@Chel @DragonessDella@octodon.social @seylerius @Bisexuhell@snouts.online yesss, let's all join in! together! :D
the majority of my programming projects that are most "worth doing" actually have pretty substantial amounts of tedium and burn-out inducing grinds associated with them
it's a bit counter-intuitive, but i've found that this is often the case for problems that need solving. the reason some "simple" problems are still unsolved is because the problem's simplicity hides an arduous journey.
@Bisexuhell@snouts.online @DragonessDella@octodon.social @Chel tbh it's worth it, like seriously worth it from a content perspective
consider - it had over 800,000 words before they even finished adding in all the content. this is just about twice as much as the word count of sunless sea and the zubmariner expansion together.

@Chel @DragonessDella@octodon.social @Bisexuhell@snouts.online actually yeah, Sunless Skies is Art

Dr. Patricia Bath (Born 1942) Dr. Bath is an ophthalmologist, and the first African-American woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical purpose. In 1981 she received a patent for the Laserphaco Probe, which is used to treat cataracts. Dr. Bath’s laser probe made cataract surgery faster and more accurate, and she has been credited with saving thousands of people from losing their sight. She now holds 4 patents. #BlackHistoryMonth

Seattle BBQ, ranked, in my opinion
