Player Manager

Somehow I find this LitRPG-but-it’s-about-sports-simulation weirdly compelling. Sort of in the same neighborhood as Jon Bois’ 17776/20020, but not at all the same genre or writing style. Maybe I just have a thing for “sports fiction” despite not being into sports IRL.

It’s not perfect; the MC is written as being clumsy about stuff like gender and race and it seems like that’s on purpose, and yet he still manages to seduce every beautiful woman he encounters because this is a litRPG. Despite that flaw I still find the story engaging.

Oh, right:

The Fanfiction Webring

A Neocities webring for fanfic websites. Please, yes, everyone go back to putting your fic on your own personal websites. I mean sure, also put them on archies like Ao3 and Squidgeworld and FFN, but having your own centralized space is so important too.

Brains are weird.

Styling an RSS Feed with XSLT

I don’t think about feed styles very often because my browser just automatically subscribes to them when I open one, but this could be a fun little afternoon project.
