Started playing Cultist Simulator a couple of days ago.

There isn't real #occult lore or cults, but the process of seeking mystical knowledge and unravelling how to cast magic are achingly similar to real #mysticism.

So, definitely worth a glance if you like puzzle games or are wondering if a life as a metaphysical explorer is for you.

Lessons from Mordor.

@dredmorbius @starbreaker I'm not currently producing a book, but I love Markdown for clarity. Still, I generally prefer an editor where I can click a button or use an easy keyboard shortcut to insert the basic code for links or images.

I can definitely see using asciidoc/asciidoctor for the ebooks I have planned.

@starbreaker Excellent--I'm a fan of her work (not just Kushiel). Good to know.

The internet is just a big pile of shit!

The top serps (search engine results) for just about any health question you can think of all lead to sites that exist solely to get your clicks. They utilize no medical professionals whatsoever. The content is either spun by algorithms or purely anecdotal.

This is NOT what the internet was supposed to be. Thanks a lot, Google...

@dredmorbius @starbreaker

I'm very happy, at this point, with combining Markdown, Pandoc and Weasyprint.

There are full-stack software engineer positions and then there are "We want a programmer, a designer, and a project manager for the cost of one salary" "full"-"stack" positions.

Job descriptions like the latter are why unions push for very narrow job duties: Because employers are incentivized to push all the responsibilities that they can onto employees.
