Last year I wasn't feeling too good.
I turned forty, waited for surgery, and was hurt by my own colleagues. So I dealt with things. Maybe not so well, but to the best of my ability.
One of the consequences was that I got a bit heavy. My body changed, and I didn't feel like myself. It was a problem for future me. So now I am here with this little belly of mine. We're not enemies, but I decided it's time to part ways.
So I count calories. Maybe not so well, but to the best of my ability.

Thank you! Almost back to baseline now, after a few months.
trigger warning, eating disorders:
I sometimes forget to log what I eat in my app of course, but what is perhaps slightly nore disturbing is the fact that I sometimes log stuff and then forget to actually eat them. Some sort of Baudrillardian simulacrum of eating.

ive been obsessed with deltarune this year, its probably the best indie rpg ever made. (and its only 5/7 chapters out)
I've been thinking I wanna wait until it's all out, but maybe I'm missing out by not diving in now?

Is it any better than Undertale?
I played Undertale back when it came out, but despite all the hype I thought it was just ok. Nothing really that would make me go out of my way to play a sequel.
@jamesjan3profilefollowresearcher, developer, dancerreplied to@gruntprofilefollowI am just a grain of sand on your beach.

yes its much better than undertale, from a gameplay and design perspective. undertale had good story and characters, but deltarune is just that + better production value
I have a toddler.
I come home from work, cook, feed, clean, wash up. We read stories and play. I put him to bed.
Then I put something on the television and my wife and I scroll on our phones until she goes to bed.
I am not so careless with the little free time I have.
I continue to scroll until about 1 am.
The next morning I do it again.
On the weekends, I get to drink wine.
@eatziprofilefollowEat, drink, listen to ๐ถ, & watch the fish. Occasionally cook.replied to@pcprofilefollow:
I prefer to drink wine at night and read an eBook or watch when something good comes up on streaming media.
Canโt always get what I prefer and that is life.

That's definitely the common knowledge but I'm starting to think that victory -> writing about it has it backwards in a lot of cases, esp in modern corporate life.

I agree with this. I already use different models for different tasks in part for this reason.
Never bothered with an OpenRouter account though, I just have accounts set with each provider.
And Pi is excellent. I actually find it much better than Claude Code.
