We can also observe that the void tiles got un-loraxxed. Tough but fair.

As friend recently said: "The whole game has a Dune-like quality. Bronze would fit better." I think I agree. At least, the red needed to be toned down.

New Sneaky Town tiles printing soon. I like how they all look on the page.

pretty fresh QR code honestly. I'd scan.

Day 12:

Chapman's story for reference: meaningness.substack.com/p/fake-fatigue…

In December of 2024 I had mono, a disease which upended my life and caused me fatigue issues that plague me to this day. Last week I had another minor crash.

@kai_geffen Looks great!

🌌 Finished up cardbacks, layered and implemented the new card borders, played with some weird things to do with them (see below) Still look pretty bad mostly due to rendering settings and fonts, but the idea is there and layered cards are implemented.

@cxs1729 It's so nice! This was my first time in the arboretum, and was psyched that I could link it to the other two nearby parks (interlaken / volunteer)

@dnsosebee Getting to run that trail is practically cheating, it's so scenic.

@br___ian Awesome! I'll dm you

@dnsosebee Hell yeah! If you wanna chat about it sometime also, hmu

New essay on that site Over There, creating a theoretical scale to talk about what it would mean for a phone to care about you Will link in following tweet, but I had chat summarize it in this image if you want the TLDR

@br___ian I'm very on board with this, interested in writing about similar things soon (along with my health stuff). Recently came across these design sketches from Forethought that touch on similar ideas: #aligned-recommender-systems" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">forethought.org/research/desig…

To add more context, as this post is getting a lot of views: Leading up to this 6.6 mile run I had already resumed running and climbing regularly. My runs until this point has been in the 2-3 miles range, and always included some walking (as did the run above). So: this run was a big achievement, as was the week of activity that followed, but - none of it defies expectations of a normal optimistic progression back towards physical health (especially considering that I was a runner and a climber before the illness). The point is: What is special here is that I proved to myself that a particular case of fatigue I was experiencing turned out to be inconsequential, and I proved that I can proceed at a normal and even optimistic rate of recovery, which had previously seemed unlikely due to all the symptoms I would feel around exercising. I did not magically get back to normal physical health, I had already put in a lot of gradual work over the preceding months (walking, daily yoga, gradual introduction to running and climbing). For all of the relevant context, please read the post itself, which goes through my recent health history, especially as it pertains to exercise.

Also, this is all as of 11 days ago. I'm still feeling good, and optimistic, but the real test will be whether I can maintain this in weeks to come. I will post updates on my blog as time progresses.

This feels very similar to the best ways that I know to recover from the nervous system sensitization that I get. I don't have long COVID but my nervous system perpetually contracts its window of tolerance until I can't handle a lot of normal things.

file under "Rhymes with John Sarno" (Under some conditions, some people recover by just "pretending they're not sick." How many? What conditions? Idk but it's fascinating)

@AlexKrusz Cool! I can believe that there are shared mechanisms behind many of these things, and it's great to hear that you've seen success using similar methods.
