[community profile] space_swap revealed today! I've made my way through the collection, and while the lot of you are probably in spacey fandoms I'm not in and can read more widely, I'd like to rec this wonderful work of interactive fiction: A Different Outlook. It's for Greg Egan's Diaspora, but I'd suggest trying it even if you have no clue what that is – there's a nice info section to remind you of what's going on, and you can probably get quite far into it just by knowing that the setting is ... uploaded humans, basically, but multiple generations on so they've had upload-children. And now the upload-born need to travel to another universe, because the Milky Way is undergoing an extinction event that won't let even the big computers they live on survive. So: go forth and play! (And maybe read the novel. It's enjoyable!)

In the realm of other stuff, [community profile] vexercises exercise 3 dropped today, but as I'd done mine ahead (#teacherspet) I had it done already: Whispers, Voices, Pictures, Lies, 1 minute.

Food: Made lamb baozi and dry fried mala beef (but I think I screwed up the cutting or oil or something, as mine ... didn't have any oil to pour out), and I guess I'll make noodles by hand at some point still. #bored The baozi were otherwise good, but I totally failed at the accordion pleating, and they're a bit fugly as a result. This is probably due to my lack of rolling pin.

Fic: I'm 1.4k into the final chapter of the casefic. The chapter will probably be 4-5k long, like the others. Almost done! (Tomorrow, I'll write my We Die Like Fen 3 assignment, but I should get the casefic done before next weekend. Then it's time for my other assignments...)
