Now that have unified the “essay” (long-form) and “micro” (short-form) content here, I’ve been thinking how I want to handle the syndication aspect. The easiest option is service pipe on the RSS feed (EchoFeed, n8n, etc) but you give up a degree of control or one-size-fits-all unless you divide up your blog into multiple RSS feeds depending on the content. I’m thinking now that having a set of scripts that act on the markdown of the post instead might be a better. By way of an example, this “meta discussion” post doesn’t make sense syndicated to Mastodon & Bluesky and would be tedious to mask from a pipe service.
Improved Persona-esque mechanics with a more complex and flexible combat/upgrade system. The story didn’t quite resonate with me (felt very one note) and while the OST is good, it’s not Persona.

An immense visual spectacle, banger OST, and a story that felt like it could have used two more episodes. I’m not complaining! They took their time and delivered on the promise of season 1.

I’ve wanted forever to unify my blog with both long form (essays) and short form (micro posts). And I think I’ve finally managed to pull it off in a way I’m happy with (not perfect mind you, but satisfactory). Will need to figure out the cross-posting bit and a more pleasant publishing step, but having them unified removes a mental hurdle I always had when writing.
Masterpiece! I can’t believe I’m so late to this… This is everything I could ever want in a show. The music is out of this world, the voice acting is better than most Broadway A-list shows, the art is pitch perfect! Now, to dive into Helluva Boss.

Unfortunately, there is one aspect of Zen/Firefox that doesn’t look to be configurable (that will probably be a deal breaker without a lot of retraining my brain) – The Location Bar won’t autocomplete to browsing history first ahead of executing a search for the string in the field. Example: If I’ve been to espn.com, in Arc if I type “es” then the first thing that matches is the history entry and I can just type “es↩” and go. In Firefox, the default first entry is to execute a search for the string “es” and the second entry is “espn.com” if I’m lucky (requiring “es↓↩”). It doesn’t look like this behavior is configurable either.
As a precautionary measure, running an experiment with Zen Browser as an Arc replacement. Given a bit of customization, I was fairly happy with the result. The recent Arc updates are essentially Chromium upgrades which really isn’t surprising given the company’s pivot to Dia (a new AI focused browser). Definitely not for me, so I’m glad Zen is at a point where I can drop it in.
Doga Kobo is on an absolute tear. While this season may not have the punch of the first (and I missed the OP & ED) I loved every aspect (and very glad I waited until the end of the season to binge it)

Took out my trumpet to record a bit. Can only do about 15 minutes before lips get too tired, but was nice to get it oiled up and making sound again. Still frustrated that I can’t seem to find my SM57s after the remodel. Was holding off on getting new mics thinking they might turn up, but no dice.
None of the charm of Dungeon but with all the production values (trailed off at the end - You could tell they ran out of money in the last third as every action shot was matched with one or two stills) The discrimination conflict just isn’t believable and is far too repetitive.
