What I am up to as of… 19 April 2021

Posted on 19/04/2021

I’m back in the office everyday of the week now. It’s been strange losing all that time commuting again.

I’ve been really interested in reading the rules of indie/solo Tabletop RPG on itchio.io
I’d been watching Estate of Affairs, a live stream of a Good Society tabletop RPG
I’ve also been prepping for an Apocalypse World 2nd Edition game that I’ll be hosting in a month or so – I’ve only ever DM’ed once (and for a Vampire the Masquerade game) so this is all new to me

I’ve been really getting into Obsidian and haven’t been using my pen and paper as much lately

Haikyu (this brought back memories of when I was in my high school volleyball team)
My Hero Academia
Fruits Basket (I’ve never actually finished it, but friends kept nagging me to try it, so I did. It’s a strangely paced show.)
Heaven Official’s Blessings
The Way of the Househusband
Salvation (Don’t watch it, it spirals out of control and is full of really stupid characters)
Tale of the Nine Tailed
Death Note (animated series – apparently I’ve never watched this version; I’ve only ever watched the live-action movies)

Yes, I’ve been on an anime binge lately

I was trying out Git versioning for Obsidian and accidentally deleted my entire vault.

Thank god for Time Machine Backups.

A 5-day level 4 lockdown starting 11:59pm tonight. There goes my Valentines and Chinese New Year plans.

(Level 4 lockdown: No leaving the house unless it’s essential and even then no travel further than 5km)

Was at a 24-hour arcade the other night and won two skill tester plushies.

I’ve been reading the rules for a few different solo tabletop RPGs and will probably write something about it if I get a chance to play them
Micro Chapbook RPG
Ironsworn
I’m also reading Lynda Barry’s “Syllabus”, a book that talks about writing, drawing and how you “see” the world. It’s a chaotic book (in a good way) and I’m trying to work my way through it.
For quite a while now I’ve been having an issue with my Apple Photos where the thumbnails don’t match the actual photos. I’m now at the point where I’m exporting and importing all my photos into a new photo library to see if that would fix it. To check, I need to scroll through every photo in Individual view and check the thumbnail at the bottom of the screen to make sure they match – 23K photos is a lot of images to scroll through…
