* stares at camera like I'm on The Office *
Jun. 11th, 2026 09:49 pmdhampyresaI recently had to get a new mp3 player, because my old one stopped working. As I was filling it with music, I put all of the musical Hamilton on there and took the opportunity to relisten to the whole thing in order while paying attention rather than "whatever comes up on shuffle while I'm out and about doing stuff". Overall, I don't think my opionion has changed much from a decade ago, ie: I enjoy it overall, Leslie Odom Jr is the best singer of the bunch (unfortunately, Lin-Manuel Miranda is the weakest), I wish the women got to do more than just Be Romantically And/Or Sexually Entangled With Hamilton, Lafayette's French accent sure is Something, Huh and slavery is a bit glossed over, innit? I do really like the artfulness of the lyrics -- the way the words work is really nice, idk.
Anyway, there's a line in Cabinet Battle #2 that goes "If we try to fight in every revolution in the world, we never stop" and HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The answer is very much yes.

ARGOS BEST DOG
Jun. 7th, 2026 11:49 pmdhampyresaI saw a trailer for Nolan's Odyssey before watching Project Hail Mary in theaters and at first i was fun trying to guess who each character was supposed to be, but then they showed a dog and I was like "oh so I'm not watching this movie then, ok". Just thinking about Argos is enough to make me tear up ;_;
Enjoying a game that's taking too long
Jun. 6th, 2026 09:59 pmelfThere's a solo TTRPG: Cage of Sand, "A time loop horror TTRPG for one or more players." I got it in the Racial Justice Bundle back in 2020 and promptly ignored it for several years (like most of the 12,000+ games I've picked up in game bundles).
Recently, I picked up a tarot deck specifically for solo TTRPGs: the Calandra Tarot (it's pretty but not one I'd want to use for divination), and went looking through my archives for a tarot-based solo game that wasn't a hack of Anamnesis. Not that there's anything wrong with Anamnesis - I like it very much; I've tried it; I've made my own hack of it. But I wanted to try something else, and after some sorting of the Big Spreadsheet o Game Bundles, I found this one.
( So I decided to try it )

Urgh
Jun. 6th, 2026 10:21 pmdhampyresaI hate how DNFing a book means I stop reading/wanting to read for some time afterwards. Like. What's up with that?! Just because one book is bad doesn't mean all books (or even comics) are bad. That's not how that works! That's not how any of this works!

AI is not coming for my job
Jun. 5th, 2026 09:05 amelfA friend asked me if I worked in an office (yes) and warned me that AI is probably coming from my job.
I told him no, I am very not worried:
1) I have a union, and
2) My company works with a lot of confidential personal info that needs careful handling, and
3) AI cannot do my job.
AI cannot even attempt to do my job.
I do document formatting & processing, and while I'm sure there are AI advocates who think they can have AI do that, it's because they've never done those.

C'est beau Paris la nuit
Jun. 5th, 2026 02:28 amdhampyresaI was out with a friend and we were talking so long I missed the last métro home. So I went back on foot, which took around 90mn and was quite lovely. I only had to check a map thrice, on account of my brilliant strategy of "follow Seine to [Landmark], know how to get home from [Landmark]". Idk why I'm feeling so proud of navigating a city I've lived in my whole life, but I do.

DNF: The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow
Jun. 3rd, 2026 10:24 pmdhampyresaThe problem with this book is that I'm French.
Alix E. Harrow's The Everlasting is a novel about deconstructing a country's founding myth. Said myth is inspired by Arthuriana and, especially, Joan of Arc. I'm not against Joan of Arc motifs (hell, it's one of the things I love about Margaret Rogerson's Vespertine). I am also pro deconstructing founding myths! Including French founding myths, including Joan of Arc.
However.
However, I think if you're going to be deconstructing a country's myths it should be your own country. Whether its because the book is in English or the author is USAmerican or the fictional country is England-coded (the main narrator so far (25%) is called "Owen Mallory") or a combination but this feels particularly disrespectful. Leave Jeanne alone and go bother George Washington or something.

Beta in Perspective
Jun. 3rd, 2026 08:44 amfoxinthestarsToday in "my anxiety is so much better these days":
I've found a couple of beta readers for my honzuki fanfics, and it struck me that when I get a suggestion, the question is not "how did I screw this up?" so much as "am I willing to take responsibility for doing this my way?" (The answer to the latter is frequently a clear, not-too-dramatic "yes.")
It's still kinda stressful, tho, not gonna lie.
And of course in a professional editing context it would be different, but that's not what I'm doing as of now.

Project Last Chance
Jun. 2nd, 2026 11:40 pmdhampyresaI saw the Project Hail Mary movie and I really enjoyed it. Stupid power of friendship (and science), making me cry.
There's a line at one point about Grace's former girlfriend now being with someone named Mark, and in my head it's Mark "The Martian" Watney because that would be fucking hilarious.
