I wish games like Destiny 2 had something where you could specify how much time you want to spend playing the game per week, and then the game dynamically adjusts the milestones and missions that it shows you to match what is reasonably possible in that amount of time. and maybe also used that number (hrs/week) as a guideline for multiplayer matchmaking.

given the success I've had over the past year with pen-and-paper calendars and pen-and-paper todo lists and pen-and-paper notetaking (on usually physical books), I wonder what other productivity tasks I've been lying to myself about being automatically better if you do them on a computer ?

it's funny how programming is very good and fun but then you have to interact with a package manager of any kind and then you want to throw your laptop into the sea and never look at abstract representations of any kind ever again

Flat is a pure-Python 2D drawing library "for creating and manipulating digital forms of fine arts. [...] It grew out of the needs for generative design, architecture and art." exports to SVG and so easily embeds in a jupyter notebook (`display(SVG(page.svg())`). I have been looking for something like this forever, it's a little quirky but seems too good to be true
