For this week's newsletter, I somehow combined Linklater's Dazed & Confused, studio focus groups, carbohydrates, and chronic information availability. 😅. Enjoy. https://sceneswithsimon.com/p/to-being-a-little-more-dazed-and

TikTok is showing me Disco Elysium content again and getting all the feels again. The longer I'm away from it, the more I feel it's the best game I've played.

After a tough summer for running, unsure how my half marathon will go tomorrow. Still aiming for first sub 2hr and think I'll achieve it. Just not sure how comfortable it will be. 😅 Wish me luck! 🏃😎

Turns out a 1961 fantasy book 'Three Hearts & Three Lions' by Poul Anderson had a dwarf with a Scottish accent. Gary Gygax was very inspired by Poul Anderson. My first into was probably Warcraft

Anyone played Civ 6 on Switch or iPad? Wondering which to get. iPad one starts free at least.

Using old code, but never happened before. Getting "general exception occured" when trying to verify a contract on Optimism Etherscan. Anyone seen anything like this? Unreasonably hard to debug.
