Stay-at-home dad. Wrote about games for a while. Studied Philosophy & Cognitive Science before that.
One of the concepts I don’t think I ever encountered in school, but which seems to me extremely useful, is “shim”. We are taught about a world of 90° angles but live in a world of approximations.
Just cracked open my new 40k Leviathan box, and I should have had a plan. There’s a pile of sprues in there, I tell you what.
