  • The issue with just using UTC is that the date changes in the middle of the day. Like in Seattle it would change from one day to the next at what is currently 4 PM.

    You try to plan an event for the 16th, and which physical day it’s in depends on whether it’s before or after an (ultimately arbitrary) cutoff time. You say “oh this happened yesterday” well was it a few hours ago before the date change or do you mean the previous physical day.

    Also weekdays would be messed up. You work “Monday to Friday” between the current 9 AM and 5 PM, but then how does that work when Monday starts at (what’s currently) 4 PM? Do you work between 4 and 5 since it’s during work hours on a Monday? And on Fridays do you stop working at 4 because after that it becomes Saturday? You say you’re busy all day Wednesday, but does that mean you’re suddenly available after 4 PM when the date changes?

  • I took it on my Acer XV275K P3, which is supposedly factory calibrated to: a white balance of 7,500K, average Delta E of 1.54 (Green x of .21, y .71, Blue x .15, y .04), and 99.8% sRBG coverage. Using NixOS Unstable (rev 970e93b9f82e2a0f3675757eb0bfc73297cc6370) with KDE Plasma 6.2.4 in Wayland with HDR enabled, with SDR brightness at 50 nits, SDR saturation at +30%, and screen brightness at 80%. Firefox 133.0 64-bit running in native Wayland mode. I also got hue 174 true neutral, but there one or two where I could’ve chosen either way so idk.










  • The power went out on the 19th (Washington state), so I pulled out Carved By The Garden, a solo journaling RPG that I purchased kinda on a whim but never tried. It was my first time trying a solo RPG but it went better than I expected, it got pretty intense by the end. It was a horror RPG as well, so playing in the middle of the night with no power, flashlight in one hand, was pretty cool. I was a little unsure of how well the journaling system would work but it went pretty smoothly once it got rolling.

    Tonight I just played a DCC horror funnel, “Creep, Skrag, Creep”. It went pretty well, lots of characters were killed and lots of luck was burnt, people were burning eight luck at a time which I’ve never seen before. We play a lot of DCC but this was separate from our other campaigns.
