A personal philosophy, riffed from Daniel Pinkwater's "Big Orange Splot":

New York City is me and I am it. My city is where I like to be; I hope I can make it look like all my dreams.

If you ever wanted a framework for understanding wine, try @phildini's! https://ajuicebox.com/2019/05/24/how-to-taste-wine/ These are my notes trying an Albariño at a fancy seafood place in Seattle.

Albarino [sp] Idilico
Swirl ✔
Sniff: peach? lime? floral??
Taste 1: mineral, "sparkle" hit | mellows quick | sweet/tart
Taste 2: much smoother now | still tart | heavy?!
Taste 3: I do like it!
Hard to tell color in this light. Lighter, not greened.

I am very tired and very ready to go to Seattle for my first real vacation in a while. I'm going to collapse on the plane and sleep through as much of the flight as possible; just gotta be awake enough to board when called.

Now I am curious if any oulipo.social accounts identify with pronouns similar to my own, and how that handling works.

@rjl20 ? Anyone else?

Today is a special #roguelike day!

Since it is both Friday the 13th and a full moon, the good and bad luck cancels out which makes it safe to play #Nethack!

hat tip @0xabad1dea (who doesn't seem to be using that account, so really @0xabad1dea@twitter, but who's counting?)

The version of me who has copious amounts of free time would be writing a sprawling Ali/Warden/Leli V-to-triad fanfic with lots of sexy scenes, everyone defending each other, and intense declarations of personal loyalty in the middle of crisis.

okay yes, my personal poly V fell apart recently and I've been playing partly to cope.

I am not that person with copious amounts of free time, sadly. Might write what I can of it to cope anyway though.

I played AFAB Human Noble (headcanoned NB), romanced Alistair but had a brief moment where it looked like threading the needle and dating both him and Leliana was possible, made him king and my Warden queen, let everyone else wander their separate ways.

I like this Warden but I'm so curious about the other origins and romances! I'm less interested in Awakening or some of the other endings, but I probably will eventually, and get through DA2 to play Inquisition.

So last night I finished playing through DAO for the first time.

I like the companions, so there will probably be other times. It's been a long time since I've felt this way about a plotty game I've finished this soon!

Despite being spoiled for it and it making for a "good" ending, the decision to have Alistair do the Dark Ritual hit hard, which surprised me! (Is it just me or did he look visually haggard in his speech right before the Battle of Denerim?)

Hi! I'm visiting friends and presenting at a small video game convention (Roguelike Celebration: http://roguelike.club ) It's my third time in San Francisco and I'm excited to go! (My mom and dad are Filipino; I want to learn Tagalog, but it's hard. I hope I did okay with it! 😀
)

Kumusta! Dadalaw ako sa mga kaibigan ko, at sasalita ako nasa "Roguelike Celebration". Ito ang pangtatlo kong pagbisita sa San Francisco; nasasabik ako! (Ang aking inay at tatay ay Pilipino; gusto kong matuto ng Tagalog, pero mahirap. Sana iyong maintindihan! 😀 )

Today's accomplishment: with the help of a bunch of grammar references, Google Translate, and squinting at my Language Drops collection, I've written a few sentences in #Tagalog to a stranger!

I've been trying to learn, very slowly, since May.

The stranger in question is my AirBNB host for my upcoming stay in San Francisco, who is bilingual. (I also included the English translation of what I intended to say, of course.)
