love my playdate as an "offline" distraction, but find myself reaching for it less and less

I am hoping to not constantly be like "I could have played this on my phone".

Although I can't exactly say I have great faith in mobile game developers.

I have played a good amount of games where the crank was essential for gameplay. and many of the games themselvs are fun. but i feel like i need to be some kinda monkish stoic to sit and *enjoy* a prolonged session on playdate

oh man, I've always wanted a Panic Playdate! I heard that Teenage Engineering helped with the design.

And that's the end of the visit! A little abrupt, but I'll give more insight in my news post sometime later this week.

Work has been kicking my butt lately! Comic is probably not this week, but at least one more before the end of the month, along with a News Post!

I know Three Kingdoms is a beloved classic and I still love it but my god this latest round of chapters was a huge mess.

A two-chapter update of Pride & Prejudice that is small on paper but huge in drama.

You know, I've never thought of this till now, but I wonder if Darcy's letter isn't a bit of wish-fulfillment for socially awkward writer types. In real life, does writing someone a long email or letter ever actually work? 🤔 Yes, the letter serves the purpose of a plot dump, but I wonder if it isn't a bit of fantasy on Austen's part as well.

skep 6 months ago

I agree that would be very on-brand for Austen. My biggest counter is that Darcy's only purpose in writing this letter is seemingly to clear up some confusion. He doesn't defend or apologize for his behavior outside of these two points, and I doubt he actually expects to see Elizabeth ever again.

So (spoilers!) it's hard to say that "fix things" was an intentional goal; but on the other hand, while Darcy doesn't know where the story is going, Austen certainly does.

That is true. Neither Elizabeth nor Darcy make a move towards each other after she leaves Rosings. I just wish life were so easy that you could just clear up a misunderstanding by writing a letter to someone. God knows I've tried...

I dunno, I feel like if you put in the effort to constructively lay out your feelings you should at least get some points for it.

I travelled to Manhattan this past week. I spotted wild bread (and a chicken bone) as I left my hotel one night. "I'll take a photo when I get back," I said. But when I returned, all had vanished.

I'm a little mad at myself, but I needed the reminder that much of wild bread's beauty is in its ephemeral, transitory nature.

One of the real beautiful things is that we can share this story (Its these stories that truly motivate my work and give me joy). Wild bread is indeed ephemeral but its audience seems ever-passionate. Congrats on catching a glimpse of bread in your own wild.
