Return to Office

I love the concept of offices, but these days, it seems harder and harder to access one. While this yearning may have had some influence on a new office-themed Go experience, it would be an oversimplification to say it was borne of pandemic-induced business psychosis. There were many influences.

I can certainly understand why bosses want their employees back in the office. The lounges and breakout areas would seem so lonely without subservient employees milling about, and it's much harder to yell at disposable underlings over video call. But, as an employee, I'd still rather experience all that virtually in an immersive, interactive 3d environment. (don't worry, I haven't implemented any yelling mechanics)

Into the Mirthturtleverse

With technology advancing so fast these days, it's hard to believe the game of Go is still relevant at all. And yet, that two-dimensional pastime is more fun than ever, thanks to AI analysis and wild new experimental 3d experiences.

Speaking of, I've got a new project in the works that's certain to delight. Within a new virtual company headquarters, I'm building a Go experience so big, it needs its own room.

More details to come once I've finished up with the corporate tax season. Ah, if only someone would create an immersive 3d accounting experience... NO, I have to stay focused right now.

Doubling down on Go

With Shimari Go Discipline making Featured Article for September over at Sensei's Library (and thank you to whoever did that), it seems like the company is on the cusp of success. However, more work must be done before I can enjoy a well-earned retirement.

Since Go is still the best game ever, I'm doubling down on my commitment to building software about it. This week, the brower extension got an update with a move-tagging feature: during play on OGS, you can mark a move for later review using a newly-injected button panel. If that doesn't excite you, hopefully the phrase “additional quality-of-life updates” does.

In other news: Air Mirth One continues its reign as the only Go airline, and I encourage you to follow on Twitch if you want to catch the next flight. We've yet to successfully land... but each day is a new opportunity.
