Vibe-coded small tactics game with Cursor, ChatGPT 5, Pygame. No sprites. Bot A.I. with two difficultly settings. Needs more balancing, features and levels. Did a great job. Distribution a bit of a pain. Get A.I. to port to Godot?

I have asked ChatGPT so many questions lately that I have started to feel guilty for taking up so much of its time and half expecting it to say something like: "<sigh> Seriously? I told you that like three prompts ago! How about thinking for yourself for once man. #AI #ChatGPT

Thanks @dcrainmakerblog for addressing the @Strava price increase confusion. Not a fan of this kind of sneaky subscription behavior. It made me realize I've been paying 9.99 CAD per month for features I don't really need. I cancelled.

Getting my micro-chip...er...Vaccine this afternoon. If one day I am mysteriously summoned to a room while "All Along the Watch Tower" is playing, be sure to shoot me out of an airlock.
Recently collaborated on an important E-Learning course with the great people at Health Nexus entitled "Supporting Parents When They Experience Mental Health Challenges." A much needed free resource during these stressful days. courses.beststart.org/

Doc Rivers: “My dad was a cop. I believe in good cops. We’re not trying to defund them and take all their money away. We’re trying to get them to protect us, just like they protect everybody else.”
Doc Rivers with raw emotion and a thunderbolt cry for justice: "All you hear is Donald Trump & all of them talking about fear. We're the ones getting killed. We're the ones getting shot...It's amazing, we keep loving this country, and this country does not love us back."

Well, looks like the wife and I are gearing up for another Date Month.
It sounds like they want me to congratulate them but somehow I don't think so: "Florida sets new record, adds 15,000 coronavirus cases in one day" #confusingheadlines #GlobalNews
Amen. Amen. Amen.
