+Hey, wow, it's 2025!
+
+I am going into this year with a lack of credit card debt (my car did a no-power-steering)
+and a deep tired
+in my bones. I've worked every day since December 11th. Well. Every night,
+since I'm still on night shift. I quite literally asked for it so I cannot seek
+sorrow! And yet. The overtime is nice, however.
+
+The year and a new project of mine started together. I know I know, who needs
+more of those. But it's fun! I think so, at least.
+
+I call it <a href="/the-continuum/">The Continuum</a>! Every day I post a
+banner to my homepage and update
+a continually-taller image with a 256x1 strip of pixels where it's height has
+been collapsed, averaging the colours.
+
+Here's to hope I make it for at least a few months without missing a day. I think
+I can make it all year! But we'll see how <i>that</i> goes now won't we.
+
+Anyway, the archives are cool. You should go look at them ;3
+<a href="/the-continuum/banners/">banners/</a>
+
+My favourite from the week <i>(in full glory)</i>:
+<img src="/the-continuum/banners/2025-01-03/banner.gif"
+	alt="genny's and a large dog's eyes are inline with one another. their heads face roughly the same direction, but genny looks at the camera and moose, the dog, off to the right" />
+
+That's me and a coworker's dog named Moose. I love Moose. He is the biggest
+goddamn dog I've ever seen! Oh, I cannot get over how goddamn big that
+goddamn dog is. He's so large! He's like a small bear!!
+
+And that's kind of all I did! Not a lot.
+
+Well, I started to play a Minecraft modpack called <i>Enigmatica 2: Expert</i>.
+I've never played a modpack before, really, so I did some looking around and
+this one seems to be well regarded! It is challenging and fun!
+
+<i style="color: var(--text-dim)">(in which she writes a lot about e2:e because it has
+	consumed so, so much of her time)</i>
+
+It seems that the Modpacks of yore were a lot of "here are some mods that work
+well together", but now they are "here are a lot of mods that work well together,
+a little because we made them work well together, and also we have like 600 quests
+to help guide you through them!"
+
+Which is to say: There is a lot of questing? Which was surprising? Often a quest
+reward will be a "Loot Box" which is a slot machine that doesn't require payment.
+You get, as far as I can tell, a random item from the game. One of my very early
+rolls was an "Ultimate Furnace". It is a very powerful endgame utility-thing.
+
+The Ultimate Furnace smelts an item in 2 ticks. Two <i>goddamn</i> ticks!
+What is 2 ticks,,, 100 milliseconds?
+That's cool enough. I would understand if it also consumed fuel at a rate
+proportional to the smelting increase. Like an item smelts in two ticks but
+coal only lasts like, 20 ticks. That would make sense to me! But no! The fuel
+burns at the same rate it does in a normal furnace! So you <i>know</i> I filled
+that thing with sticks. It's so, so nice.
+
+I made an Industrial Craft 2 Electric Furnace <i>(a quest asked me to)</i> and
+didn't use it at all because I had this could-kill-god furnace sitting here
+that didn't consume all my EU power and smelted <i>so</i> fast.
+
+<hr />
+
+okay, that's enough. this was late by three days. i did not bleed the new week
+into it even though i very much desired so!
+
+goodbye. see you next week!
