praying for an architectural and creative renaissance. give me colours, give me maximalism, instead of dull, grey boring brutalist architecture and watered down micro-drama & shorts

laughed at my sister for tearing while playing road to empress fmv, until i got to the monk & princess subplot!!! like what is this, my eyes are watery. and this is the kind of walking dead / marvel avengers timeline conundrum where it explores free will and determinism through game storytelling, like what do you mean all my choices doesn't matter because the fate of certain characters have been determined and one timeline is already determined. no, i resist!!!

my toxic trait is i want to become rich enough to buy a vacation home with a yacht dock

today i learned that weiqi is quite egalitarian. white gets +6.5 on 13×13 to cancel black’s first-mover edge. w/o this compensation, stats and ai self play shows black would win about 53% of games so the komi nudges odds back to 50/50.

my old people hobby: attending weiqi beginner class

this cycle is rekt. the alt season never really took off unlike other cycles because alts kept bleeding against BTC and structural factors (ETF money, risk-off sentiment) limited new retail capital. projects were forced into extractive TGE & tokenomic models as the only viable PMF strategy, which further scared away remaining retail, creating a death spiral. the only exception were hyperliquid and pendle? they had genuine product utility and/or narrative strength.

finally found a girl's cheat code in life: having lash extensions = there's no need for makeup because ppl think you're wearing makeup with the lashes on

after the longest book slump (see work, life and five thousand other things), i finally surfaced and finished ruth ozeki's a tale for the being rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ the book really started off slow and only got interesting, and deep nearer at the end. paradoxically for anybody working in tech (or in fact anybody who ricochets between loving and hating life), it's required reading. it questions the notion of technology as a neutral good, drawing parallels between the zen buddhist concept of time and the quantum physics view of temporality, all while remaining strikingly self-aware & experimental in both its form and meta-commentary.

woooooohooo got allocated 80% of my @megaeth bid 🐰 thank you dr fluffle

for some reason, googoo map likes to send me the most challenging cycling route (steep & hilly) instead of the nice, flat ones when I just want to get from point A to B. 💀 caveat: the humidity and heat in singapore also makes it 10x harder.

went for our first weiqi class with my sister ystd; turns out 70% of the participants were retirees. we played separate beginner 9x9 matches agst them + won by around 40–15 & 45–10. my sister, in peak low-EQ, told the auntie she was up against, “hahaha you played right into my trap.” 😭

thank you to whoever you are for making my day with your sense of humour

found a dead yellow vented bulbul in the balcony not sure what happened to this little guy because there's no nest nearby ☹️

all those years of competitive tetris in my household finally worked won 3/4 games as a first-timer and cleared all my pieces 😎 (i'm red)

Let me get this straight, you are saying I could get PAID (at an APR of 10.13% to 250%) to set a limit order to sell BTC at $127K which is.... 6% higher than the current price and if isn't at or above that price on Oct 10 I get to keep my BTC and the premium? options/accelerate
