#3GoodThings #ReasonsToBeCheerful

1. I got try out a new (to me) game today, 'Yield! Fall of Rome'. I received a free key from Daedelic through PressEngine, so I must disclose. I enjoyed it. It's like a mini Civ in some senses.

2. I treated myself to pizza delivery because it's so cold and I have pizza probably through Sunday. Ordered Little Caesars to be frugal. I got a BOGO deal on the Crazy Puffs. They're so cute and yummy. They're probably pretty easy to replicate at home. (Yep, tons of recipes online).

3. Rogue is finally laying in her bed again when I work or I'm in my fun office. When I say laying IN, I use the term loosely this evening.

Gray and white Pitbull wearing a pink collar sleeping partially outside a plush, round, gray dog bed with a herringbone-patterned blanket. The bed is on a wooden floor near a woven basket, a black case, a bookshelf, and a tripod with cables.

> I can go back to space opera set so far in the deep future that not even Trump can fuck it up, right?

I'm thinking the reverberations of the absolutely bonkers decisions his team is making and will continue to make for the rest of his term could result in a rogue probability wave that comes out of nowhere and overturns reality even that far in the future.

The original Rogue level algorithm picks a width for each room between 4 and 25, and a height between 4 and 7.

Ignoring "gone" rooms, that gives 22^9 * 4^9 possibilities with only a 32-bit seed. So some combinations of rooms must be impossible! How does the subspace of rooms produced by the limited seed space compare with the theoretical distribution if rnd() was really random?

Weekend project, maybe? I have been thinking ever since #RoguelikeCelebration about how small RNG seeds (or poor PRNG algorithms) limit the expressive range of PCG in ways that might be unexpected.

~2 yrs ago, when Iannucci began adapting “#DrStrangelove” for the #WestEnd, he didn’t think the 1964 movie had many direct parallels to today.

The full title of #Kubrick’s film is “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Love the #Bomb,” & it tells the story of a #USAF general who goes #rogue & orders a #nuclear strike on the #SovietUnion. In the #Pentagon’s war room, an ineffectual president ([the brilliant] #PeterSellers) dithers, blusters & flails, as he tries to avert WWIII.

As someone who enjoys the odd bit of #Regency #fiction (hello #Bridgerton and #DoctorWho #Rogue!), but who has never read any Austen, “It is a Truth Universally Acknowledged That We Shall Return Once Again to the Regency” by @natania taught me a lot and made me want to learn (and read!) more!

Fave line:
We hear the term “Regency” bandied about a great deal in historical fiction marketing, but ultimately, I’ve found it comes down to the vibes.

Uncanny MagazineIt Is a Truth Universally Acknowledged That We Shall Return Once Again to the Regency - Uncanny MagazineIt was in the year 2000, roughly two hundred years past its initial publication, that I became aware of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. The moment is crystallized in my memory: sitting in my roommate Kate’s dorm room while she fiddled with the VHS player—she had a VHS player!—to begin my indoctrination to the […]
