“Vae victus: 'Suffering to the conquered.' So goes the recurring motif uttered by the children of the night. If what we conquer is an abstract state of affairs, then suffering is distributed into an equalized nothingness: woe is the Great Shadow haunting the Good.” youtu.be/xaw0UiJ5dcY

the game design orthodoxy is truly an abhorrent creature. almost everybody is obsessed with minimizing player friction, designing around the worst playtester experience, and simplifying all encounters and undermining their artistic vision in order to """respect your time"""

Linux distributions should not be aiming for entirely mainstream appeal, and they should learn the value of niche marketing. here is the essential problem with 'noob-friendly' distros that install a billion packages for you: they have to manage a heterogeneous space that respects

i'm not at all convinced that strong rather than moderate/weak automatic anti-cheat is necessary for multiplayer games to be generally playable. nor for e-sports to have integrity. (after all, post-hoc revocation of rewards is a solid incentive structure.)

Jaime's confession is one of those few instances where GoT does a scene better than the ASOIAF book counterpart, but one detail it critically lacks is the fact that Jaime doesn't just stop the Mad King in one swift act. he spends three days hunting down all the pyromancers,

economic regulatory questions are always intrinsically hilarious. what is an economic regulation? for the most part, a set of incentive structures. where lie incentive structures? endlessly substitutable across many possible social forms.

one thing that's interesting about my online brand is that i fulfil multiple niches at once. do you want fiery FOSS rants? i've got you. do you need that dark woke edge? i'm working that corner. do you want heterodox analytic philosophy takes? done.

reintroducing alcohol into my life has been an unironically healthy and beneficial thing. when you're not a child, the urge to compulsively redose is less — or perhaps that's just a permanent effect of LSD therapy — so i can effortlessly avoid hangovers and negative effects.

can pewdiepie's sins be forgiven due to shilling for linux and degoogling, even on the level of doing rabbit hole stuff like using zsh, a tiling window manager, self-hosting all his data, graphineos, et al? probably.

using the retard word is actually punching up because the singular man setting a path dependency sending our civilization into destruction might be highly overrated when we say his IQ is a generous 90, for he has plausibly degenerated to the level of medical disability now.

the dot com bubble was a necessary market correction that landed too softly because technocrats have discovered ways to delay (but not ultimately prevent) economic crisis. the same applies to 2007, and, yes, i'm aware of the dire consequences of letting 2007 burn and rebuild.

it sucks that there is something like technocratic “DEI” worth critiquing but since the neofascists are obsessed with a meaningless variation of it they see everywhere in a paranoid fashion, and it's a dog whistle for “my IQ struggles to be even 100”,

i can make a snarky comment on how it took China oppressing gay people for a certain kind of leftoid to cease apologizing for a cartoonishly totalitarian and hyper-capitalist regime, instead of the Muslims they pretend to care about when critiquing religious violence, but i won't

the late 2010s to early 2020s meme about living in a society is pretty ironic because one thing many people don't understand is that /we live in a society./ they can scarcely conceive of basic concepts like path dependencies, second-order effects, emergent orders,

semiotic autism has gone so far that if you don't signpost explicit allegiance to your own beliefs you'll be interpreted as a threat who holds the exact opposite values that you just expressed. e.g. it's hard to speak generically of leftoids and rightoids,

remember when bare minimum socioeconomic literacy won out and we couldn't do COVID-19 lockdowns until 2027 because COVID-19 literally lives in a society and you need movement, activity, productivity to even have things like vaccines, food, and PPE?

one thing that's incredible about X11 in contrast to Wayland as well as the Windows experience is how easy it is to control screen recording and streaming setups. have you noticed that a lot of Windows users are using full screen capture instead of exact window captures?

day 3650 of using X11 instead of Wayland: i awake to horrible sights before me where i've built concentration cramps in my sleep. i am losing my soul to 'fascism' despite fascists having trouble surviving mere contact with me unscathed.

if i ever fully recover from ME/CFS, i'm getting into the audio engineering world. when i saw Born of Osiris, i got a seat right behind their setup and was mentally analysing and critiquing their every choice. but understood that such gigs are nonetheless timelessly cool.

the first piece of information i got this from was a cybersecurity specialist who has, naturally, learned to viciously optimize for the goal of security. since he wants to design all boo boos away in a meta-programming lab, he is, of course,

every single prediction and anxiety about the faults of centralized means of providing internet access has come true. and is getting worse. this is because when you abandon the mind rape lenses of abortive concepts like intellectual property, you are given the gift of prophecy.
