I, too, experience that. I am anxious and I overthink and I am avoidant. Vyvanse helped a ton, but it was producing health complications, so I am taking something else that's not as good. It's not a substitue for counseling, but c

Yes, Innovation can be very swingy and I love it. Drama is the most important aspect of board games for me. Excitement = fun

I super recommend Innovation. If you enjoy nuanced gameplay like in TCGs, this is for you. Everyone starts in the Stone Age and the goal is to race to 4-6 achievements, advancing through technological ages. Cards represent technologies and

I used to play Pokémon cards competitively. It was fun going to local tournaments and flying with friends for Regional tournaments. I stopped to focus on night school, and I want to pick it back up with the card legality change happening Fr

Thank you for making such a great tool. KCC got me back into reading manga and there are so many that are so great. For anyone looking for recommendations, I really enjoyed Pluto, Yokohama Shopping Log, and Young Ladies Don't Play Figh

You make a really salient point about having a clear vision and using clear language. Patrick Zgambo says that working with AI is spellcasting; you just need to know the magic words. The more I work with AI tools, the more I agree. Now, fig

I'm in sales. This is going to sound shallow and tautological, but you find the people to interview for Product Market Fit by looking for the people you THINK are the ideal customers. If you can't find your target market, you migh

Your experience of being better at editing than writing makes me think of advice from Alan Moore (of Watchmen fame) on writing. He says to also read bad books, because if you read only good books, you'll never realize if you unintentio

I am not a programmer. I love how vibecoding has opened the door for hyper-custom apps and scripts that benefit an exact audience of One. Last week, I built a dynamic map to track local Play! Pokémon tournaments. It uses leafletjs and an ap

I get that. I am a non-programmer who vibe codes personal web apps for Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon TCG. I turn them into github pages for easy access for myself. I don't share them with my hobby communities because I don't wa

I totally get that. I have a super corpo buddy who tells me every project is 80% planning and he uses that philosophy for his personal projects. That makes sense for a huge company. I resist working like that because I am mega ignorant and

I built a single page website that copies the current time to my clipboard and I paste it into my messages. It's inconvenient and I don't do it irregularly. I'll have to look into the extension described in the link. Thank yo

I spun off geek-themed speed dating to geek themed singles mixers. They have party games, couch co-op and vs games, karaoke, and get-to-know-you games to encourage strangers to talk to each other. A drink is included with the ticket.

I tried creating my own loot box reward system where I earn points for completing tasks (literally spare change), and I can use the money to buy a die roll, with a d20 dictating what prize I got. Prizes would be things like permission to bu

I learned basic electronics repair from modding and building arcade controllers, aka Fightsticks. That eventually evolved into Game Boy repair, and iPod retrofitting, and electronics restoration. It's kind of like cooking; find somethi

As a singles mixer host and social interaction coach, I think everyone should do anything they need in order to ease social anxiety. Something is better than nothing. For some people, memorizing names is effortless, and for others, it takes

This strongly correlates with the fact that older (40-50+) founders tend to have more successful startups. It might be because a) they intimately understand the problem that needs to be solved and b) they have the network to sell to others
