your first reaction be trying to shut them down instead of engaging positively and with curiosity and trying to help them succeed? I was interested in spending more time contributing to the project, but that was a big turn off.

What is the most obnoxious fighting game you’ve ever played? I’m having a tournament to celebrate my birthday and I want to level the field by picking a game so bad no one can be too good at it 🤡 Bonus points if it’s for the Sega Genesis or Saturn (Dreamcast also, I’d have to buy another controller)
