Try it at https://t.co/jcxiM3h7OV. You can play with a friend or against the computer, which I've only managed to beat on easy

If you play chess, you might like this new side project I've built: a chess variant where pieces move in three dimensions

btw Modal board game night is today for anyone in NYC

This turned out to be an unusually good idea in retrospect. It’s crazy how small decisions can sometimes kick off huge butterfly effects

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

Hosted a board game night with friends and it was really fun! I should do this more often

shoutout to Cozy Sundays (https://t.co/LUSB3ppDVm) for the chill coworking sessions where I got time to make this

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

Built the project I had in mind!

It's a website to send thoughtful digital cards to people. Great for sending a mother's day message!

just realized my next side-project idea has already been built 10+ times 😭

might still do it anyway, just sad that it’s not very original

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

started walking to work now that the weather is warmer, and it’s nice seeing all the trees and flowers blooming in the spring

(maybe I should post one of these every season, winter version is below)

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

All the trees look so pretty! It’s like they’re covered in white leaves

@waitbutwhy Proud to be on team blue here

The flight is SQ24, from Singapore to New York (JFK), with a great circle distance of 15,349 km

Chose the correct airport for the return trip, now I can say I've taken the longest regularly-scheduled direct flight in the world! (and am super jetlagged as a result)

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

Sending this from the second-longest direct flight in the world

(only second-longest because I picked the wrong NYC airport)

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

hopefully me sharing this has a positive impact on others, although I feel like my influence on twitter is too small for that right now

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

ok, the promised lore drop is that I’m ace. Happy international asexuality day!

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

more lore drops in 4 days, stay tuned

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

it’s also hard to notice the absence of a feeling you never had. I only found out recently by asking Claude to describe what sexual attraction feels like, and getting a response that was completely foreign to me. (meanwhile it’s description of romantic attraction felt spot on)

Running this again, now with a wider invite! If you like board games and are free this Thursday (in NYC), you should come! Invite link in reply

@LydNot Are these axes independent? I feel like writing that optimizes for very wide audience breadth tends to be less original, because you end up converging on a common denominator

Today is World Autism Awareness Day, so it seems like a good time to mention that I’m on the autism spectrum (1/3)

[Howard Halim @HowardHalim]

Anyway, there’s real stigma around this (sharing this post felt scary, for example), but I hope that talking about it will help normalize it (3/3)
