Hot dang a “high impact, low confidence” forecast situation for the #Portland metro on Tuesday night.

I kid you not the reasonable range of possibilities is cold rain to 15 cm of snow overnight. Looks like wide variation throughout the metro too, one model gives Scappoose 13 cm but Tigard nothing.

Stay tuned.

I rewatched the first #MythicQuest (Season 1, ep. 1) last night and just for the heck of it, here is a thread of the highlights of what struck me (a 16 year veteran of making MMORPGs and RPGs) as both realistic and clearly unrealistic. #GameDev

Unity manual:

"‍To see what overlays are available in the Scene view, press the ` key to open the overlay menu."

Yes, that is an intuitive hotkey, which need not appear in any menu, and could not possibly result in someone accidentally hitting it while aiming for ESC and then wondering for years how they opened it.

Up and at 'em, people! These splines aren't going to reticulate themselves!

It's too late for us, but if someone is considering taking a cross-country train trip west across the USA while playing through Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West, that would be an excellent idea.

We just played game 4. Watch for @htdrake's report coming soon.

@brooke OH MY GOD! I didn't realize there was a *series* of movies (including this one) leading up to The Green Slime!

One thing I still don't understand: why weren't there a lot more guns at Jan 6? It seems like that crowd would have to be actively talked out of bringing them.

Me: Meet my horse, Mayo.

Friend: why did you call him that, he’s not even a white horse?

Mayo: [neighs]

Potential opponent Janelle Bynum's poll at least covers "protecting our environment":

02.03. Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West

@peterdrake and I are both finding our range. This morning's game was fast, tense, and close, but I slipped past him for the win (48 vs 46).

@mmlvx @shauna @ProPublica That book had some interesting things to say, but it bothered me that the wordplay in the title doesn't work. The authors describe racecraft as a process that creates race. They say it's analogous to witchcraft, but witchcraft is not a process that creates witches.

02.02. Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West

Well, THAT was quite the reversal (43 vs 13)! @peterdrake needed one more turn to lay down a key route, but I triggered the end of the game before he got to it. His dismay was exceedingly gratifying.
