Wow! There are suddenly a lot of you! To the thousand or so new followers I’ve gained in a day, hi! Great to meet you!

In case you didn’t know, I do silly lore videos on the internet, occasionally make dumb let’s plays with friends & people have apparently decided to call me “lore daddy.”
Update on this. Internet is too inconsistent to stream atm. Keeps dropping out when the connection is taxed.

I'll be brining you YT content but sadly, no stream this time around. :(

PRO TIP

If you have YouTubers you like and follow and watch their videos a lot

leave innane/positive comments on their videos. The algo is all fucked up for YT creators and a lot of videos get sent to the void for whatever reason.

I hate doing it, but I've been trying to do it.

To anyone who's looking to watch my first full playthrough of Renegades I might only be able to stream on Twitch. We recently moved and the internet isn't quite set up yet. Apologies YT gang, but the bit rate requirements are too high.

Will test tomorrow to update you all.

So this might be pointless but for the 2 of you with the timeshare living under that rock over yonder I made a lore primer for Star Wars and Destiny.

If you're a Star Wars fan looking to get into Destiny this is also something you might appreciate!

Opened twitter for the first time in a few months for about 10 minutes to check a post.

My feed then went on to show me about 15 or so cursed things in a row…

Thinking I should continue to only ever open it for work obligations from now on.

Coldest take imaginable I know.

Well… I guess I can talk about this now… I may or may not have recently taken a trip to Bungie…

You know… I think this is one of the few times I’ll say that there’s probably no spectrum here. Especially given that every time I see an AI thing implemented in a game I think either “this is garbage” or “a person could’ve done better.”

There’s your middle ground. “Get it out. We can do better.”
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Holy Based!
“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement.

After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

Almost thought that was a continuous “Aiat” for a second there…

Little bit of hope that I enjoyed. Soteria and Astraea potentially reuniting is a titanic movement of forces in Destiny’s world. It could lead to anything from a council of intelligences to a new Warmind.

Best of all. It’s just a good thing happening to two characters that deserve it.

Just… gotta bang my head against this wall until it works.

Feeling uninspired. I think I needed time off years ago and I’ve never felt like I can take a break for long enough.

But, there’s nobody who’s gonna do it if I don’t. So I shall return to writing.

No sympathy pls. I just need coffee.
