It may seem simple, but if taking notes during play, the stop and start of it seems distracting, and it's not really viable with many online games.
So I'd guess for those writing about their experiences with games it's probably primarily reflective with few notes from during play depending on the games involved?
I think it'd be a neat idea to start a #blog, and I'm brainstorming how to do it.
Not gonna use #WordPress. #Jekyll sounds promising. There's an alternative called #Pelican that, as the creator of the the Pelicanizer, would be fitting for my blog.
Back in 2017 I had an issue with my Hakko soldering iron and found a fix but it was a YouTube video and I didn't trust I would find it again so I wrote up a blog post, linked to the video, and also wrote text instructions.
The idea being I could quickly look at my own blog post if I needed the info again... and I just did.
I think a lot of people do blog posts for others but you can totally do them for your future self too!
Once again I had the dream of stepping into the shoes of my Horizon OC so I might as well log it for fanfiction ideas! This even might just be a few chapters away in my fanfiction. I love getting these ideas. It was morning in Meridian and I woke up with a bout of anxiety recalling that Avad wanted to see me so we could take a walk together.
yesterday i passed my one year getting covid anniversary without getting reinfected so as usual I wrote a very long post – on why it is a big deal to me, my almost non-existent social ties because of covid cautiousness, post-covid health, acceptance and coping of this new reality, etc: https://winnielim.org/journal/one-year-covid-anniversary-reflections/
I have an idea, but don’t know if there is a tool available out there that already does it.
Think of a #newsletter sending system, but instead of sending everyone the latest posts, it takes into account when someone has joined, and sends them all posts in a sequence, spread out by a week of each other (or any other interval). Kind of like chapters in a series - regardless of when you joined, you always get the entire series from the start, one piece at a time.
I had a bit more to say about this and my own site is a great place to do it. I love Mastodon but I'm trying to put more on my own site when I think it makes sense. (And we need more people to do that!)

That accident of history ended up more meaningful to me: while I am most well-known for Stratechery, I am equally proud of the paid newsletter model — services like Substack were based on Stratechery [...]

I had no idea the link was that explicit. Indeed, the linked interview with Substack founder explicitly says they were inspired by Ben Thompson's Stretchery blog.
Please enjoy my blog that is free of ads, and free of tracking, and won't ask you to subscribe to a newsletter. You can even just grab the RSS feed and read the full posts that way.
I just want to publish things and share ideas and art with the world because the Internet makes it so damn easy (and cheap!) to do so... and I wish more people took a similar approach.
