meow??????

I've been wracking my brain for ideas, but I keep just either coming up with stuff that isn't suitable for idris, or would take so long that I wouldn't enjoy them.

I'm feeling the allure of type systems, like an anglerfish in the depths, but I think I am wise enough to know to keep away...

I'm not even a programmer anymore, I've got no excuses I can make to spend time with it 😭

Thinking about how great the Idris programming language is.... I wish I had a project to work on with it!!

oh!!! dread delusion!!! I should play that...

Watching hermitcraft again and I am SO tempted to play minecraft now...

ooo, the latest update made a change I really like - killing an illager captain no longer forces you to have the bad omen effect (which means the next town you visit will be raided by illagers)

I always hated this because I never wanted to do a raid, but illagers spawn all the time

Instead, killing the captain now drops a potion that you can CHOOSE to drink to get the effect

I think writing out this post has made me realise that I DO want to play it, I've just been avoiding it because of the very anxiety problem that this system usually helps with.
No more avoidance! When I get up tomorrow I'm going to play ultrakill, and unlock those slots!!!

My choices seem to be:
- make myself play ultrakill. Technically this is the system working as intended, encouraging me to actually keep playing the games I enjoy.
- mark ultrakill as complete. I don't want to do this because I actually DO want to complete it and I enjoy playing the game
- modify the system to have more open slots. Slippery slope to making the system stop working
- abandon the system entirely

idk what to do

But because of the way I designed the system, with a complicated scheme of slots which become locked or unlocked under certain conditions, I now have a blockage. Before I can start playing any new games, I need to finish ultrakill. But I haven't launched the game in over a month.

A few months ago I decided I was going to make myself play more video games to completion.
(To be clear: this system considered "I don't want to play this anymore" as "completing" a game. It existed to combat an anxiety I had which was preventing me from playing the games I actually enjoyed)

And it worked! I started playing games again, and had a lot of fun, and it encouraged me to actually finish the games instead of stressing about their incompleteness

The new 4D miner snapshot for patrons is out 👀 👀
