arch won't boot

... something to do with there not being a `/bin/plymouth' executable, but that's a red herring. I'd post the actual stop error but I'm in the bath now. short version: fstab got corrupted during a bad shutdown. i looked around the arch wiki page and tried targeting the specific drive that wasn't recognised, but in the end just ran `fsck -AR -y`

Before adding it to the code pod game studio on Scratch, I spent a few minutes fixing some obvious bugs and rolling it in glitter, and it occurred to me how lacking it was in any ludic qualities. We hadn’t gotten around to including collision detection or any real incentive to avoid the baddies. My only motivation was to troubleshoot technical issues - there’s no way I could accidentally start having fun with it as an actual game . Compare that experience with Pen...

vscode tabs

Taken up vscode with avengence - lovely stuff. There’s a few little bugs, like code folding in vim mode, but I figure I can live with that ‘til it gets sorted.
