Those of us who keep up with my personal stuff here probably remember that last month I underwent some cognitive testing because I was experiencing some short-term memory loss and other things that alarmed me and I wanted to at least rule out something like dementia. I passed the cognitive exams with flying colors, and an MRI did not detect anything amiss. But last week I’m pretty sure I figured out what’s probably at the root of this. It hit me, like a ton of bricks, actually, that I had pretty much checked out of everything, including things I cared about and brought me joy. #MarchMadness was beginning, for instance, and I was completely clueless. I never even folllowed my #Zags all year. There are other examples of this as well. At least I haven’t lost my interest in reading. I’m clearly going through a very rough patch of what Sarah and I call the D word, something that is always with me but I usually try to keep at bay as much as I can. I’m being proactive; I saw a psychiatrist on Thrusday and we’re exploring some potential med adjustments. It’s going to be a process. I’ll get out of this valley, I always do, but for now I’d appreciate thoughts/prayers/positive mojo. Thanks.

You can’t play to foul a guy out with 90 seconds left and a three-point deficit. You have to score. That’s the priority.

Well, both my #Zags teams are out of the Madness.

Good thing that we just started watching #Shogun and still have #tThreeBodyproblem to go, and #MountainBike season is here

RIP #Gonzaga

IMHO: America needs more immigrants, fewer bigots.

Rep. Maddock decried ‘illegal invaders' at the Detroit airport. They were college basketball players arriving for the Sweet 16. • Michigan Advance

Michigan Rep. Matt Maddock (R-Milford) has drawn scorn from across social media, including fellow legislators, after posting pictures to his X account of a plane landing at Detroit Metro Airport Wednesday night and wrongly claiming they were illegally entering the country.  “Happening right now,” wrote Maddock. “Three busses [sic] just loaded up with illegal invaders […]

I've made some more progress on #DaddyDatingGame

We're now at almost 30k words, and I need to actually code up the planner now

Because people complained about it in #ZAGS, the planner in this game will have a fully automated option, where it picks random options to execute every week so you don't have to deal with it if you don't want to

Progress!

I'd almost forgotten that there was a lewd version of the #ZAGS theme song

Apparently @tmfox had suggested lewd lyrics to me, and I wrote them up and sent them to my composer as a "haha isn't this funny?" and then a recording showed up in my inbox a short while later

Still the best bridge ever 😅​

(The lewd theme is part of the ZAGS soundtrack... I think I did a lyric video for them as an unlockable in ZAGS as well?)

I want to make another big game that's like a proper dating sim (like #ZAGS -sized)

I want the love interests to be hot daddies

I wonder if I can swing some of my current project ideas in that direction 🤔​
