Good morning and happy Monday from New England! Even as heat, smoke, and storms are doing some crazy stuff to the weather, it's always nice to return inside to the possibly-existent air conditioning and play virtual block game on funny screen. Meanwhile, there's a lot of coding with me this week that I don't quite want to discuss quite yet because I'm still working on it, although you'll see some of the fruits of that in the newsletter. For e...

Good morning and happy day before Independence Day from New England! Well friends, we've made to the end of the fourth major war on this server and I'm not sure if we've learned anything of usefulness on this one. Anyway, I hope I've covered this relatively cleanly without too much yelling, but I'll probably be yelled at in a Discord or Reddit comment in due time.

I for one, loved touching grass this we...

Good morning and happy Monday from New England! A bit shorter of an introduction today because there's not much to this newsletter anyway, but it's good to have it regardless. As an FYI, I'm taking a short pause from the newsletter for a while, as I'm going on vacation after graduating school. You might see a shortened newsletter like you've seen in the first few weeks, or just nothing at all. I just need some time to rest and also not work no...
