FTL+Oulipo
Dec. 18th, 2018 06:33 pm-Harper's Magazine had a nice feature/review on the Oulipo, some of my writing inspirations, at the back of their new issue. Some of my favorite Oulipian constraints are the lipogram (writing text without a particular letter of the alphabet, such as e), "Exercises in Style" (retelling the same story 100 times in different formats), and "Metro Poems" (composing poems in your head between stops of a train journey, then writing the lines down at the stops).
-I had a couple plane flights the last couple weeks, and what's a nerd to do without internet? Relapse into FTL: Faster Than Light, of course. I have yet to beat the game, but the last few days I'd been trying the Kestrel (the first ship you start with) again to try to get some of the achievements that will let me unlock the next "human-style" ship. Today I got the United Federation achievement with six different species onboard at once.
( Spoilers for the Lanius sectors )
In other news, migraines suck, and I'm thinking about writing a post about the worst song from the best Christmas album. (I'd been thinking about writing it before it came on just now...)
